Where to Watch Knicks vs. 76ers on Oct. 30: Prime Video, Start Time and Replay

Viewing guide for U.S. fans, verified October 30, 2026: The New York Knicks visit the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday, October 30, in the Emirates NBA Cup group stage. The NBA lists the game for 7:30 p.m. in Philadelphia, Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, UTC−04:00), at Xfinity Mobile Arena. The national U.S. viewing destination is Prime Video, not a conventional ESPN, ABC, or NBC telecast. That scheduled game time corresponds to 23:30 UTC on October 30. See the official NBA game center and Amazon's October NBA listing.

Knicks vs. 76ers: channel, streaming service, and game time

The Knicks' official event page confirms the date, venue, and 7:30 p.m. EDT listing. Amazon independently places the Knicks–76ers game on its October 30 NBA on Prime schedule. A provider's live-event page may open before tipoff for pregame programming; do not confuse an earlier stream start with the NBA's scheduled game time.

How to stream the Knicks–76ers game on Prime Video

1. Open the Knicks vs. 76ers event page on Prime Video, or launch the Prime Video app on a compatible device.
2. Sign in with an account that has access to Prime Video's U.S. NBA live coverage. Review the account's eligibility and any subscription or trial terms before paying.
3. Search for “Knicks vs. 76ers,” or look under Sports or Live & Upcoming. Choose the October 30 game at Xfinity Mobile Arena rather than another matchup or a highlight clip.
4. Select the live national game feed when available. The official scheduled tipoff is 7:30 p.m. EDT (UTC−04:00); opening the event ahead of time helps you check that it loads correctly.

Amazon's NBA on Prime viewing instructions describe access through the Prime Video website and app on supported smart TVs, phones, tablets, streaming devices, and game consoles. You do not need to purchase NBA League Pass merely to access a national Prime Video game when your eligible Prime Video entitlement already includes the event. Availability and subscription terms should still be confirmed on the service's sign-in or checkout screen.

Can you watch on a television without a cable subscription?

Yes, with eligible Prime Video access and a compatible internet-connected device. On a smart TV or streaming box, install or open Prime Video, sign in, and locate the live NBA event. A computer can also use the Prime Video website. A standard cable package by itself is not proof that the subscriber has access to this particular Prime Video stream. Conversely, a household that already has eligible Prime Video access need not add a cable-TV tier just for this game.

Start time across the United States

The venue is in Pennsylvania, which observed daylight saving time on October 30, 2026. Philadelphia's offset that evening was EDT (UTC−04:00), not the Eastern Standard Time offset that takes effect after the November daylight-saving change. The following times all refer to the same scheduled October 30 tipoff:

The game is a Friday evening event for the American audience, even though an international viewer in a time zone east of Greenwich may see it on Saturday, October 31. Treat 23:30 UTC as the time conversion, not as the article publication time or the start of Amazon's pregame coverage.

A hypothetical example: getting the right feed from Chicago

Illustrative scenario, not a real viewer account or a tested stream: Imagine a Knicks fan in Chicago named Maya. She sees a social media post saying “Knicks vs. Sixers, 7:30 tonight” and assumes that means 7:30 p.m. in Chicago. Before leaving home, she checks the NBA game page. It identifies Philadelphia as the host city and lists 7:30 p.m. Eastern. She converts that to 6:30 p.m. Chicago Central Daylight Time (CDT, UTC−05:00).

Maya then checks her existing services. Her household has a cable package with sports channels, but the NBA's October 30 listing identifies Prime Video as the national broadcaster. Instead of searching ESPN indefinitely or purchasing an NBA League Pass subscription that would be blacked out live, she opens Prime Video, signs in, and finds the specific Knicks–76ers event. If her account is not eligible, she checks the displayed subscription conditions before proceeding. This example demonstrates the decisions a viewer can make from the verified schedule; it does not assert that a particular account streamed successfully or that a free trial is guaranteed.

Will NBA League Pass show the game live or on replay?

Live in the United States: no, not through League Pass. The NBA's official blackout guide, updated October 6, 2026, says nationally broadcast games on Amazon Prime Video are unavailable live on U.S. League Pass. This rule is distinct from the separate blackout restrictions for locally televised games. It can apply even if a fan subscribes to League Pass and lives far from both Philadelphia and New York.

Replay in the United States: For nationally distributed games, the NBA lists the League Pass replay as available at 6:00 a.m. Eastern the next day. For this Friday game, that means Saturday, October 31, 2026, at 6:00 a.m. EDT (UTC−04:00), or 10:00 UTC, subject to the game appearing in the subscriber's account as the NBA describes. The NBA also maintains a League Pass subscription guide explaining on-demand and device access. If you missed the live stream, check the official game center and League Pass library rather than assuming a Prime Video replay will remain available for a specified period; this article has not independently verified that period.

Why some guides say NBC or Peacock instead

The Knicks and 76ers also met on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, at Madison Square Garden in New York. That separate season-opening game was scheduled for 7:00 p.m. New York EDT (UTC−04:00) on NBC and Peacock, according to the NBA's official 2026–27 schedule release. It was a different date, host city, venue, and media assignment.

For the October 30 NBA Cup meeting in Philadelphia, the official schedule and Amazon's own program listing both direct U.S. viewers to Prime Video. Don't use a TV listing from the October 20 game to choose an app for October 30. Similarly, a general guide to NBA games on Peacock, ESPN, or ABC cannot override the game-specific national rights assignment.

What to check if the game does not appear

• Confirm the date and matchup. Look for the Friday, October 30 Knicks at 76ers NBA Cup game, not the October 20 76ers at Knicks contest.
• Confirm your location and access. Prime Video may display a region, entitlement, or sign-in restriction. Rights and eligibility are determined by the service, not simply by a team's home market.
• Try the official game page. The NBA game center identifies the designated broadcaster and provides viewing navigation.
• Update the app or switch devices. If the event is listed but playback fails, confirm your connection and use a supported browser or up-to-date Prime Video app. Do not treat an unexplained error as proof that the game moved to a different network.
• If watching later, check blackout timing. Nationally televised games have a defined U.S. League Pass replay window; the live broadcast and the later replay are different access options.

Bottom line: for the Friday, October 30, 2026 NBA Cup game, start with Prime Video. The NBA schedules the Knicks at 76ers for 7:30 p.m. Philadelphia EDT (UTC−04:00), 23:30 UTC, at Xfinity Mobile Arena. That is the official game-specific answer for U.S. fans; subscription eligibility, stream availability, and any subsequent replay should be checked directly with the relevant provider.
