The NBA is starting off with a bang on opening night on Oct. 20 when LeBron James makes his debut with the Philadelphia 76ers against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
It will be a celebration in New York City as the Knicks will be raising their NBA championship banner before the nationally televised game.

As you could imagine, the amount of attention and interest on that game will be massive as the new-look 76ers, who also added Jaylen Brown this summer, visit their Atlantic Division rivals. It will be the Knicks’ first home game since Game 4 of the NBA Finals, which ended with OG Anunoby’s winning tip-in with 1.2 seconds to complete a 29-point comeback.
According to Gametime, the current get-in price for a ticket to see the Sixers-Knicks game is $2,127. That’s a vast difference compared to the two other games on the opening day of the 2026-27 NBA season. The Boston Celtics at Detroit Pistons lists a $195 get-in price, while the Oklahoma City Thunder at San Antonio Spurs matchup is currently $450.
The other notable announcement on Tuesday was the Christmas Day rematch of the NBA Finals with the Spurs visiting the Knicks. That tilt is currently drawing the highest get-in price of the day with a price of $767.
