Complete 2025-26 Boston Celtics schedule team-by-team breakdown

The Boston Celtics are about two months away from the start of their unpredictable 2025-26 season.

There are a lot of uncertainties heading into the 2025-26 season for the Boston Celtics, but one thing they can be certain about is their regular season schedule.

Boston knows it'll start the upcoming campaign on Oct. 22 at home and conclude its 82-game slate on April 12. It doesn't know if star Jayson Tatum will return to action in the next several months due to his recovery from a brutal Achilles injury. In addition, the C's might not know what their starting lineup will look like, as former starting center Kristaps Porzingis and former starting guard Jrue Holiday were traded away during a busy offseason.

Regardless of Tatum's status and the relatively unknown starting five, Celtics basketball will be back in less than two months. In the meantime, here is a complete team-by-team breakdown of when the Celts' will face each team in the league:
