What channel is the 76ers vs. Bulls game on?

NBC Sports Philadelphia is the confirmed 76ers television outlet in the team’s game preview. If you are in its coverage area, check your TV provider’s channel guide and package before the game. A subscription that carries a channel in one location does not necessarily carry it in another.

For Chicago-area fans, the Bulls identify Chicago Sports Network, or CHSN, as the home of their television broadcasts. The team says CHSN is available through several platforms, including its website and app, participating TV providers and over-the-air service in select markets. Check CHSN’s current schedule and your address for this specific game before signing up or relying on an antenna.

Can you stream 76ers vs. Bulls without cable?

Streaming depends on where you are watching and which rights your service carries. In the Philadelphia market, look for a streaming package that includes NBC Sports Philadelphia and confirm that your subscription and location allow you to watch the game. In the Chicago market, check CHSN’s app or website and its local availability. A paid subscription or provider login may be required.

For fans outside the teams’ local markets, NBA League Pass is an option to check. Open the game listing and verify availability at your viewing location before purchasing. The NBA’s blackout guide says local team games and nationally broadcast games are subject to live League Pass blackouts in the United States. Location is determined using the device’s IP address or location services, so access can differ when traveling.

In practical terms, a League Pass subscription alone does not guarantee live video in Philadelphia or Chicago. Start with your regional broadcaster if you are in either team’s market, and check the game listing if you are elsewhere. Prices, packages and rights can change; confirm the current terms with the provider.

How can you follow the score or listen live?

The official NBA game page is the most direct place to follow the matchup as it happens. Check the live score and box score for the quarter, individual scoring and team statistics. After the game, the same page can help you find the final result and game recap when available.

Philadelphia’s preview lists 97.5 The Fanatic and the 76ers mobile app for its radio broadcast. For another audio option, the NBA says its paid League Pass Audio service is available in the United States and is not subject to live game audio blackouts. It does not include live video.

What should fans know before tipoff?

Philadelphia entered the matchup 8–2 and Chicago 1–7, according to the 76ers’ preview. The teams met on November 2 in Philadelphia, where the 76ers won 126–107. Philadelphia recorded 36 assists in that game, a useful number to watch if the Bulls try to limit the ball movement that helped produce the earlier result.

The 76ers were coming off a 119–95 loss at Cleveland, while Chicago last played in a 135–105 loss at New York. Those results provide context, but neither determines Sunday’s outcome. Chicago has had several days between games; whether that rest translates into an advantage will be decided on the court.

In the morning preview, Philadelphia listed Joel Embiid as probable and Chicago listed Nic Claxton and Tobe Awaka as questionable. Those were pregame designations, not guarantees that any player would appear or sit out. Check the teams’ latest reports and the NBA game page for changes and confirmed lineups closer to tipoff.
