The NBA is about to see a huge new infusion of revenue. The league has finalized agreements with Disney, Comcast, and Amazon to become the next distributors of nationally-broadcast NBA games starting in 2025, in a deal worth $76 billion total — more than triple the value of the Association’s current $24 billion deal with Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery. For fans, however, it means more channels and streaming services than ever before will be carrying NBA games, and it’s already confusing enough to keep track of what games are on and when. With that in mind, I’ll break down what each company is set to get in terms of weekly games, playoff series, and more in the new broadcast agreement, to try and help viewers keep track of where the league’s games will be played going forward.

Key Details:

• Each of the outlets set to become NBA broadcasters will have games on different evenings during the regular season.
• Playoff rights have also been split up, though the new In-Season Tournament will be exclusively on Prime Video.
• TNT is highly unlikely to be an NBA partner after 2025, though it’s not completely out of the running.

The agreements struck between the NBA and Disney, Comcast and Amazon will run for 11 years. Disney will place games on ABC and ESPN as it has done for many years, while Comcast will have games on NBC, with exclusives on Peacock as well. Amazon’s package of games will, of course, stream on Prime Video.

ESPN will pay $2.6 billion annually for its package of games, which also includes expanded digital rights. That will be helpful for the channel, as it plans to launch a content tile on Disney+ later this year, as well as the standalone ESPN Flagship streaming service in 2025. ESPN will also be a part of the Venu Sports joint venture service, which means that NBA games will stream there as well.

NBC will pay $2.5 billion for its package of games every season, which is set to move off of TNT for the first time since 1989. That means that the “Roundball Rock” theme song is likely to return to airwaves starting in 2025, and it also shifts the annual NBA All-Star game to NBC and Peacock. Speaking of the streamer, Peacock’s Monday night package will be exclusive to the service.

Prime Video will pay $1.8 billion every year for its package, which will include a series of first-round playoff games akin to what NBA TV gets every year. Prime Video will also be the exclusive home of the In-Season Tournament, which was played for the first time in 2023.

Although the deal terms do not specify exactly how many regular season and playoff games NBC and Prime Video will get, we can at least guess using the 2023-24 season as a guide. During last season, ESPN and ABC split a package of 100 regular season games, while TNT got another 65. Since we know Disney’s inventory will shrink from 100 games to around 80, that would mean there are around 85 games up for grabs each year. The easiest way for the NBA to distribute those games is to split them between NBC and Amazon evenly, giving them around 42 games each per regular season.

The new deal will make NBA basketball appointment viewing almost nightly and will shift games off of a cable (TNT)channel and onto a broadcast network (NBC). But it will also mean more streaming-exclusive games on Prime Video and Peacock, and ESPN may have the right to paywall games on a streaming service as well, once it gets its various new streaming products off the ground.

But before anything gets written in stone, TNT could still upset this apple cart. The Warner Bros. Discovery cable channel has the contractual right to match any third-party offers to the NBA and may try to use those rights to claw back Amazon’s package. A nasty court battle could result, and if WBD succeeds in keeping NBA rights for TNT, the matter will grow even more confusing for fans.
