LeBron James will play his first game with the Philadelphia 76ers on the NBA's opening night against the NBA champion New York Knicks.
The Oct. 20 game at Madison Square Garden will be part of a tripleheader, when the Knicks raise a banner to celebrate their first championship since 1973 and James then kicks off what he says will be the final stop in his career.
On Oct. 22, they'll take on the Cleveland Cavaliers - James' first team, and another rumored contender for his talents this season - for the home opener in South Philly. The game will air on ESPN.
Two months later, on Christmas Day, James will face off against his former team, the Los Angeles Lakers, and his son Bronny James.
The NBA unveiled those games Tuesday morning as what it called a "sneak peek" at the 2026-27 schedule. The full schedule will be released Thursday.
