Bold claim: Spurs Week in Austin proves sports and city synergy at its finest, turning a routine team visit into a full-blown celebration of community, freebies, and basketball culture. And this is the part most people miss: the surrounding events transform a couple of games into a weeklong experience that fans remember long after the final buzzer.
The San Antonio Spurs are back in Austin for their annual I-35 Series, bringing a packed slate of activities to the capital. The two-game set at Moody Center features matchups with the Phoenix Suns on Thursday, February 19, and the Sacramento Kings on Saturday, February 21.
Austin, still without a local professional basketball franchise after last year’s bid for a WNBA expansion, gains a notable basketball spotlight through this collaboration. As part of Spurs Week, the team will host a range of activations, popups, and giveaways across the city, offering fans free food, beverages, coffee, prizes, and more.
Here’s what to watch for:
- Free coffee all week at Jo’s, Mañana, and the Casa De Spurs downtown popup.
