Ben Simmons was drafted to the Philadelphia 76ers as the No.1 pick ahead of the 2016-17 NBA season, but didn’t make his debut until 2017-18 because of injury. Here are his full fixtures for the 2018-19 season.
After picking up rookie of the year, Simmons will be looking to guide his Philadelphia 76ers beyond the Eastern Conference semi-finals, where they were knocked out by the Boston Celtics lastyear.
The NBA Schedule for the 2018-19 season was announced in August. Philadelphia received some marquee matches, including a season opener against Boston as the first match of the season broadcast nationally and a game on Christmas Day (Boxing Day in Australia) against the same team.
The national broadcast schedule was also announced. All games on ESPN in the USA will be shown in Australia, however extra games will also be picked up. These will be confirmed closer to the start of the season and this page will be updated when they are.
At this stage, no games have been announced on Australian TV apart from those already covered by ESPN in the USA.
It should be remembered all 82 games will also be available on the league pass, whether they are being shown on TV or not.
The first confirmed match on ESPN in Australia will be against Matthew Dellavedova and Thon Maker’s Milwaukee Bucks.
Here is their full schedule for the season. Note that all dates appear as Australian and times are listed in AEDT until Sunday, April 2 when they revert to AEST.

The 76ers, have endured a torrid past few seasons.
The 76ers haven’t made the playoffs since 2012, having traded away their best players under general manager Sam Hinkie, who was seeking to initiate a quick rebuild through the draft. However, despite winning a combined total of 75 games in the past three seasons (from 328 total matches), it wasn’t until Simmons was drafted that they were able to get their hands on a No.1 pick.
The 76ers GM, Bryan Colangelo, is intent on arresting Philadelphia’s downward spiral. As such, there’s plenty of expectation on the Melbourne-born forward.
Unfortunately for both Philadelphia and Simmons, the Aussie forward suffered a major injury setback, breaking his foot during a pre-season training session and missing what was supposed to be his rookie season.
There is an option available to have access to all 82 Philadelphia games this season; the NBA’s live streaming service, NBA League Pass. There are three different services available but, in short, a monthly subscription fee of $37.99 will allow you to watch every match in high definition.
If that’s a bit too steep for your taste, you can opt for the budget NBA TV package, which gives you up to ten games a week for $11.99 per month, while there is also a premium league pass option which comes in at $44.99 a month. For more info, head over to our NBA live streaming and TV guide page.
