The 2025–26 Philadelphia 76ers season was the 77th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). With their win against the Milwaukee Bucks on January 27, the 76ers improved on their 24–58 record from their previous season.
On April 12, the 76ers qualified for the play-in tournament and finished the regular season with a 45–37 record, the same as the Orlando Magic. Philadelphia secured the 7th seed in the Eastern Conference as they held the tiebreaker over Orlando through a 2–1 season series win. On April 15, they clinched a playoff spot after defeating Orlando in the first stage of the play-in, returning to the playoffs after a one-year absence. They faced the Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs, defeating Boston in seven games after successfully coming back from a 3–1 series deficit for the first time in franchise history and securing their first series win against their archrivals since 1982. However, they were swept by the eventual NBA champion New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference semifinals. This was the first time in NBA history that a team came back from down 3–1 and then proceeded to get swept in the same postseason.
