What is the best game on the Boston Celtics schedule for the 2025-26 NBA regular season? The Celtics are of course in a bit of a retooling season for the campaign ahead, but there are a number of contests that fans of the team ought to look forward to slated to take place in the season soon to kick off.

Early in the season, there is the tilt on opening night vs. the Philadelphia 76ers, or the rematch with the team that booted them from the 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals second round, the New York Knicks. Maybe it’s the first game against the Cleveland Cavaliers in late November, or the rivalry match when the Los Angeles Lakers visit in early December. Maybe it’s the late-season tilt with the reigning champion Oklahoma City Thunder in March — there are a ton of games worth watching for Boston fans in the season ahead.

The hosts of the CLNS Media “How Bout Them Celtics!” podcast, Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance, took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over. Check it out below!
