Boston Celtics schedule 2026
The NBA regular season runs 82 games from late October through mid-April: 41 home games at TD Garden, 41 on the road. The Celtics play their Atlantic Division rivals — Knicks, 76ers, Raptors, Nets — four times each season for 16 divisional games, plus three or four games against each remaining Eastern Conference team and two games against each Western Conference team. The Celtics get nationally televised games more often than most teams — TNT Thursday-night double-headers, ABC Saturday primetime, and Christmas Day appearances are recurring slots. The In-Season Tournament plays through November. The All-Star break is the third weekend of February. The postseason starts in mid-April with the Play-In Tournament for seeds 7–10. Use the schedule strip above to filter by month, opponent, or home/away.
The next Celtics game appears at the top of the schedule on this page, with the opponent, date, tip-off time in Eastern Time, and home-or-road indicator pulled directly from the live NBA feed. The Celtics play roughly every other day from late October through mid-April, with built-in off days every 1–3 games and the All-Star break in mid-February. If the team is on a road trip, this page shows the visiting city and the start time in local time alongside Eastern Time. Once the regular season ends, if the Celtics qualify for the postseason, this page rolls straight into the Play-In Tournament, Eastern Conference First Round, Conference Semifinals, Conference Finals, and NBA Finals matchups as they're set.

About the Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics are the NBA's most-decorated franchise — 18 championships (tied with the Lakers for the most in league history through 2024), 23 Eastern Conference titles, and the longest continuous winning tradition of any team in major American sports. The Celtics play their home games at TD Garden, the 19,156-seat arena above North Station that opened in 1995 to replace the old Boston Garden (the parquet-floor venue from 1928 to 1995 that hosted the 1960s Bill Russell dynasty). A Celtics night at TD Garden fills the arena with green-and-white-clad fans who carry the city's most-decorated sports legacy, and the broadcast tops Eastern Conference ratings most weeks. For Boston, the Celtics are the calendar's centrepiece from late October through the playoffs in June — sharing the building with the Boston Bruins (NHL), the Garden's two anchor tenants — and this page is the local landing spot for anyone trying to figure out whether the Celtics play tonight, what time tip-off is, who they're facing, and where to grab tickets.

Boston Celtics tickets are available primarily through TicketNetwork and the official team site, with secondary inventory on StubHub, SeatGeek, Vivid Seats, and others linked from each game card on this page. The 2024 championship and the ongoing Tatum-Brown era have driven season-ticket demand to a multi-year waiting list. Single-game tickets typically go on sale in mid-September. Premium courtside packages include the West End Lounge and in-seat service. Resale floors drop sharply for non-rival weekday games; the parquet's smaller capacity (19,156) keeps marquee-game pricing higher than the league median.
Matchday at TD Garden
A Boston Celtics matchday means basketball under the lights at TD Garden. It's set in West End (atop North Station), an easy place to arrive early and soak up the atmosphere. The building holds 17,850-seat arena. Games against the 76ers are the ones fans circle first — the two sides have met 6 times in the data we track, and those dates draw the biggest crowds. Plan to arrive at least 45 minutes ahead to clear the gates and find your seat; a typical basketball game lasts roughly 2–3 hours.

