Wondering where to watch NBA basketball during the 2025-2026 season? The rich tradition of athletic competition established by ABC Sports continues with the best games each and every weekend during the NBA season right through the NBA Finals.

Well, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver rolled his eyes at the thought. Ahead of the 2025-26 Opening Night, where the Thunder handed out rings and unveiled their championship banner, he said there's zero correlation between market size related to TV ratings. He talked to ESPN's Pat McAfee.

The newest home for NBA hoops, Prime Video opens its inaugural season at the World’s Most Famous Arena on Oct. 24 when the Knicks host the Celtics in the opening game of a doubleheader, followed by the Timberwolves visiting the Lakers in Los Angeles.

ESPN and ABC will primarily cover games on Sundays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays during the 2025-26 regular season. "Inside the NBA" will serve as ESPN's main pregame, halftime and postgame show for its biggest events, but "NBA Countdown" will still air before select games.

The program will continue to be produced by TNT Sports from its Atlanta studios and will feature the longtime cast of host Ernie Johnson and analysts Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal and Kenny Smith.

There were complaints online during last year's NBA Finals that without it the game lacked the feel of an event.

Postgame editions will be open-ended on ESPN while ABC will run a half-hour and then continue on the ESPN app. The program will air on 20 dates during the regular season and throughout the NBA Playoffs, including the Eastern Conference Finals and the NBA Finals.
