The wait is nearly over, and Grind City is faithful. The Memphis Grizzlies are just weeks away from returning to the court, kicking off what fans hope will be a redemption season. With the regular season opener against the Utah Jazz scheduled for October 23, the Grizzlies have a packed agenda ahead of them, starting with Media Day and training camp.
Key Dates for Grizzlies Training Camp
Media Day for the Memphis Grizzlies is set for September 30, the same date as most NBA teams. The only exceptions are the Boston Celtics and Denver Nuggets, who will have their Media Day on September 24, as they prepare for an early preseason game in Abu Dhabi.
Training camp for the Memphis Grizzlies will officially begin on Tuesday, October 1. This marks the start of their preparations for the 2024-25 NBA season.
Due to ongoing upgrades at FedExForum, the Grizzlies will hold their training camp in Nashville. The Ensworth School will serve as the temporary home for the team as they work through these essential preseason practices. According to Damichael Cole of The Commercial Appeal , the upgrades at FedExForum involve the arena's rigging grid and sound system, limiting the space available for the team in Memphis during this period.
Despite the renovations at FedExForum, the Grizzlies are still expected to host their annual open practice for fans. At the same time, the exact date is yet to be announced; last year’s open practice was held on October 7, so fans can expect a similar timing this year.

The Memphis Grizzlies will kick off their preseason with a series of games leading up to their regular season opener. Here’s the full schedule:
October 7: @ Dallas Mavericks, 8:00 PM (CDT)
October 10: vs. Charlotte Hornets, 8:00 PM (CDT) – at FedExForum
October 12: @ Chicago Bulls, 8:00 PM (CDT)
October 14: @ Indiana Pacers, 7:00 PM (CDT)
October 18: vs. Miami Heat, 8:00 PM (CDT) – at FedExForum
Despite the ongoing work at FedExForum, the arena will be ready to host two preseason games, giving fans a chance to see their team in action on home court before the regular season begins.
With training camp and preseason just around the corner, the Memphis Grizzlies are ready to put last season behind them and focus on a fresh start. Mark your calendars, Grizzlies fans - basketball is almost back.
