How NBA TV works now

The quick answer

National game? Watch the listed network or stream — it works anywhere in the U.S.
Not national, and you're in the team's market? Local channel or the team's streaming app. League Pass is blacked out for you.
Not national, out of market? League Pass has it live.

The national slate

Network	Typical windows
ABC / ESPN	Saturday primetime, Christmas, the NBA Finals
NBC / Peacock	Sunday nights (post-football), Monday and Tuesday nights
Prime Video	Thursday and Friday doubleheaders, the NBA Cup knockout rounds, the Play-In
NBA TV	A rotating national game most nights

ABC / ESPN. The Finals stay on ABC. ESPN games also stream on the ESPN app.
NBC / Peacock. NBA on NBC is back for the first time since 2002. Most games simulcast on Peacock; some are Peacock-only.
Prime Video. Streaming only — not on cable at all. Prime covers it.
NBA TV. The league's own channel — on most TV providers, or as a League Pass add-on.

Local broadcasts

Local feeds work only in each team's home market. These can include regional sports networks, over-the-air TV, and team streaming apps. Game pages mark these feeds in-market.

League Pass

Every game streams live — unless it's in your market (use the local feed) or a national exclusive (use that feed).
Every game, national ones included, gets a full replay and a condensed cut shortly after the buzzer.
NBA TV is an add-on if your TV provider doesn't carry it.

Radio

SiriusXM has a national call for most games. Each team also has a local radio broadcast. Game pages list both.
