How to watch Philadelphia 76ers on TV?

PHILADELPHIA 76ers

The Philadelphia 76ers were founded in 1946 as the Syracuse Nationals. The Sixers are one of the oldest franchises in the league and one of just eight that survived the NBA’s first decade. Philadelphia is a member of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference.

The Nationals were fairly successful in the early days of the NBA. When the Philadelphia Warriors moved after the 1961-62 season, the new owners of the franchise moved the Nationals to Philadelphia where they became the 76ers. The Sixers became very successful in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The franchise won its last NBA championship in 1983.

The 76ers are always a big draw on national television. Games can be viewed on ESPN, ESPN+, ABC, and TNT. Regional telecasts are available on NBC Sports Philadelphia. The complete Philadelphia 76ers schedule (some games subject to blackout) can be watched via live stream at NBA.tv.

The Sixers originally played at the Conventional Hall and Philadelphia Arena from 1963 to 1967 before moving into The Spectrum. The 76ers moved into their current home, the Wells Fargo Center, in 1996. The arena seats 20,478 for Sixers’ games.

CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY

The 76ers experienced success right from the beginning of their days in the NBA. They advanced to their first NBA Finals in the league’s first season in 1948-49. The Sixers won their first NBA title in 1955 and have won two more: 1967 and 1983.

Philadelphia, a member of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference, has claimed five division titles (1977, 1978, 1983, 1990, and 2001) and nine conference titles (1950, 1954, 1955, 1967, 1977, 1980, 1982, 1983, and 2001). Since the very first NBA season, Philadelphia has earned 49 playoff berths.

BEST OF THE SIXERS

The 76ers have had some great players through the years. It started with 6-foot-8-inch Dolph Schayes, the No. 4 overall pick in the 1948 draft. Schayes played his entire 16-year NBA career with the 76ers franchise. He was a 12-time All-Star and was part of the Sixers’ first NBA championship in 1955.

Julius Erving, better known as Dr. J, played 12 seasons in Philadelphia. After starting his career with the Nets and earning multiple awards in the ABA, Erving did the same in the NBA. He was an 11-time All-Star and was voted the NBA’s MVP in 1981. He led Philadelphia to the 1983 NBA title and finished his career with averages of 24.2 points and 8.5 rebounds per game. Like Schayes, Erving is a member of both the College Basketball and Basketball Halls of Fame.

Allen Iverson is the second-leading scorer in 76ers history. He was the first overall pick in the 1996 NBA draft. Iverson was an 11-time All-Star, won the All-Star Game MVP twice, and was the league MVP in 2001. He led the NBA in scoring in four different seasons.

Charles Barkley began his career in Philadelphia playing nine seasons with the Sixers. He would make the All-Star team in six straight seasons as a member of the 76ers. Barkley averaged 20 points or more and 10 rebounds or more in all but his rookie season in Philadelphia. He finished his NBA career with averages of 22.1 points and 11.7 rebounds.
