The NBA will open its 2026-27 regular season on October 23rd with a triple-header on NBC and Peacock featuring the Boston Celtics at the Detroit Pistons at 3:30 PM ET, the Philadelphia 76ers at New York Knicks at 7:00 PM ET and the Oklahoma City Thunder at the San Antonio Spurs at 9:30 PM ET.

The Knicks will raise their championship banner on opening night against the Sixers with their new addition of LeBron James and Jaylen Brown. The Celtics will begin their new era without Brown on the road at the Pistons. Boston and Detroit finished last season as the top two seeds in the Eastern Conference during the regular season.

The Spurs will host the Thunder in a rematch of the Western Conference Finals that went seven games with both teams amongst the heavy favorites to win the 2027 NBA championship.

The NBA will release the rest of its regular season schedule on Thursday.