vs Los Angeles Lakers
Celtics vs Lakers is the most storied rivalry in American professional sports. The two franchises have combined for 35 NBA championships — 18 for Boston and 17 for the Lakers through 2024 — and met in 12 NBA Finals, with Boston winning nine. The 1980s chapter — Larry Bird against Magic Johnson, three Finals matchups in four years (1984, 1985, 1987) — is the rivalry's defining era. The 2008 NBA Finals (Boston in six games over LA) ended a 21-year title drought for the Celtics; the 2010 Finals (Lakers in seven games over Boston) gave Kobe Bryant his fifth ring. The two teams play twice in the regular season — one game at TD Garden, one at Crypto.com Arena — and both broadcasts top the league's regular-season ratings every year.
vs New York Knicks
Celtics vs Knicks is the Atlantic Division rivalry that has been one of the most heated regional matchups in the NBA for decades. The two cities — Boston and New York — share rivalries across every sport, and the Celtics-Knicks chapter runs through the 1970s Walt Frazier-Earl Monroe Knicks against the Cowens-Havlicek Celtics, the Patrick Ewing 1990s Knicks against the post-Bird Celtics, and the recent Jalen Brunson-Karl-Anthony Towns Knicks rebuild against the championship Tatum-Brown Celtics. The four regular-season games per season are some of the most-watched Eastern Conference broadcasts every year; the 2024–25 Eastern Conference playoff bracket put the two teams on a collision course that drove broadcast ratings.
vs Philadelphia 76ers
Celtics vs 76ers is the Atlantic Division rivalry that has carried Eastern Conference playoff implications across decades. The history runs through the 1970s Julius Erving 76ers, the 1980s Bird-Erving matchups, the post-Allen Iverson rebuild, and the current Joel Embiid-Tyrese Maxey 76ers against the championship Celtics. The two franchises have met in multiple Eastern Conference Finals and Semifinals matchups across the 2010s and 2020s. Wells Fargo Center for a Celtics visit pulls a deep Boston travel contingent thanks to the four-hour drive from Boston. The four regular-season games per season are a recurring national-broadcast pickup, especially when both teams are in the East's top four seeds.
vs Golden State Warriors
Celtics vs Warriors is the modern NBA Finals rivalry — the two teams met in the 2022 NBA Finals, with Golden State winning in six games. The Jayson Tatum-Jaylen Brown Celtics rebounded to win the 2024 championship over the Mavericks, putting both franchises at the centre of the league's championship narrative through the 2020s. Curry against Tatum is one of the best head-to-head star matchups in the league; the two regular-season games carry national-broadcast weight every season. The history goes deeper than 2022 — the two franchises met in the 1976 NBA Finals (Celtics in six games), giving the rivalry a 50-year championship history that few NBA matchups can claim.
vs Miami Heat
Celtics vs Heat is the Eastern Conference playoff rivalry that defined the 2010s and early 2020s East brackets. The two teams met in five Eastern Conference Finals or Semifinals matchups across 2010–2024, with Miami winning the 2020 and 2023 series and Boston winning the 2012, 2022, and 2024 series. Jayson Tatum against Jimmy Butler became the marquee head-to-head matchup of the post-LeBron Heat era; the 2023 Heat run to the NBA Finals as the No. 8 seed included a stunning 4–3 Eastern Conference Finals win over the Celtics that included Tatum playing through an ankle injury. Kaseya Center for a Celtics visit is one of the louder Heat home dates of every season.
vs Milwaukee Bucks
Celtics vs Bucks is the Eastern Conference rivalry that has carried Giannis Antetokounmpo's playoff bracket through the 2020s. The two teams met in the 2018, 2019, 2022 Eastern Conference Semifinals matchups, with the Bucks winning 2019 and Boston winning 2018 and 2022. The Giannis-Tatum matchup is one of the most-watched East star pairings in the league; the four regular-season games per season carry seed-line implications every year. Fiserv Forum for a Celtics visit is one of the most-watched Bucks home dates of every season.
Where to sit at TD Garden
TD Garden offers a tiered seating bowl that wraps tightly around the parquet floor, giving every level a usable sightline for Boston Celtics basketball. The Loge level forms the lower bowl and delivers the closest view of the action, with courtside and floor seats commanding the highest demand and premium pricing for marquee matchups against rivals like the Lakers, Heat, and 76ers. The Club level sits above the Loge and includes access to indoor lounges, padded seating, and shorter concourse lines, which appeals to fans who want comfort without sacrificing a reasonable angle on the court. The Balcony level is the upper deck, where the front rows of sections behind the baskets often deliver surprisingly strong views at the most accessible price tier in the building. Corner seats in the lower bowl tend to balance affordability with proximity, while sideline seats along the team benches are prized for watching coaching adjustments and player rotations. Sections behind the Celtics bench fill quickly for high-profile games, so planning ahead matters when a national television window or a banner-night opponent is on the schedule. Suite and loft inventory becomes available periodically through the secondary market and offers private restrooms, dedicated entrances, and in-suite catering for groups. Visiting fans typically cluster in the upper Balcony behind the visiting bench, though the building skews heavily toward green-and-white throughout. When evaluating seats, weigh distance from the floor against angle to the parquet, since a slightly higher row near center court often outperforms a front-row seat tucked deep into a corner for following the full flow of an NBA game.
