Celtics Set Four-Game Preseason That Includes Jaylen Brown’s First Scheduled Return to TD Garden

Overview

  • The Boston Celtics announced their 2026-27 four-game preseason schedule on Monday with games Oct. 8 at Cleveland, Oct. 10 vs. Philadelphia, Oct. 14 vs. Charlotte, and Oct. 16 at Philadelphia.
  • All four preseason games will be shown on NBC Sports Boston and tickets for the two TD Garden exhibitions go on sale July 22 at 1 p.m. ET through Celtics.com/preseasontix.
  • Oct. 10 at TD Garden is the first scheduled opportunity for Jaylen Brown to return to Boston after his offseason trade to the Philadelphia 76ers, though teams commonly limit veteran minutes in early preseason games so he may not play.
  • Other clubs released preseason plans at the same time, including the Golden State Warriors opening their home slate Oct. 6 against the Los Angeles Lakers and the Lakers posting a five-game preseason that begins Oct. 5 in Sacramento.
  • Brown spent nine seasons with the Celtics and was a central figure in the franchise’s recent run of success, and these preseason meetings set early viewing and ticketing touchpoints before multiple regular-season rematches between the division rivals.
