Philadelphia 76ers at Los Angeles Lakers
Friday, December 25, 2026, 2:00 PM PT - the third game of the NBA's Christmas Day slate sends the Philadelphia 76ers to Crypto.com Arena to face the Los Angeles Lakers, live on ABC and ESPN. Christmas Day is the NBA's showcase afternoon, and the league gave this matchup the prime 5:00 PM ET window for a reason.
The storyline writes itself: LeBron James returns to Los Angeles in a 76ers uniform to play his former team for the first time. He has already played an NBA-record 20 Christmas Day games, and this one takes place in the arena he called home for eight seasons. On the other side, the Lakers carry the home crowd and their own holiday tradition - the franchise has been a Christmas fixture for decades.
Tickets for a Christmas Day game at Crypto.com Arena are among the hardest to find of the entire regular season, and the LeBron return has pushed demand higher still: the cheapest seats on the secondary market were already tracking around $375 shortly after the schedule was announced. Seatoria lists resale tickets across the Lower Level (100s), Premier Level (200s) and Upper Level (300s) - pick your section on the seating chart, all tickets in one order are seated together.
