Five Must-See Games On Celtics 2025-26 Schedule

Boston Celtics fans, mark your calendars with these five must-see games on the newly-released 2025-26 schedule.

October 24: Celtics @ New York Knicks

The Celtics’ second game of the regular season brings them to Madison Square Garden for a rematch against the team that ousted them in the 2024-25 postseason.

November 1: Celtics host Houston Rockets

Ime Udoka in Boston is always a dramatic event, and this time around, Udoka will be bringing Kevin Durant with him. 

December 5: Celtics host Los Angeles Lakers

The Lakers in Boston is always a special occasion. It’ll be interesting to see if a new-look Luka Dončić still struggles with Jaylen Brown’s ball pressure!

January 28: Celtics host Atlanta Hawks

Kristaps Porzingis returns to TD Garden for the first time as a Hawk! This game will also have competitive implications, with both teams expected to be jockeying for Eastern Conference playoff positioning.

March 12: Celtics @ Oklahoma City Thunder

Boston’s first game of the season against the defending champs will serve as an important measuring stick. If you happen to miss this one, OKC comes to Boston less than two weeks later (March 25).

Other dates of note:

January 10: Luke Kornet, San Antonio Spurs @ Celtics

January 26: Jrue Holiday, Portland Trail Blazers @ Celtics

Good news for Boston: On Thursday, the NBA Today program reported that the Celtics have the easiest strength of schedule in the NBA and are tied for the fewest back-to-back games, per @SleeperCeltics.

Buckle your seatbelts. The NBA season will be here sooner than you realize.
