This past year was an emotional roller coaster for Philadelphia 76ers fans, from enduring a 24-win season to watching the team land a top-three pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
Still, the fandom’s loyalty and passion didn’t waver the way it might have with lesser fan bases. Sixers fans don’t like the pain and misery this franchise has put us through, but we don’t let it dilute our passion. Fans get vocal because they care, and that loyalty has been formally recognized.
FanSided has chosen Philadelphia as 2025’s top fanbase as part of its annual “Fandoms of the Year” initiative, which honors fan culture and unites the community.
