The Philadelphia 76ers have released their preseason schedule for the 2026-27 season, which begins at home on October 5 against the New York Knicks. The preseason lineup also includes matchups against the Brooklyn Nets and the Boston Celtics.

Following roster additions of Jaylen Brown and LeBron James, analysts are monitoring how the new lineup develops chemistry. The team is also expected to benefit from a favorable regular-season schedule characterized by fewer back-to-back games and a delayed start to facing Western Conference opponents. This scheduling structure may assist in managing the physical workload of players such as Joel Embiid.
