Two games.
One incredible
weekend.
Bring your colors. Bring your appetite.
There’s a whole lot of Philly between games.

Basketball + football: the trip plan
Saturday afternoon at the arena, Sunday football at the Linc. Keep one hotel and plan two separate venue arrivals.
Arrive & settle in
Choose one hotel for both events. Save Saturday’s arena trip and Sunday’s Linc trip separately.
Basketball, then city time
Bucks at 76ers, 1 PM. Give security and your ticketed entrance their own margin; enjoy a city dinner afterward if the day allows.
Football takes the stage
Steelers at Eagles, 4:25 PM. Check the Linc’s bag and parking rules; an arena parking purchase does not establish a second venue’s parking rights.
A calmer departure
Compare a Monday departure with a late Sunday journey before booking. Keep hotel checkout, luggage and the game’s uncertain finish in the plan.
Make your Philadelphia base
Check in with time for the arena approach. Keep the next day’s football gear at the hotel if it does not meet arena policy.
Flyers hockey
Red Wings at Flyers, 7 PM. Plan dinner and the return around your actual event instructions.
Eagles football
Seahawks at Eagles, 5 PM. Recheck the football ticket, gate, entry rules and the separate parking or SEPTA plan.
Stay for a city morning
Leave room for breakfast or an official-source museum visit if departure timing allows. Recheck winter weather and operating hours.
Wednesday
Arrive, settle in, then enjoy 76ers vs Heat.
Thursday
Thanksgiving: confirm which restaurants and attractions are open.
Friday
Return to the arena for Flyers vs Canucks.
Departure
Allow time for hotel checkout and your trip home.
Thursday
Check in and attend 76ers vs Raptors.
Friday
Visit Reading Terminal Market during operating hours.
Saturday
Explore Center City and consider a reservation-led dinner.
Sunday
Return to the arena for Flyers vs Oilers.
Keep the hotel.
Change the game.
One arena roar. One football afternoon.
And a whole city in between.
Football next.
Separate days. One home base.
Bring the noise.
Make the arena the first chapter. Save your NRG-to-hotel return before the game.

Travel details: the return, next-day arrival & accessibility
Back to your base.
For a Center City stay, follow the arena’s current approach directions to NRG, take the B / Broad Street Line northbound, then complete your saved station-to-hotel leg. Recheck service after the actual finish. A Navy Yard stay needs its own confirmed hotel return; do not assume a weekend shuttle.
Start a new arrival.
From Center City, take the B Line southbound to NRG, then follow the Linc’s current directions to the entrance on your football ticket. Check the event’s gate-opening guidance, bags and security before choosing your departure. The two tickets do not share parking rights.
Save each final leg.
Book and save each venue’s own parking offer, entrance and return separately. For an accessible journey, verify both station access and both venues’ entrances. Add room for queues and screening; these separate-day trips have no timed arena-to-Linc transfer.
Travel framework checked October 27, 2026: arena directions · Linc maps and public transportation · NRG Station and service checks. Set each day’s departure from the current operator trip plan and your event’s entry instructions; no fixed journey time or guaranteed buffer is claimed.
Check these dates before booking
Schedules verified October 27, 2026 against Bucks–76ers, Red Wings–Flyers and the Eagles schedule. Recheck dates, start times, venue and each ticket before booking; NFL times can change. These are separate-day candidates, not ticket packages.

Considering two events on one day? Shared district or shared arena: neither guarantees a workable transition.
Are both dates and times confirmed?
Verify official schedules and tickets separately.
Does the arena support the changeover?
Check the first event ending, venue reset, crowd exit, doors and entry conditions.
Can you return to your hotel?
Verify SEPTA B Line service toward NRG and your postgame return.
The possible Nov 15 same-day pairing is not accepted as feasible without arena confirmation.
