On top of their regular-season schedule<\/a>, the Sixers\u2019 preseason slate is now finalized.<\/p>\n

The Sixers on Monday announced their 2026 preseason schedule, which begins with an Oct. 5 home game against the Knicks. All games will air on NBC Sports Philadelphia and 97.5 The Fanatic. The full schedule is below:<\/p>\n

Oct. 5, 7 p.m. ET: Sixers vs. Knicks<\/p>\n

Oct. 8, 7:30 p.m. ET: Sixers at Nets<\/p>\n

Oct. 10, 8 p.m. ET: Sixers at Celtics<\/p>\n

Oct. 16, 7 p.m. ET: Sixers vs. Celtics\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Sixers are set to open both the preseason and regular season against the defending champion Knicks, who knocked them out of the playoffs last year in a second-round series sweep<\/a>. The Sixers and Knicks also faced each other last preseason and New York won both exhibition games in Abu Dhabi.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

While Jaylen Brown won\u2019t return to Boston in the regular season until Jan. 21<\/a>, the Sixers-Celtics preseason matchups should be interesting to watch. The two teams made a major trade this summer that sent Brown to Philadelphia and Paul George to Boston.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Sixers presumably won\u2019t play their full-strength team for much of the preseason, but the exhibition games will provide the first glimpse at a new-look team with LeBron James<\/a>, Brown<\/a> and sky-high expectations.\u00a0The Sixers’ regular-season opener at Madison Square Garden will tip off on Oct. 20 at 7 p.m. ET. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On top of their regular-season schedule, the Sixers\u2019 preseason slate is now finalized.
