The NBA has dropped the first tidbits of the 2025-26 season as Good Morning America and The Today Show released a sneak peek of some nationally televised this season on ABC, ESPN, NBC, and Peacock. RIP officially to the NBA on TNT.
The Sixers did not feature in any of those games, so their first games announced were their four matchups of group play in the NBA Cup. Their opponents were announced about a month ago, but now the order has been revealed as well. They’ll kick things off on Halloween when
they host the Boston Celtics at 7:00 p.m. ET. That will be nationally televised, or perhaps nationally streamed is the correct phrasing because that game will take place on Amazon Prime. Their next game of group play will be on Nov. 14 when they travel to Detroit to take on the Pistons at 7:30 p.m. ET.
Their second home game of group play will also be nationally televised when they take on the Orlando Magic at 7:00 p.m. ET on NBC. Group play will wrap up for the Sixers on Nov. 28 when they head up to Brooklyn to take on the Nets at 7.30 p.m. ET.
So it won’t be long for Sixers fans to get a new look at the new stations that will be broadcasting the NBA nationally going forward. The only question now is what blindingly bright color will the Sixers’ Cup court be this season? After going through red and blue in their first two years, they are quickly running out of new options.
