Club Overview

The Philadelphia 76ers trace their roots to the Syracuse Nationals, founded in 1939, and took their current name when the franchise moved to Philadelphia in 1963. The name honors the 1776 signing of the Declaration of Independence. The club has won three championships in all — in Syracuse in 1955, in 1967 with Wilt Chamberlain, and in 1983 led by Julius Erving and Moses Malone.

The Philadelphia 76ers are an NBA Eastern Conference (Atlantic Division) team based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Their home, Xfinity Mobile Arena, holds 20,478 fans, with team colors (blue and red) reflecting 1776 and Philadelphia’s founding history.

Cheer Culture

The Liberty Bell ceremony is a real, verifiable tradition — the team bought a roughly 350-lb ceremonial bell in 2013, stations it by the player tunnel, and players touch it before games; after a win, a coach-selected player rings it.

💡 Insider Tips

🚌 Getting Around

The arena was renamed Xfinity Mobile Arena in September 2025 (formerly Wells Fargo Center). It’s a 6-minute walk from NRG station, the southern terminus of SEPTA’s Broad Street subway line.

🏨 Lodging

The sports complex sits apart from downtown, so genuinely walkable hotels are limited — mainly Courtyard Philadelphia South at The Navy Yard. Staying in Center City and taking the subway is recommended instead.

🎟️ Tickets

Ticketmaster handles primary sales, with StubHub as the official resale partner since 2012. The team is on a 6-year streak of selling out every home game.

🗺️ City Pass Bundling

The Philadelphia CityPASS doesn’t include game tickets, but Citizens Bank Park (Phillies) and Lincoln Financial Field (Eagles) sit right alongside in the same sports complex district, letting you combine multiple stadiums into one walkable area.

💡 Insider Tips

Backpacks and large bags are banned entirely — only small wallets or clutches under 4.5×6.5 inches are allowed. The “Tunnel Club” lets you watch players enter and exit through a glass tunnel.
