ESPN and ABC will primarily cover games on Sundays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays during the 2025-26 regular season. "Inside the NBA" will serve as ESPN's main pregame, halftime and postgame show for its biggest events, but "NBA Countdown" will still air before select games.

The NBA’s return to NBC is part of an 11-year, $76 billion rights package spread across ESPN/ABC, NBC/Peacock and Amazon’s Prime Video. NBC will air primetime games on Tuesdays throughout the season, and Sundays after its NFL commitments end, and Peacock will have streaming-exclusive games on Monday nights.

Welcome to a nine-game night in the National Basketball Association, featuring Myles Turner’s return to Indiana (7 ET) and a Texas-sized showdown between the Mavericks and Rockets (8 ET).

NBC, Peacock and Prime Video join the NBA broadcast schedule beginning with the 2025-26 season, eventually providing national telecasts each day of the week.

Postgame editions will be open-ended on ESPN while ABC will run a half-hour and then continue on the ESPN app. The program will air on 20 dates during the regular season and throughout the NBA Playoffs, including the Eastern Conference Finals and the NBA Finals.

Fans tuning into the NBA this season will have to adjust their viewing habits to new networks and a seven-day-a-week national TV schedule.
