BOSTON —

The Boston Celtics’ 2025-2026 schedule dropped Thursday, and the C’s are set to open the season at home against the Philadelphia 76ers on Oct. 22.

The Celtics will play in 25 nationally televised games, with the first a rematch of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Oct. 24 on Amazon Prime.

On Halloween, the Celtics will visit Philadelphia in Game 1 of the in-season tournament/NBA Cup’s second season.

Surprisingly, there is a new change to the Celtics’ schedule: the team will not play on Christmas Day this season, the first time the holiday slate will be without Boston since 2015.

WCVB will broadcast 8 of the Celtics games, including February showdowns against the Dallas Mavericks, Knicks and long-time rival Los Angeles Lakers.

Friends turned enemies: Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis will return to the parquet after the Celtics notably traded both players in the offseason.

Holiday, now a Portland Trail Blazer, will return to Boston on Jan. 26, while Porzingis, traded to the Atlanta Hawks, will return two days later on Jan. 28.

The Celtics will notably be without their star forward, Jayson Tatum, after the 27-year-old went down with a ruptured Achilles tendon in the final minutes of Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Tatum’s exact return to the team is unknown, but Dr. Rock Positano, director of the Joe DiMaggio Foot and Ankle Center at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, said recovery of most ruptured Achilles tendon injuries can take anywhere from four to six months.
