Sixers vs. Celtics preseason: How to watch, TV channel, start time

The Philadelphia 76ers get set to open the preseason against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday.

The Philadelphia 76ers play the Boston Celtics on Monday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place. After much of the league kicked off the preseason over the weekend, the Sixers and the Celtics will join the crowd with their opener on Monday.

The Sixers are a brand new team with a new coach for the first time in seven years, they have a new supporting cast around stars Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid, and they are ready to bounce back after a tough 2019-20 season.

They will be taking on a Celtics team that swept Philadelphia in Round 1 of the 2020 playoffs. They will look a little different as Gordon Hayward is off to the Charlotte Hornets and they added Tristan Thompson to join Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Kemba Walker.

Here’s when and where you should tune in to see the matchup:

  • Date: Tuesday, Dec. 15
  • Time: 7:30 p.m. EST
