NEW YORK – The NBA today released its complete game schedule and broadcast and streaming schedules for Disney (ABC/ESPN/ESPN Radio), NBCUniversal (NBC/Peacock) and Amazon (Prime Video) for the 2025-26 regular season.  As part of the NBA Schedule Release presented by Ticketmaster, the day-by-day and team-by-team schedules are attached and available at NBA.com/schedule.  Fans can purchase tickets to games at NBATickets.com.

Through the NBA’s partnership renewal with Disney and new agreements with NBCUniversal and Amazon, the 2025-26 schedule of national games will generally feature Mondays on Peacock, Tuesdays on NBC/Peacock, Wednesdays on ESPN/ESPN App, Thursdays on Prime Video, Fridays on Prime Video and ESPN/ESPN App, Saturdays on Prime Video in the afternoon and ABC/ESPN App at night, and Sundays on ABC/ESPN App in the afternoon and NBC/Peacock at night.  Every national game will be available on broadly distributed streaming services – the ESPN App for all ABC/ESPN games, Peacock for all NBCUniversal games and Prime Video for all Amazon games.

This season, the NBA will launch a new digital feature to make watching live games easier than ever.  Through the NBA App, NBA.com, team platforms and league partner sites, fans will be seamlessly guided to live game streams.  More details will be shared ahead of the season.

As previously announced, the 80th NBA regular season will tip off with a doubleheader on Tuesday, Oct. 21, 2025, when the NBA returns to NBC and debuts on Peacock as the defending NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder hosts the Houston Rockets (7:30 p.m. ET) and the Golden State Warriors visit the Los Angeles Lakers (10 p.m. ET).  The regular season will conclude on Sunday, April 12, 2026, with all 30 teams in action, highlighted by an ESPN doubleheader that will be determined at a later date.

The SoFi NBA Play-In Tournament 2026, which determines the seventh and eighth playoff seeds in each conference, will stream exclusively on Prime Video on Tuesday, April 14, Wednesday, April 15 and Friday, April 17.  Disney, NBCUniversal and Prime Video will each provide extensive game coverage during the NBA Playoffs 2026, which will start on Saturday, April 18.  ABC will televise the NBA Finals 2026 presented by YouTube TV.

The regular-season schedule includes defined dates and opponents for 80 of each team’s 82 games.  The two unassigned games for each team, to be played from Tuesday, Dec. 9 – Monday, Dec. 15, will be determined based on the results of Group Play games in the Emirates NBA Cup 2025.  The Group Play schedule, which comprises 60 games that will be played on “Cup Nights” from Friday, Oct. 31 – Friday, Nov. 28, was announced on Aug. 13.  After Group Play, Prime Video will stream the Knockout Rounds, which consist of single-elimination games in the Quarterfinals (Tuesday, Dec. 9 – Wednesday, Dec. 10), Semifinals (Saturday, Dec. 13) and Championship (Tuesday, Dec. 16).

Below is an overview of the game schedules for Disney, NBCUniversal and Amazon, along with additional highlights for the 2025-26 season.  NBA TV’s game schedule and programming will be announced at a later date.
