La Philadelphia 76ers, affectionately known as the Sixers, trace their lineage back to the now-defunct Syracuse Nationals, who won the NBA title in 1955.
Today, the Sixers play home games at Xfinity Mobile Arena — across the street from Citizens Bank Park and Lincoln Financial Field.
Philadelphia’s professional basketball team has seen many highlights over the years, from Moses Malone’s “Fo’ Fo’ Fo’” prediction in 1983 to an improbable NBA Finals run in 2001 to Joel Embiid and “The Process” today. Now, the Sixers ready for the LeBron James era.
The franchise has claimed three NBA championships (1955, 1967 and 1983), appearing in nine NBA Finals and eight Eastern Conference Finals. The Sixers’ most recent trophy came in 1983 when they swept the Los Angeles Lakers in four games.
Looking for star power? They have plenty of luminaries.
Ten superstar players have their numbers retired and raised in the rafters: Julius Erving, Wilt Chamberlain, Allen Iverson, Charles Barkley, Moses Malone, Maurice Cheeks, Billy Cunningham, Bobby Jones, Hal Greer and Dolph Schayes.
Philadelphia’s 2026-27 basketball season promises to be epic, but don’t just take our word for it.
The NBA doled out a whopping 34 nationally televised games for the Sixers — the maximum number of national games a team can get, and the first time it has happened in Sixers’ franchise history.
Here are the biggest ones to circle on the calendar:

In 2026, LeBron James — a 22-time All-Star and four-time world champion, with three Olympic gold medals to boot — decided to take his talents to Philadelphia in a jaw-dropping move that redistributed the balance of power in the NBA.
On paper, the Sixers are stacked with stars heading into the 2026-27 season. James joins a dream starting five that includes Jaylen Brown, Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe and Joel Embiid. Bench pieces include prized free agents Dean Wade and Anfernee Simons, along with top draft pick Labaron Philon Jr.
Expectations are through the roof. The Sixers are among the early favorites to win it all in 2026 after James inked a two-year deal. A coronation (hopefully!) is the next step.

Games at Xfinity Mobile Arena are always full of entertainment, from the tradition of having a local celebrity or newsmaker ring a replica Liberty Bell for luck before games to the playing of that funky theme song after a victory and everything in between, like post-game concerts and the Sixers Dream Team Dancers.
Famous superfans — Meek Mill, Kevin Hart, M. Night Shyamalan, Questlove and more — sit regularly at courtside, high-fiving with fans. Also: Look for Alan Horwitz, aka the Sixth Man.
It’s not uncommon to see celebrity athletes sitting in the lower bowl, including Sixers greats like Allen Iverson and Julius Erving as well as current Eagles stars like Jalen Hurts and Cooper DeJean. (On rare occasions, you might see Will Smith.)

Championships don’t always result in staying power. In 1963, the struggling Syracuse Nationals relocated to Philadelphia, rebranding the franchise as the 76ers following a public naming contest. The winning fan entry was 76ers, an ode to the Declaration of Independence in the birthplace of America.
By 1967, the Sixers held the league’s best record and won the NBA championship, led by Wilt Chamberlain, Hal Greer and Billy Cunningham.

Cunningham would return to coach the 76ers and lead them to back-to-back NBA Finals in 1982 and 1983. Their 4-0 sweep over the Los Angeles Lakers in 1983 earned the franchise its first title since 1967 — fueled by star players Maurice Cheeks, Julius Erving and Moses Malone.
In 1984, the Sixers drafted Charles Barkley, and the “Round Mound of Rebound” guided the team to the Eastern Conference Finals during his rookie year.
Finally, “The Answer” arrived in 1996. Allen Iverson brought a passion seldom seen in sports. He won over the City of Brotherly Love — on the court and off it, with his hip-hop street style and never-say-die attitude. Iverson put on the Superman cape in 2001, leading the Sixers on a memorable run to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1983.
The Sixers qualified for the playoffs a handful of times over the next 10 years, with appearances from notable players like Andre Iguodala, Lou Williams, Elton Brand, Andrew Bynum and others.

The Sixers began rebuilding the franchise after the 2012-13 season, known to fans and around the league as “The Process.”
Joining the team in 2014, Joel Embiid assumed the nickname “The Process” as the team began developing a supporting cast.
Tyrese Maxey arrived on the scene in 2020, and his youthful energy and blistering speed breathed new life into the franchise — and helped them advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals again in 2021, 2022 and 2023.
The Sixers continued “The Process” reboot by selecting VJ Edgecombe in 2025. A finalist for NBA Rookie of the Year, Edgecombe helped guide the team to an exciting trip back to the Eastern Conference semifinals.
