2025-26 NBA Broadcast Schedule and Viewing Options: NBC, Peacock, Prime Video, and ESPN

The NBA season is about to start with exciting games lined up, like the defending champions, the Oklahoma City Thunder, taking on the Houston Rockets. Plus, we’ll get to see LeBron James and Luka Dončić on the court together for the Los Angeles Lakers facing off against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night.

But, aside from the thrilling games, there’s more to look forward to this season with new TV partners for the NBA. After a long 22-year hiatus, NBC is making a return as a broadcaster, and Prime Video will also be streaming NBA games. This means that starting in January, you can catch nationally televised games every day of the week.

Here’s a breakdown of what each TV partner has in store for NBA coverage throughout the week:

– NBC and Peacock: You can catch games on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. NBC kicks off its coverage with the Rockets vs. Thunder on Oct. 21, followed by the Lakers vs. Warriors. Every Tuesday, tune in for “Coast 2 Coast Tuesday” until April 7. Additionally, NBC will feature a special NBA Cup doubleheader on Nov. 25, showcasing the 76ers vs. Magic and the Clippers vs. Lakers. Peacock will have its own Monday night lineup starting on Oct. 27 with the Pistons vs. Cavaliers.

– ESPN: Look out for games on Wednesdays and Fridays. ABC will air games on Saturdays and Sundays, sticking to their usual schedule.

With all these options, you won’t miss a moment of the action this NBA season. So grab some popcorn, find a comfy spot on the couch, and enjoy the games!
