For the first time since Feb. 22, Joel Embiid is taking the court in an NBA game. The Sixers‘ star center is officially active tonight as the Minnesota Timberwolves come to Philadelphia. This will mark the first preseason game Embiid has played in since 2023. Embiid is continuing to recover from a torn meniscus that he suffered in January of 2024.

It’s been a long time coming, but on the morning of Friday, Oct. 17, it became official. Former Golden State Warriors executive Bob Myers is joining the primary ownership group of the Philadelphia 76ers, Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment. Along with the Sixers, Harris-Blitzer owns and operates the Washington Commanders of the NFL, the New Jersey Devils of the NHL, Crystal Palace FC of the Premier League, and a stake in Joe Gibbs Racing (NASCAR).

Posted on After winning their home opener against the Florida Panthers on Monday night, the Philadelphia Flyers (1-2-1) hosted last season’s Presidents’ Trophy winners, the Winnipeg Jets (3-1-0), at Xfinity Mobile Arena on Thursday. The Flyers faced the Jets twice last season, finishing with a 1-1 record. Before Thursday’s game, defenseman Cam York was activated off the injured reserve, and Emil Andrae was sent down to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.

Following a year in which the Philadelphia Eagles looked truly unbeatable by the finish, the team has struggled mightily to rekindle that same success this season. Two straight embarrassing losses, and the team looks like a shell of the historic unit they were in 2024. While the Eagles were able to re-secure some talent, Zack Baun notably leads that list; many more were lost to free agency, trades, or even retirement. Among the latter category is Brandon Graham.

PHILADELPHIA— “It hurts to the core.” Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson commented on the end of the 2025 season during the club’s annual postseason press conference. Both Thomson and President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski spoke for nearly an hour and a half regarding the past season and the team’s future. There will not be a chance at the top as the Phillies will move forward with Thomson in 2026.

PHILADELPHIA, PA (October 15th, 2025) – On Wednesday morning, with just under 8 months until the World’s biggest sporting event kicks off in the city of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia Soccer 2026 and the City of Philadelphia celebrated the grand opening of the FIFA World Cup 26™ Volunteer Center at Fashion District Philadelphia, the first real tangible sign of the tournament’s presence within the city.

The Eagles head north for a business trip to Minnesota, back to U.S. Bank Stadium, where they won their first Super Bowl eight seasons ago. Their dome doesn’t hold weather concerns, but it brings noise that affects the Eagles’ timing and execution under pressure, a significant issue in the last few weeks. The Birds will need to stay composed and have a balanced attack, offensively, to fly home with a win. Who: Eagles vs. Vikings When: Sun, Oct.

PHILADELPHIA— For the second straight season, Bryce Harper has been named a finalist for the National League Gold Glove award. The Phillies’ first baseman has played the position for just two and a half seasons after transitioning from the outfield in 2023. Harper learned to play first base in an effort to fill a hole left by the injured Rhys Hoskins that season. It was also a strategic move on his end, moving to a position that demanded less of the veteran physically.

The Sixers made another preseason addition Tuesday evening as the team announced the signing of former first-round pick MarJon Beauchamp. The defensive-minded wing was waived by the Portland Trail Blazers last week. Over the course of his young, three-year career, Beauchamp has averaged 4.1 points on 43.0 percent shooting, along with 1.9 rebounds in 10.9 minutes per game across 135 career games (12 starts).

Posted on While earning a point from their opening road trip might’ve helped settle the Philadelphia Flyers into the new season, a huge 5-2 win over the ever-impressive Florida Panthers would have done more than excite the fans at Xfinity Mobile Arena. On a night where the team honored the late Bernie Parent, who recently passed away and revealed Bernie’s iconic jersey number painted behind the nets and embroided on each players’ jersey, the Flyers played with a renewed energy under Rick Tocchet.
