76ers To Play 34 Nationally Televised Games, Including Christmas Day

The Philadelphia 76ers are getting ready to hit the hardwood in a couple of months following last season’s finish in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

The Sixers revealed its regular season schedule Wednesday. The team will kick things off as part of the NBA’s Opening Night, with a nationally televised away game on Oct. 18 against the defending Eastern Conference Champions, the Boston Celtics. The game starts at 7:30 p.m. and will be shown on TNT.

The Wells Fargo Center will welcome the Sixers back just two days later on Oct. 20 when the Greek Freak, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and the Milwaukee Bucks come to town. That game will also be shown on TNT at 7:30 p.m.

On November 8th, Election Day, the NBA will not be hosting games to encourage fans to vote in the midterms. The league says over the next few months, teams will provide information on their state’s voting process and voter registration deadlines in order to help fans make a plan to vote. On Nov. 7 Philly will play the Phoenix Suns at home at 8 p.m.

The 76ers will close the season with an away game against the Nets on Apr. 9, 2023.
