The full 2026-27 regular season schedule has been revealed for the Philadelphia 76ers and they will open the season on Oct. 20 against the New York Knicks in a highly anticipated matchup. They will also see the Knicks on Oct. 30 in the NBA Cup opener, and now, for a preseason matchup.
The Sixers have not officially released a preseason schedule, but the Knicks announced that they will face Philadelphia on Oct. 5 in a preseason matchup at the Xfinity Mobile Arena. That marks three matchups with the defending champs in the month of October.
The preseason matchup is, obviously, not going to show much, but the Sixers will be looking to get some type of idea of what they can do ahead of the regular season matchups.
