What the columns mean
- #
- Rank on the column the board is sorted by, 1 = most. The rank belongs to the team, not the row, so flipping to low-to-high counts down to #1 at the foot. Ties share a rank.
- Natl TV
- Games on the team's main slate with a national television window. A game simulcast on two national networks counts once.
- Share
- Those games as a share of the team's main-slate schedule — regular season plus in-season cup.
- Networks
- Which national networks carry the team, most games first. A simulcast game appears under each network, so these can add up to more than the total.
- Last season
- The team's record the previous season — what the networks were picking from when the schedule was made.
Windows against last season
Golden State Warriors went 37-45 in 2025-26 and still drew 33 national windows — the most of any team that finished under .500.
The extremes
The networks' pick
The New York Knicks' national slate: 42 of 80 games carry a national television window — 52.5% of the schedule — across Peacock 11 · Prime Video 10 · NBC 9 · ESPN 8 · NBA TV 8 · ABC 6 · NBC Sports Network 2 · Telemundo 2.
The networks' blind spot
The Sacramento Kings' national slate: 4 of 80 games carry a national television window — 5.0% of the schedule — across NBA TV 2 · Peacock 2 · NBC 1 · NBC Sports Network 1.
Most televised under .500
The Golden State Warriors went 37-45 the season before and still drew 33 national windows — the most of any team that finished under .500.
How it's counted
A national TV game is one the NBA schedule feed lists with a national television broadcast — broadcaster scope "natl", media "tv" — the same rule the schedule and game pages use to print a game's network, so a count here and a network beside a game can never disagree.
National streaming windows are included: the feed labels the streaming-exclusive national services as television, and a reader watches them the same way.
A game simulcast on two national networks counts once in a team's total and once under each network in the breakdown, so the networks can add up to more than the total.
Share is national games over the team's main-slate games — regular season plus in-season cup — the same slate the rest of the travel desk counts.
Last season is the team's record in 2025-26 — the strength prior that exists the hour a schedule drops, and so the record the networks were picking from. It is not a projection of this season.
Teams the networks passed over still appear, at zero. This is who the networks picked, not a judgement of who deserved it.
