The Los Angeles Lakers announced on April 9, 2026, that new courtside seats will be made available for the upcoming NBA playoffs, ending a stretch of almost five decades in which the team’s floor seating had been continuously sold out.

The franchise said the added courtside inventory will go on sale before the start of the postseason. Floor seats for Lakers games have been fully subscribed since the 1970s, leaving no openings for new buyers until now.

Details on pricing and exact seat locations were not disclosed, but the organization confirmed that the expansion applies exclusively to playoff games this spring.
