The Sixers now know all the details of their work ahead in the 2025-26 NBA Cup.
The league announced the full group play schedule Wednesday. The Sixers’ is below:
- Oct. 31 at 7 p.m. ET vs. Celtics
- Nov. 14 at 7:30 p.m. ET at Pistons
- Nov. 25 at 8 p.m. ET vs. Magic
- Nov. 28 at 7:30 p.m. ET at Nets
The Sixers did not advance out of group play in the first two editions of the NBA Cup, which was originally known as the In-Season Tournament. Overall, they went 5-10 last year against the teams in their 2025-26 Cup group:
- 2-2 vs. Nets
- 1-2 vs. Pistons
- 1-3 vs. Celtics
- 1-3 vs. Magic
The team’s roster now includes former Net Trendon Watford, a close friend of Tyrese Maxey’s who’s expected to play a significant, versatile role.
All six group winners and two “wild cards” — the best non-group winners in each conference — will make the quarterfinals. The Cup will conclude in Las Vegas, where the semifinals (Dec. 13) and championship game (Dec. 16) will be played. The quarterfinals are scheduled for Dec. 9 and Dec. 10.
On Thursday, the NBA will announce its complete 2025-26 schedule.
