What to watch, Oct 13–20 This note is the map for the week. The links below are the sources. Times are US Eastern. The TV channels named here are the US broadcasts; other countries use different ones. Checked against NBA.com on Oct 13, 2026: The regular season has not started. Rosters lock on Monday, Oct 19, at 5 p.m. ET. Opening night is Tuesday, Oct 20, on NBC and Peacock: - Boston Celtics at Detroit Pistons, 3 p.m. ET - Philadelphia 76ers at New York Knicks, 7 p.m. ET - Oklahoma City Thunder at San Antonio Spurs, 9:30 p.m. ET The Knicks raise their first championship banner since 1973 before the 7 p.m. game. That game is also the regular-season debut of LeBron James and Jaylen Brown in Philadelphia. One more game if the week allows it: Wednesday, Oct 21, Minnesota at Miami, 7:30 p.m. ET. That is Giannis Antetokounmpo's first regular-season game with the Heat. Editor's pick, not a fact: if you watch one game, watch the 76ers at the Knicks. The banner and the new Philadelphia lineup are the reason. This note gets rewritten after opening night, when the week changes. The share link stays the same.
