About this event
The Wizards host the Nets in a preseason game at Capital One Arena on Monday, October 12, 2026, with tip-off at 7:00 PM. The arena sits at 601 F Street NW in the heart of downtown DC, so foot traffic builds along F and 7th Streets in the couple of hours before tip and again as fans spill out after the final buzzer. A weeknight preseason game draws a lighter, more casual crowd than a regular season matchup, which can favor quick-service operators positioned on the walk between Metro Center or Gallery Place and the arena doors. Plan for two distinct rushes rather than steady traffic across the evening.
