It’s official, the NBA on TNT era is coming to an end.

The NBA announced TV partnerships on Wednesday that will lead to games continuing to appear on ESPN and ABC, as well as new deals with NBC and Prime Video.

The contract begins with the 2025-26 season and runs through the 2035-36 season.

The announcement means the end of TNT’s NBA rights that it’s held for 35 years and the potential end to the Emmy-winning “Inside the NBA” featuring Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and Shaquille O’Neal.

TNT will continue to carry the league’s games through the 2025 Western Conference finals as part of its current deal, but the NBA said Warner Bros. Discovery did not match the new 11-year, $1.8 billion annual contract the NBA agreed to with Amazon.

In a statement Wednesday, TNT said that it matched the Amazon offer and does “not believe the NBA can reject it.”

“We think [the NBA has] grossly misinterpreted our contractual rights with respect to the 2025-26 season and beyond, and we will take appropriate action,” the statement said.

ESPN/ABC

Disney (ABC and ESPN) will distribute a total of 80 NBA regular-season games per season, including more than 20 games on ABC, generally on Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons, and up to 60 games on ESPN, generally on Wednesday nights and, on occasion, Friday nights.

ABC/ESPN will continue to telecast all five NBA games on Christmas Day and provide exclusive national coverage of the final day of the regular season.

During the playoffs, ABC/ESPN will telecast approximately 18 games in the first two rounds each year and one of the two Conference Finals series in 10 of the 11 years of the agreement.

ABC will remain the exclusive home of the NBA Finals, which it has broadcast since 2003.

“We look forward to building upon our incredible legacy of innovation and growth with our longstanding partners at the NBA,” said ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro. “The NBA is a vibrant, ascendant league and through this premium collection of rights, including every NBA Finals on our platforms, we will continue to evolve together while successfully navigating the global digital transition and delivering the highest quality coverage for fans.”

NBC

The NBA will also return to NBC for the first time since 2002. The network will distribute up to 100 NBA regular-season games per season – with more than half of the games airing on NBC on Sunday and Tuesday nights.

NBC will telecast the league’s opening night doubleheader on NBC each year and at least two games on MLK Day on NBC and/or Peacock each season.

Peacock will also stream a doubleheader each Monday night of the season.NBC will also become the home of NBA All-Star weekend, replacing TNT.

In the playoffs, NBC and/or Peacock will telecast approximately 28 games in the first two rounds of the playoffs, with at least half of those games airing on NBC.

NBC will also telecast one of the two Conference Finals series in six of the 11 years on a rotating basis with Amazon, beginning with the 2025-26 season.

“We are proud to once again partner with the NBA and WNBA, two iconic brands and the home of the best basketball in the world,” said Mike Cavanagh, President of Comcast Corporation. “We look forward to presenting our best-in-class coverage of both leagues with our innovative programming and distribution plan across NBC and Peacock to entertain fans and help grow the game.”

Amazon

Amazon will distribute 66 NBA regular-season games on Prime Video each season, including Thursday night doubleheaders beginning in January, Friday evening doubleheaders, select Saturday afternoon games, at least one game on Black Friday, and the Quarterfinals and Semifinals in the Knockout Round of the Emirates NBA Cup. In addition, Prime Video will stream the Championship Game of the Emirates NBA Cup.

Prime Video will also distribute all six SoFi NBA Play-In Tournament games. In the playoffs, Prime Video will stream approximately one-third of the first and second rounds each year.

Additionally, Prime Video will stream one of the two Conference Finals series in six of the 11 years on a rotating basis with NBC, beginning with the 2026-27 NBA season.

Additionally, Prime Video will stream half of all NBA Summer League games as well as a package of WNBA and NBA G League regular-season and postseason games.

“We are honored that the NBA has entrusted Prime Video to deliver its one-of-a-kind action and excitement to viewers around the world,” said Mike Hopkins, Head of Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios.

“We look forward to continuing to innovate and evolve live sports coverage for our customers and are fully committed to building an incredible video experience for millions of NBA fans starting in 2025.”

Disney, NBC and Amazon also secured the right to distribute an unprecedented number of WNBA live game telecasts.
