NBC Adjusts Coast 2 Coast Schedule with Doubleheader Timeslot Changes

NBC recently announced that they are shaking up their NBA broadcast schedule with some exciting changes. Fans can now look forward to a primetime match-up on Dec. 30 at 10:30 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock, where LeBron James, Luke Dončić, and the Los Angeles Lakers will face off against the Detroit Pistons. This exciting game takes the place of the originally scheduled Sacramento Kings-Los Angeles Clippers match, which will now only be broadcast in local markets.

Additionally, NBC is making adjustments to their doubleheader schedule on Dec. 23, Dec. 29, and Dec. 30, with both games being broadcast across the U.S. Here’s the updated schedule:

Tues., Dec. 23
8 p.m. Nuggets at Mavericks
10:30 p.m. Rockets at Clippers

Mon., Dec. 29
8 p.m. Cavaliers at Spurs
10:30 p.m. Mavericks at Trail Blazers

Tues., Dec. 30
8 p.m. 76ers at Grizzlies
10:30 p.m. Pistons at Lakers

Notably, the Dec. 23 Rockets-Clippers and Dec. 29 Mavericks-Trail Blazers match-ups have shifted up from 11:00 p.m. ET. These games mark the first national doubleheaders for NBC since Opening Night. Adjusting the schedule aligns with the high viewership seen during the recent Coast 2 Coast Tuesday regional window and takes advantage of the holiday season when more people are likely to be at home and tuning in. Stay tuned for more exciting NBA action on NBC and Peacock!
