Information checked: Friday, November 6, 2026, at 8:07 PM in Cleveland, Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC−05:00); equivalent to November 7, 2026, at 01:07 UTC. This is the time the official schedule, viewing information, and available team report were checked, not the game's start time or the article publication time.
Philadelphia 76ers at Cleveland Cavaliers is on the NBA's Friday, November 6, 2026, schedule for 7:30 p.m. EST at Rocket Arena in Cleveland, Ohio. The nationally listed stream is Prime Video, with NBC Sports Philadelphia also listed by the 76ers for viewers in its regional TV market. The NBA Cup East Group B matchup brings a second meeting of the season between the clubs and a consequential opportunity to build an early group-stage record. The scheduled start time has already passed as of this information check; for the current score or whether play is underway, use the linked official NBA game center rather than an unverified live result.
The game is part of the Emirates NBA Cup rather than a standalone exhibition. Philadelphia arrived at the matchup with an 8–1 overall record and a 1–0 Cup record, according to its game-day preview, while Cleveland entered at 4–4 and was due to play its first Cup group game. Those are pregame records, not updated results from this matchup.
The NBA and both teams list the matchup for Friday, November 6, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. EST at Rocket Arena in Cleveland. Eastern Daylight Time ended on November 1, so the correct designation on November 6 is Eastern Standard Time, UTC−05:00. The date becomes Saturday, November 7, at 00:30 UTC; the game is not a Saturday-night fixture in Cleveland.
| Time zone or location | Scheduled game time |
|---|---|
| Cleveland / Philadelphia — EST (UTC−05:00) | Friday, Nov. 6, 7:30 p.m. |
| Chicago — CST (UTC−06:00) | Friday, Nov. 6, 6:30 p.m. |
| Denver — MST (UTC−07:00) | Friday, Nov. 6, 5:30 p.m. |
| Los Angeles — PST (UTC−08:00) | Friday, Nov. 6, 4:30 p.m. |
| Coordinated Universal Time — UTC | Saturday, Nov. 7, 12:30 a.m. |
These are the announced game times, not a guarantee that the opening tip or every on-court sequence occurs at the exact listed minute. The NBA game center is the direct place to check score, game status, official starters, and statistics once posted.
Yes. NBA Communications and Amazon's published NBA schedule both list Philadelphia at Cleveland as a Prime Video game at 7:30 p.m. EST on November 6. In the United States, open the Prime Video app or website, sign in to an eligible account, go to Sports or search for “76ers Cavaliers,” and select the live NBA game. The app works on supported smart TVs, streaming devices, mobile phones, tablets, consoles, and web browsers. Check subscription eligibility and regional availability in the app before attempting to watch.
See the Amazon November live-sports schedule and the NBA Cup national broadcast schedule. A separate NBA League Pass subscription should not be assumed to provide a live national Prime Video telecast, because national rights and local blackout rules can restrict live League Pass access.
The Philadelphia 76ers' official game-day guide lists NBC Sports Philadelphia alongside Prime Video. That gives viewers in the channel's eligible regional market another listed option, subject to their provider and service rights. Outside the Philadelphia TV market, do not assume the regional channel is available just because the game appears on a team schedule. Prime Video is the confirmed nationwide viewing route.
The 76ers list 97.5 The Fanatic and the 76ers mobile app as radio/audio options. Local reception, app availability, and any listening restrictions may depend on where you are. If you cannot open the video broadcast, the official Sixers game guide is a practical reference for the team's published audio options.
This is a 2026 Emirates NBA Cup East Group B contest, a group that also includes the New York Knicks, Miami Heat, and Indiana Pacers. Group Play games count toward regular-season records, but their Cup results also determine who can advance to the knockout stage. Each club plays its four group rivals once; the group winner secures a quarterfinal berth, and a conference wild-card place is also available based on the tournament's rules.
The Sixers' preview put Philadelphia at 1–0 in Cup play before this contest, following a win over New York. Cleveland had not yet played a Cup game. A win would therefore have a different immediate effect on each team's Cup résumé: Philadelphia could strengthen a positive start, while Cleveland could open its group campaign with a victory. Neither possibility should be confused with a verified result. Point differential can become relevant in Cup tiebreakers, so the final margin may matter beyond a simple win or loss.
According to the NBA Cup calendar, Group Play runs through November 27, the quarterfinals are slated for December 4–5, and the championship is scheduled for December 11. See the NBA's explanation of the NBA Cup format for the precise advancement and tiebreaking rules.
Philadelphia's official November 6 preview reported an 8–1 start to the 2026–27 regular season, including a 4–0 road record. Cleveland entered at 4–4, according to contemporaneous game-day listings. Those records help explain the matchup's stakes but should be read as snapshots before Friday's game, not live standings.
These teams had already met in Philadelphia on October 22. The Sixers won 114–106 after overcoming a 29-point deficit, with Tyrese Maxey and Donovan Mitchell each scoring 32 points. The Sixers described it as a franchise-record comeback in the play-by-play era. That result provides context for a rematch, not evidence that the same pattern will repeat. The NBA's Cup preview also highlighted LeBron James returning to Cleveland as a Philadelphia player as a notable storyline.
For tonight's game, Cleveland's ability to respond to Philadelphia's perimeter scoring and Philadelphia's handling of the Cavaliers' interior size are reasonable areas to watch. Those are matchup considerations rather than confirmed tactical choices or predictions. A final score and verified player stat lines should be taken from the league's live game page.
The Sixers' November 6 official game-day preview listed the following availability statuses. These were pregame designations; they can change before or during the game and are not a substitute for confirmed active rosters.
| Team | Player | Pregame status and reported reason |
|---|---|---|
| 76ers | Adem Bona | Doubtful — cervical spine sprain |
| 76ers | Dominick Barlow | Out — low back stress reaction |
| 76ers | Ariel Hukporti | Out — right Achilles tendon injury |
| Cavaliers | Jarrett Allen | Questionable — right knee contusion |
| Cavaliers | Tyrese Proctor | Questionable — left ankle sprain |
| Cavaliers | Peyton Watson | Questionable — right hamstring injury management |
| Cavaliers | Nae’Qwan Tomlin | Out — low back stress reaction |
| Cavaliers | Jaylon Tyson | Out — right ankle sprain |
Jarrett Allen's questionable designation is especially relevant to Cleveland's frontcourt rotation, but questionable does not mean ruled out. The confirmed starters and availability for this specific game must come from the final team announcement or NBA game center. No last-minute change is claimed here without that confirmation.
To follow the live game, visit the official NBA 76ers–Cavaliers game page for its status, scoreboard, box score, and highlights if posted. It is preferable to interpreting a stale preview as a live score report. If the Prime Video livestream has ended when you open the app, check that game's listing for any on-demand replay options available to your account; availability is controlled by the broadcaster and may vary.
After this matchup, Philadelphia's published schedule places the 76ers at Chicago on Sunday, November 8, while Cleveland's schedule shows the Cavaliers hosting the New York Knicks on Saturday, November 7. Those next fixtures make rest and rotation relevant, but no player decision can be inferred from the schedule alone.
The official scheduled start is 7:30 p.m. in Cleveland, EST (UTC−05:00), on Friday, November 6. That is 4:30 p.m. PST in Los Angeles and 12:30 a.m. UTC on Saturday, November 7.
Prime Video is the announced national U.S. stream. The 76ers also list NBC Sports Philadelphia for eligible regional viewers.
Yes. It is a 2026 Emirates NBA Cup East Group B matchup that also counts toward the teams' NBA regular-season records. For the game status and result, use the official NBA game center.
