NEW YORK — Every NBA team will have at least two national TV games this season, the league confirmed Thursday as part of its full schedule unveiling for 2025-26.
The reason: There simply are more national games than ever, now that the league’s new 11-year, $76 billion agreements with ABC-ESPN, NBC-Peacock and Amazon Prime Video are about to formally begin.
There will be 247 games scheduled on those networks this season, up from 172 last season between ABC, ESPN and TNT.
