76ers Blue Week - Stateside Fan Fest

The Philadelphia 76ers are taking over Stateside Live! on Tuesday, October 20, for a fan fest that's part of Blue Week, the team's pre-season celebration running from October 13 to 21. It's one of the bigger stops in a week that's all about the lead-up to the home opener, and the timing is a bit specific: the team is visiting the New York Knicks around the same time.

Inside, there's live entertainment, giveaways, and partner activations, with appearances by 76ers ENT. 97.5 The Fanatic will be broadcasting live from the venue, and artist Rob Nero will be live-painting T-shirts while supplies last. If you're into the art side of things, Nero's work is a recurring theme throughout Blue Week, which also includes a T-shirt giveaway bus tour, a Dunkin' pep rally, and a surprise drop of free tickets to the home opener. On opening night, the team plans to 'Light the Town Blue' by turning Philadelphia's landmarks blue.

There's a lot of weight behind this particular season. The 2026-27 Sixers are entering as title contenders after an offseason led by new president of basketball operations Mike Gansey, who traded for Jaylen Brown and signed LeBron James to a two-year, $8 million contract. The roster now pairs former league MVP Joel Embiid and two-time All-Star Tyrese Maxey with five-time All-Star Brown, 22-time All-Star James, and rising star VJ Edgecombe.

Doors open at 6 PM, and the game tips off at 7 PM. Admission is free, though an RSVP is encouraged.
