About the Cleveland Cavaliers
Founded in 1970, the Cavaliers spent their early decades searching for stability before establishing themselves as one of the more compelling stories in the modern NBA. The franchise's identity is inseparable from LeBron James, the local prodigy whose two spells in a Cavaliers jersey lifted the team to sustained relevance and, ultimately, to the summit of the sport. Other figures, from Mark Price and Brad Daugherty in the shooting-heavy sides of the late 1980s and early 1990s to Kyrie Irving during the championship run, have all added chapters to the club's history. On a game night the Cavaliers' downtown arena has a distinctive, high-energy character, with wine and gold filling the stands and the noise building through every run. Playoff atmospheres in Cleveland are especially fierce, reflecting a fan base that endured lean years and savours every high. The venue sits at the heart of the city's sporting district, giving matchdays a lively, communal feel before and after tip-off. The Cavaliers' most storied rivalry is with the Golden State Warriors, forged through a run of Finals meetings that defined a basketball era. Within the Eastern Conference, clashes with Central Division neighbours and traditional powers such as the Boston Celtics carry particular edge, while visits from marquee opponents and star players reliably raise the temperature inside the arena.
Tickets
With an 82-game regular season split into 41 home fixtures, availability for Cavaliers tickets is far wider than you would find in the NFL, so there is usually plenty of choice across the calendar. Prices tend to spike when a glamour opponent comes to town, on weekend fixtures, for nationally televised games and, above all, during the postseason, when demand climbs sharply. Seating tiers shape the experience as much as the price, from courtside and lower-bowl seats close to the action to the more affordable upper bowl, where the atmosphere and overall view of the floor come into their own. Every listing on Staadly comes from verified sellers with all-in pricing, so the figure you see reflects what you pay, and each purchase is backed by our 100% buyer guarantee.
Championships & Banners
The Cavaliers' defining achievement is the 2016 NBA championship, secured with a historic comeback in the Finals and celebrated as the city's first major title in decades. That triumph came during a run of consecutive Finals appearances, with the club also reaching the Finals in the earlier LeBron James era. More recently the Cavaliers have re-emerged as a competitive Eastern Conference side, returning to the playoff picture and rebuilding around a talented young core.
Frequently asked questions
How many home games do the Cavaliers play each season?
The Cavaliers play 41 regular-season home games as part of the NBA's 82-game schedule, with the potential for additional home fixtures should the team reach the postseason.
When is the NBA schedule released?
The full regular-season schedule is typically announced in advance of the season starting in October. Exact dates vary each year, so it is worth checking closer to the time and setting up alerts for the games you want.
Which Cavaliers games cost more, and why?
Fixtures against marquee visiting teams and star players, weekend dates and nationally televised games usually command higher prices because demand is greater. Postseason games are the most sought-after of all.
How do playoff tickets differ from regular-season ones?
Playoff tickets are in much higher demand and can be released on shorter timelines as matchups are confirmed. Atmospheres are heightened and availability is tighter, so buyers who act early tend to have more choice.
What is the difference between courtside and upper-tier seats?
Courtside and lower-bowl seats put you closest to the players and the intensity of the game, at a premium. Upper-bowl seats are more affordable and offer a broad, panoramic view of the floor alongside a lively crowd atmosphere.
