What channel are Sixers on tonight? What time is Sixers vs. Celtics

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jaylen Brown (7) reacts to his three pointer against the Boston Celtics during the second quarter at Xfinity Mobile Arena.

Round 1 of Jaylen Brown vs. Jayson Tatum goes down in Philly tonight.

The highly anticipated first matchup between the two former Boston teammates will be on national display as the 76ers take on the Celtics at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia.

It will be the first regular season game between the two All-NBA stars after a trade sent Brown to Philadelphia for former Sixers forward Paul George and picks. Following the trade, Brown and Tatum have gone back and forth with subtle hints the stars didn't always get along during their time together in Boston.

The move to Philly came after the Celtics failed to trade Brown for former MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo which caused a spat between the Celtics and the 2024 Finals MVP.

It also will be a homecoming for George, who spent two up-and-down years with the Sixers are leaving the Los Angeles Clippers in free agency in 2024.

Adding even more intrigue of the matchup between the two conference rivals comes after Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and the Sixers came back from a 3-1 deficit to knockout the Celtics in the first round of the playoffs last season.

Along with all the drama, Philly and Boston come into the game as the top two teams in the Eastern Conference.
