The Philadelphia 76ers are headed to the 2025-2026 postseason.
The 76ers clinched a Play-In Tournament berth, despite dealing with key injuries throughout the season. Philadelphia missed the postseason a year ago, which ended a streak of seven consecutive playoff berths. Even though the 76ers know they will have extra basketball to play, reaching the actual playoffs will still be a challenge.
After some tiebreaker scenarios, the 76ers find themselves in the Play-In Tournament.
Here is an updated look at the 76ers' playoff scenarios and schedule for the 2026 NBA playoff bracket.
