Indiana Pacers vs. Golden State Warriors

Indiana Pacers vs. Golden State Warriors at Gainbridge Fieldhouse

Some visitors get your attention before they even step onto the floor. The Golden State Warriors are coming to Indianapolis. On December 16, 2026, the Indiana Pacers host Golden State at Gainbridge Fieldhouse at 7:00 PM, offering local fans a chance to see their team share the court with one of the NBA's most recognizable franchises. But a night in the arena gives it sound, scale and a roomful of people rooting for a different ending than the visitors want.

The Warriors bring championship memories, but the game is the appeal. Basketball is at its best when one team's answer comes immediately after the other's big play. The crowd rises for a Pacers run. A defensive stand suddenly feels as satisfying as a basket. On television, the camera jumps to whoever has the ball; inside Gainbridge, you can follow the whole sequence developing. Indiana fans have a chance to make the visitors feel they've walked into somebody else's building.

This is a game to share with your basketball people. Bring the friend who's always comparing NBA teams, a longtime Pacers supporter or someone who would love a first pro game against a famous opponent. Have dinner downtown, pull on your home colors and make the matchup the main event of your evening. Past titles guarantee nothing tonight. That's precisely why a live seat is more exciting than a highlight afterward. Choose tickets for Pacers vs. Warriors and be there for Indiana's turn to take on Golden State.
