Christmas Day and the NBA have become a perfect combination, with the league turning December 25 into one of the biggest days on the basketball calendar every year. Fans have been treated to some incredible matchups and memorable moments over the years, and the tradition will continue in 2026.
According to ESPN’s Shams Charania , the 2026 NBA Christmas Day schedule has officially been released, and the league has put together another impressive slate.
Five games highlight Christmas Day

Spurs @ Knicks
Heat @ Celtics
76ers @ Lakers
Thunder @ Timberwolves
Nuggets @ Warriors
All five games have the potential to be entertaining, but two immediately stand out because of the storylines surrounding them.
The first is Spurs at Knicks, which will give fans a rematch of the 2025 NBA Finals. San Antonio and New York taking the court on Christmas makes for an incredible sequel to one of the league’s biggest series.
Then there’s Philadelphia at Los Angeles, which could be the most anticipated game of the entire day.
It will mark LeBron James’ return to Los Angeles after leaving the Lakers to join the Philadelphia 76ers. James spent eight seasons with the Lakers and helped deliver a championship to the franchise, so seeing him walk into Crypto.com Arena wearing a Philadelphia uniform should create an electric atmosphere.
The NBA clearly understands the importance of its Christmas Day schedule, and the 2026 lineup delivers plenty of star power and storylines.
Christmas is still months away, but basketball fans already have plenty of reasons to circle December 25 on their calendars.
