Rio Grande Valley Vipers release 2022-23 NBA G League schedule

The 2021-22 NBA G League champions, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, the G League affiliate of the Houston Rockets, announced their 2022-23 season schedule.

This year’s schedule features 50 games, including 24 home games at Bert Ogden Arena in Edinburg, Texas; 24 road games; and two games in the NBA G League Showcase. Television details are not yet available, though most games from last season were available on either an ESPN network or the ESPN+ streaming service.

For the second consecutive season, the G League schedule will be split into two parts: the 18-game Showcase Cup followed by a 32-game regular season. The Showcase Cup begins on Friday, Nov. 4 and culminates with a single-elimination tournament to crown a champion at the 2022 AT&T NBA G League Winter Showcase from Dec. 19-22. Following the Showcase Cup, team records will reset in advance of the 32-game regular season, which tips off on Dec. 27.

The Vipers (roster) will open the 2022-23 season on the road on Nov. 6 versus the Mexico City Capitanes, who will join the G League for the full season. Then, the Vipers will host the Birmingham Squadron for the home opener on Friday, Nov. 11.

This season’s home opener will consist of a ring ceremony to embrace the 2021-22 NBA G League champions. The Vipers will be presented with their championship ring on that night, which will also feature the unveiling of the club’s fourth championship banner and a neon-themed jersey to commemorate the team’s neon campaign.

Further details, schedule highlights and theme nights are available in a press release from the Vipers. Scroll on for a month-by-month breakdown of RGV’s 2022-23 slate for the regular season, which they hope will be followed by another strong postseason run.
