The Celtics open their regular season by hosting the 76ers on Oct. 22 at TD Garden. The schedule features 80 games currently with two more added based on how NBA Cup play goes. Notably, the Celtics won’t play on Christmas Day for the first time since 2015.

The Boston Celtics are going to look a lot different during the 2025-26 season, but there will be plenty of intrigue around the team as it navigates a season without Jayson Tatum.

The Boston Celtics have a tough schedule for the 2025 NBA Cup. Or at least that is the point of view of the hosts of the CLNS Media "How Bout Them Celtics!" podcast, Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance, in a recent episode of their show that came out with the release of the NBA's 2025-26 regular season schedule.
