Every year on Christmas Day, the NBA brings together 10 of the league’s marquee teams for an action-packed slate of games.
2023 is no different.
This season will mark the 76th edition of the NBA on Christmas Day, with the first Christmas games taking place back in 1947.
Headlined by the game’s brightest stars, this year’s slate features five nationally televised games on the holiday that should bring plenty of excitement.

Who is playing on Christmas Day in 2023?
There has been no official announcement from the NBA, but The Athletic’s Shams Charania reports the following teams will be taking the court on Christmas Day.
Bucks at Knicks
76ers at Heat
Celtics at Lakers
Mavericks at Suns
Warriors at Nuggets
Based on the initial report, there will be no shortage of star power this Christmas.
The slate includes nine of the 10 teams that played on Christmas Day in 2022, with the Memphis Grizzlies replaced by the Miami Heat, fresh off their appearance in the NBA Finals.
The slate looks set to tip off with an Eastern Conference matchup between the Milwaukee Bucks and the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, while Jimmy Butler and the Heat will square off against his former team, the Philadelphia 76ers.
Longtime rivals, the Lakers and Celtics, who are tied for the most championships in NBA history with 17, headline the festivities, with LeBron James locked in to extend his record for the most appearances on Christmas Day, with 2023 set to his 18th.
