2026–27 Philadelphia 76ers season
The 2026–27 Philadelphia 76ers season will mark the franchise's 78th in the NBA, featuring a major front-office overhaul and blockbuster player acquisitions. On May 12, 2026, the team fired president of basketball operations Daryl Morey, appointing Bob Myers as interim. In the offseason, they traded for Jaylen Brown from the Boston Celtics and signed free agent LeBron James to a 2-year, $8 million contract, setting the stage for his league-record 24th season. Regarding the draft, the 76ers obtained a first-round pick originally belonging to the Houston Rockets via a February 2026 trade with Oklahoma City (involving Jared McCain), which became the second-most favorable selection. Their own original first-round pick, traded to Oklahoma City years earlier in the Al Horford and George Hill deals, was ultimately conveyed after falling outside the top 4, having been deferred from 2025 when it landed in the top 6 and was used to select V. J. Edgecombe 3rd overall. Additionally, their original second-round selection was rerouted to the Phoenix Suns as the second-most favorable pick among several teams' selections.
