Watching NBA basketball on national television will look very different in 2025-26. The NBA ushered in a new era when the league and TNT mutually agreed to part ways after a 17-year partnership. That opened the door for other networks to get in on NBA basketball, and sure enough, the league in July of 2024 announced new, 11-year media agreements with The Walt Disney Company, NBCUniversal, and Amazon, which will begin in 2025-26 and run through the 2035-36 campaign.
So while ESPN and ABC, familiar destinations for basketball fans, will continue to broadcast games, the likes of NBC (an old friend) and Prime Video ( a new friend), will be homes for nationally televised games this season.
