Episode Details

The Chicago Bulls’ full 2026-27 NBA schedule is here — and the league made one thing clear: Chicago has to earn its way back into the spotlight.

On today’s Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down the biggest takeaways from the Bulls’ newly released schedule, including the start of the Caleb Wilson era, a tough opening month, only three national TV games, major homecomings, revenge games and the stretches that could define the season.

The Bulls open the season on the road against the Toronto Raptors on Oct. 21, then return to the United Center for their home opener against AJ Dybantsa and the Washington Wizards on Oct. 24. From there, Chicago’s early schedule gives fans a fast look at how ready Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis, Josh Giddey, Norman Powell, Nic Claxton and Tiago Splitter really are.

Haize also reacts to the Bulls receiving just three national TV games this season, including matchups against the New York Knicks, Indiana Pacers and Brooklyn Nets. Is the NBA justified after Chicago’s recent lack of postseason relevance, or is the league missing a chance to showcase one of its most exciting young players in Caleb Wilson?

Plus, Haize looks at key dates like Coby White’s Charlotte matchups, Ayo Dosunmu’s return to Chicago with Minnesota, the Bulls’ two four-game road trips, the March six-game homestand, matchups against the new-look Philadelphia 76ers, and battles with Western Conference powers like the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder.
