What is the story about?

The Philadelphia 76ers open the preseason with a matchup with the New York Knicks on Monday, and if you're wondering how you can watch all the action live, you've come to the right place. The Sixers will be looking to get off on the right foot and get through the preseason opener unscathed.

This will be a familiar opponent for Philadelphia as it faced the Knicks in the playoffs back in May, the four times in the regular season, and two preseason matchups in 2025-26. The Sixers will also see this team on opening night on Oct. 20 and in the NBA Cup opener on Oct. 30. The Knicks, the defending champions, have what Philadelphia wants and it will be interesting to see what these teams show each other on Monday night in the exhibition part of the schedule.

Here's when and where you should tune in to see the matchup:
