NBA game night at Xfinity Mobile Arena, home of the Philadelphia 76ers. For a concert here, start from the concert night plan instead: a support act sets the deadline rather than the anthem.

Ready Time
You know what you need to do. Ready Time helps you know when to start.
Start times here are the team's own. The NBA sells no national window, so a game goes on when the building and the market suit and there is nothing to convert from Eastern. These are the slots this team plays most often.
These are Xfinity Mobile Arena’s own times. The team publishes start times with the schedule in the summer and a few move again for television during the season, so take the time on your ticket over the one you remember.
Cup group games, Christmas Day, the Martin Luther King Jr. Day afternoon and a nationally televised night run their own times. Type those in on the tip-off row.
Nearly everyone arrives on Broad Street, off I-95 at the Broad Street or Sports Complex exit from either direction and off the Walt Whitman Bridge, or 76 east and then south on Broad from the Turnpike. On a weeknight the train is the honest answer: the Broad Street Line ends at NRG Station on Pattison Avenue and the arena is the first of the three buildings you reach walking in.
From the Market-Frankford Line, change to the Broad Street Line southbound in Center City. Buses 4 and 17 come down here too. A seven o’clock tip-off puts the last stretch of Broad in the evening rush, and when something at a neighbouring stadium overlaps the complex fills from the outside in.
The arena has its own ring of lettered lots in the middle of the South Philadelphia sports complex, shared with the stadiums either side when both have something on. It is self-park and cashless: cards, prepaid cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and booking through SpotHero beforehand usually beats the gate price.
You can drop passengers at any entrance before going to look for a space, and accessible parking sits beside the entrances on the east, west and south sides. Lyft has its own pick-up in Lot D at the southeast corner. A space on the 11th Street side is a few minutes from that entrance; the outer lots are a longer walk in and a longer crawl out.
Bag rules are the arena's own here and they run from a wallet-sized clutch to a bag that fits under your seat. Getting it wrong usually means walking back to the car and re-entering the line.
Check current sizes and door times on the arena’s own event calendar before you go, because the door time moves for the odd date that opens ninety minutes out instead.
Doors open an hour before tip-off, which is what the 76ers dates on the arena’s own calendar run, the same hour a Flyers night gets here. Warmups are on the floor through most of it and the introductions run right up to the tip. Screening is a walk-through metal detector on some nights and the frictionless kind on others, and with the detectors a full pocket buys you a slower search.
Bags come in three sizes: a clutch or wristlet up to 4.5 by 6.5 inches walks straight in, anything up to 14 by 14 by 6 is x-rayed at the bag doors on Broad Street, 11th Street or the Premium Access Entrance, and a backpack or a big multi-compartment bag is refused. Lockers are on the 11th Street side for those. Once your ticket is scanned there is no re-entry.
Xfinity Mobile Arena was previously called Wells Fargo Center, so older directions and tickets may still use that name.
Doors, lots and bag rules change; the official site is the live source.
Doors open about an hour before tip-off here; that is when the crowd starts arriving, not when you have to. Being through the doors about half an hour before tip-off covers screening, the walk to your section, and a stop on the concourse.
Work backward from tip-off: minutes in your seat beforehand, walk to your section, security screening, walk from the lot, parking, then the drive (30 minutes in the default plan). That puts leave-by at 5:44 PM for a 7:00 PM tip-off. Change the tip-off time and every row moves.
It is whatever the team has scheduled, and these are local times rather than a converted national window. On this arena's clock: a weekend matinee tips off at 1:00 PM, a night game at 7:00 PM, a later start at 7:30 PM. This example uses the night game window. Cup games, holiday afternoons and nationally televised nights run their own times; the tip-off row is editable for those.
The plan allows 10 minutes for a normal walk-through queue. It runs longer in the twenty minutes before tip-off. Arriving fifteen minutes off that peak is usually enough.
About an hour before tip-off here. It moves for a date the arena opens ninety minutes out instead. Check the arena’s own event calendar for your game.
Not in the lots here. If you are meeting people somewhere else, add that as a step and everything before it moves earlier.
Assume the limit is small. Check the arena's own page for current sizes. The timing risk is being turned around at the door and walking back to the car: the walk twice and a second trip through the queue.
Flying in? The airport pages. Taking Amtrak? The station pages. No stadium listed? The tailgate timeline is the same plan without a particular lot.
Start the plan in the app, and the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island show the time left, with a bar that fills as each step passes.
Glance at it on the walk in without opening the app.
Every step also gets its own alert, and sharing the plan gives whoever is driving the same leave time, with alerts on their phone.
