76ers Schedule December 2026: Game Times in ET and PT, TV and the Christmas Day Game

The Philadelphia 76ers open December 2026 at home against Memphis on Tuesday, Dec. 1, at 7 p.m. Eastern Time (ET), according to the National Basketball Association (NBA) schedule. The month’s headline date is Christmas Day, Friday, Dec. 25, when the 76ers play at the Los Angeles Lakers at 2 p.m. Pacific Time (PT), which is 5 p.m. ET, on ABC and ESPN.

The NBA’s 2026-27 regular season schedule PDF, dated Aug. 13, 2026 and marked “subject to change,” gives every start in ET and also lists the home team’s local time. The table below shows both for every 76ers game in December, and a printable of the same rows is further down.

“None listed” means the NBA’s schedule shows no national network for that game. The schedule does not list local broadcasts, so this story does not name them.

76ers Christmas Day game 2026

The 76ers play at the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday, Dec. 25, at 2 p.m. PT (5 p.m. ET), on ABC and ESPN, according to the NBA’s schedule. The Lakers’ own side of the game, with their Pacific times, is in our Lakers schedule for December 2026. For the full holiday slate, see our Christmas Day 2026 NBA and National Football League (NFL) schedule and the When is Christmas? date page.

No 76ers games from Dec. 3 to Dec. 11

The NBA’s August schedule lists no 76ers games from Thursday, Dec. 3, through Friday, Dec. 11. After the Dec. 2 home game against Denver, the next listed game is Saturday, Dec. 12, at home against Orlando. That window is the Emirates NBA Cup knockout stage, and whether the 76ers play in it depends on their Cup group results, which this story does not cover.

NBA.com’s Aug. 12, 2026 Group Play release sets the Cup knockout rounds in that span: the quarterfinals on Dec. 4 and 5 in NBA team markets, the semifinals on Dec. 8 and/or Dec. 9, and the championship on Friday, Dec. 11, at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

76ers home and road games in December 2026

The schedule splits the month into five home games and six road games. Philadelphia plays four of its first five December games at home, then travels to Orlando on Dec. 14 and Charlotte on Dec. 21 around two more home games.

The year ends with a four-game Western trip: at the Lakers on Dec. 25, at the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday, Dec. 27, at Sacramento on Tuesday, Dec. 29, and at Phoenix on Wednesday, Dec. 30. The NBA lists Phoenix’s start as 7 p.m. local time, which is 9 p.m. ET. Our 76ers schedule for November 2026 covers the Cup group games that came before.

National TV carries three December games: Peacock and NBC Sports Network at Orlando on Dec. 14, Prime Video against Houston on Dec. 23, and ABC and ESPN on Christmas Day.
