It’s one of the highlights of the 76ers<\/a>‘ full 2026-27 schedule that was released on Thursday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The schedules for opening night and Christmas had already been unveiled earlier this week.<\/a><\/p>\n

The season will open Oct. 20 with a tripleheader, highlighted by LeBron James, Brown and the 76ers visiting the Knicks, who will receive their rings after winning the franchise’s first championship since 1973.<\/p>\n

Every team will play on Monday, Nov. 2, and there will then be no games the following night, which is Election Day in the U.S. The league is leaving that first Tuesday in November as an open day in hopes that fans and members of the NBA community will participate in the voting process.<\/p>\n

No teams will play on Saturday, April 10, the second-to-last day of the regular season. Every team is then in action on the final day, with all the games matching Eastern Conference teams and the one interconference matchup scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. EDT. The games involving West teams are set for 8:30 p.m.<\/p>\n
