5 games to watch for from Celtics 2025-26 schedule

The 2025-26 regular season schedule is officially here, and the Boston Celtics will kick things off with a home game against the rival Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday, October 22.

Although Boston's prospects for next season aren't as promising as usual due to the untimely injury of Celtics star Jayson Tatum and a plethora of roster changes, there are still plenty of dates to look forward to. On December 5th, the C's will have a reunion of sorts at TD Garden with first-year Los Angeles Laker Marcus Smart, who went from being the heartbeat of the Celtics to a key member of their most-hated foe.

Then, on January 10th, Boston will welcome the San Antonio Spurs and former Celtics center Luke Kornet. Exactly a week later, the C's will travel down south to visit the Atlanta Hawks, who now employ ex-Boston big man Kristaps Porzingis.

Another reunion will be in the works in the new year on January 26th, when the Celtics host former starting guard Jrue Holiday and the Portland Trail Blazers. Last, but not least, the Green Team will face the Golden State Warriors on March 18th. This interconference contest will be particularly emotional if the rumors surrounding Celtics free agent Al Horford are true, as the NBA vet is expected to either retire or join the Dubs this offseason.

January 10th, 2026 - vs. San Antonio Spurs - 8:00 pm ET
