Cleveland Charge vs. Delaware Blue Coats

Cleveland Charge vs. Delaware Blue Coats at Public Hall At Cleveland Public Auditorium

New Year's weekend deserves a game with some substance. The Cleveland Charge host the Delaware Blue Coats at Public Hall on Saturday, January 2, and you can spend the weekend watching real basketball.

The NBA G League is the NBA's official minor league, which means the pace is real, the effort is real and everyone on the floor is competing for every possession. Delaware, the Philadelphia 76ers' affiliate, gives Cleveland a quality test before the ball is even tipped. Public Hall adds its own appeal. It gives the Charge a downtown stage with room for the game to breathe, and there's something satisfying about seeing pro basketball in a setting that feels distinctly Cleveland. It turns the night into more than a box score. A New Year's weekend crowd tends to be relaxed and generous with its noise. People are off work and happy to be out, and that mood lifts a game from the opening tip.

If you want your weekend to start with energy and competition, and with a team you can follow all season, here it is. Make the first Saturday of 2027 a basketball night. Bring family you haven't seen in a while or a friend who has been asking for a plan. Public Hall makes it easy. Get Charge tickets for the Delaware game on January 2.
