Sixers vs. Wizards season opener: How to watch, TV channel, start time

The Philadelphia 76ers begin the 2020-21 season by hosting the Washington Wizards on Wednesday.

The Philadelphia 76ers play the Washington Wizards on Wednesday to begin the season, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place. The Sixers are looking to get off on the right foot as Russell Westbrook and Bradley Beal invade Philadelphia.

The Sixers and the Wizards are largely new teams. There will be sloppy play in this game, and there are some things that fans should watch for. One of them will be Joel Embiid’s shot selection as coach Doc Rivers is not concerned with where he takes his shots and the other will be Ben Simmons’ ability to push the ball in transition in this new offense.

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

  • Date: Wednesday, Dec. 23
  • Time: 7 p.m. EST
  • Location: Wells Fargo Center Philadelphia, PA
  • Channel: NBC Sports Philadelphia
