Philadelphia 76ers First Round Playoff Schedule 2023 (Times, Dates and TV Channel for Nets Series)

Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers are back in the NBA Playoffs for the sixth consecutive year. They're looking to win their first NBA championship in 40 years, but they'll need to survive their opening-round matchup with the Brooklyn Nets first.

Here's everything you need to know about the 76ers-Nets first round series.

What Seed Are the 76ers in the 2023 NBA Playoffs?

The 76ers ended the 2022-23 regular season with a 54-28 record, which was good enough to finish No. 3 in the Eastern Conference. As is tradition, the 3-seed faces the 6-seed in the first round of the playoffs. The Nets concluded the campaign as the No. 6 team in the East after posting a 45-37 record.

Who Are the 76ers Playing in the 2023 Playoffs?

As the 3-seed, the 76ers play the 6-seed Nets in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. This will be a typical best-of-seven series that follows the 2-2-1-1-1 format. That means the better seed (Philadelphia) will host Games 1 and 2, plus Games 5 and 7 if those are necessary. The worse seed (Brooklyn) hosts Games 3 and 4, plus Game 6 if that is necessary.

Looking ahead, if the 76ers win this series and advance, they would face either the 2-seed Boston Celtics or the to-be-determined 7-seed in the Eastern Conference semifinals, as the NBA playoff matchups do not re-seed in each round.
