The Rockets are scheduled to wear the City Edition uniform for 13 home games this season, starting with a Nov. 20 contest against the Indiana Pacers.
Every home game during which the Rockets are slated to wear the City Edition uniforms at Toyota Center is listed below (h/t the NBA's Locker Vision.)

The trim on the City Edition uniform shorts imitates the shape of the Rockets' back-to-back championship banners, according to the team.
The shorts also bear a patch displaying the center logo of the Summit Center, the former home of the Rockets before the team moved to Toyota Center before the 2003-04 season.
The back of the jerseys are stitched with the signatures of former Rockets stars Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler, above the slogan "BELIEVE IT! AGAIN!" that was embraced by Houston fans during the team's 1995 title run.
Jalen Green has averaged a career-high 22.6 points through eight games to help the Rockets get off to a 5-3 start to the season. The team has won four of its last five games heading into Friday, most recently claiming a definitive 127-100 win over Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs.
Houston has not recorded a winning season since 2020. The Rockets will hope they remain on pace to break that streak by the time they don the 2024-25 City Edition jerseys for the first time in Game 16.
For now, the team will focus on taking on the 7-1 Oklahoma City Thunder when Friday night's home game tips off at 8 p.m. ET.
