What stands out on 2026-27 Sixers schedule, from back-to-backs to marquee games 
Дата публикации: 13-08-2026 21:05:39



In a little over two months, the games will begin in earnest for the 2026-27 Sixers.
Following the NBA’s regular-season schedule release Thursday, here’s a look at what stands out about the Sixers’ slate: 
Homecoming games
LeBron James will visit the Lakers for the first time as a Sixer on Christmas. Jaylen Brown won’t return to Boston in the regular season until the Sixers play the Celtics on Jan. 21. 
Former Sixers big man Andre Drummond will head to Xfinity Mobile Arena with the defending champion Knicks on Oct. 30. Paul George and the Celtics’ first trip to Philadelphia is set for Nov. 10. Kelly Oubre Jr. will be back as a Pacer on Nov. 15. 
Lighter back-to-back load 
The Sixers played 16 back-to-backs last season. For what it’s worth, they fared very well in the second leg of back-to-backs, going 12-4. They’d been 2-13 the season prior.
The team has 13 back-to-backs on its 2026-27 schedule. With 41-year-old James and 32-year-old Joel Embiid on the roster, the Sixers surely won’t mind the reduction. 
Plenty of the Pacers early 
The Sixers saw the Celtics at a strangely high rate to start last year, facing Boston in three of their first 11 games. This season they’ll play the Celtics just once in their first 44. 
The 2026-27 calendar includes three games against the Pacers in the first 20. The Sixers will also face the Pistons twice and the Bulls twice during that stretch. 
Massive national audience 
Many eyes outside of Philadelphia will be on the star-packed Sixers next season.
The Sixers “will reach the 34-game national television maximum for the first time in franchise history this season,” per a team press release. They’ll feature on opening night (Oct. 20 at the Knicks), Christmas (a 5 p.m. ET tip-off at the Lakers), Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Jan. 18 at the Hawks) and Presidents’ Day (Feb. 15 at the Mavericks). 
The Knicks, Spurs and Lakers also have 34 nationally televised games on their schedules.
Road trips and homestands 
The longest road trip for the Sixers is a five-game swing from Christmas through New Year’s Day. 
The team’s longest homestand is four games. The Sixers play six of seven games at home between Jan. 4 and Jan. 16, although the one road game is international (Jan. 10 against the Raptors).
The Sixers’ four-game homestand appears to be nicely timed. It runs from Feb. 5 and Feb. 11, which is the day of the trade deadline. Regardless of how the front office handles the deadline, the Sixers won’t have to worry about any travel. 
A sole mini-series with Magic 
The lone opponent that the Sixers will play twice in a row is the Magic.
They’ll host the Magic, who they beat in last season’s play-in tournament, on Dec. 12. The Sixers will then go to Orlando on Dec. 14. 
Waiting for Western Conference champs 
Late-season games tend to be tricky to be predict. Some teams are far out of contention, some are hampered by injuries, and others are pushing hard for seeding purposes.
Whatever the circumstances, it’s notable that the Sixers will play the defending Western Conference champions two times near the end of the year. They’re set to face the Spurs in San Antonio on March 11 and in Philadelphia on March 21. The Spurs won both late-season matchups over the Sixers in last year’s season series, including a 40-point road victory on March 3.
