Domestic neutral site games
International games
Non-NBA opponents
Regular season
The NBA released the regular season schedule on August 14, with select games announced in advance of the full schedule release.[42]
International games
NBA Cup
The NBA Cup returned for the 2025–26 season, with the same basic structure:[46]
- All games except the championship final counting towards the regular-season standings.
- Six intraconference pools of five (three pools per conference).
- This season, the group games against each of the other teams in their pool (two at home and two on the road), were held primarily on Fridays between October 31 and November 28. Group games were also played on Tuesday, November 25 and Wednesday, November 26.
- The winners of each pool (three teams per conference) and two wild-card teams (one team per conference) advanced to a single-elimination tournament held on December 9, 10, 13 and 16.
- To compensate, the NBA's regular-season scheduling formula was modified so only 80 games for each team were initially announced during the offseason. The first two rounds of the tournament counted as regular-season games 81 and 82. The championship game was an extra 83rd game that did not count toward the regular season. Teams that did not qualify for the in-season tournament knockout round, or were eliminated in the quarterfinals, were scheduled additional games against other teams that were eliminated in the same conference (if possible) and round to reach 82 games.
- The semifinals and championship game were held at T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada for the third consecutive season.

Arena changes
- The Wells Fargo Center, the home of the Philadelphia 76ers, was renamed to Xfinity Mobile Arena on August 14, 2025, under a new naming rights deal with Xfinity Mobile, a subsidiary of Comcast (Spectacor, a subsidiary company, owns the arena).[71]
- PHX Arena, the home of the Phoenix Suns, was renamed to Mortgage Matchup Center on October 2, 2025.[72]
- The Orlando Magic unveiled a new logo and uniforms, taking inspiration from the team's original look from 1989 to 2000. The "shooting ball with stars" logo returned with an updated look while the wordmarks were updated with a star replacing the letter "A" in the words "Orlando" and "Magic", which are reflected in their new uniforms. The team's "Icon" uniform was changed to a blue color while the "Statement" uniform was changed to a black and blue pattern inspired by the team's original warmup gear.[73]
- The Los Angeles Lakers unveiled a new purple Statement Edition uniform. The Lakers’ white wordmark is outlined in gold, and the white jersey numbers have a gold drop shadow. The design removes the previous black side panel, leaving only purple and gold, with "Los Angeles Lakers" along the side trim. The primary logo appears at the center of the shorts, while the "LA" mark is shown on both sides for the first time on a core uniform. "Leave a Legacy" is placed above the jock tag, and "17" at the back of the neck represents the team’s championships.[74]
- The Phoenix Suns unveiled a new black Statement Edition uniform. The uniform takes inspiration from Arizona's sunsets with a purple and orange The Valley gradient throughout its design. A bold Phoenix wordmark is placed on the chest at an angle where the left side is leaning downwards. The team's sunburst logo was reimagined with the Valley-inspired gradient streaks across the shorts, while the classic sunburst logo is on the center of the beltline. The Suns would wear this uniform for the first time on October 31 against the Utah Jazz in their first 2025 NBA Cup game.[75]
- The NBA, in partnership with Topps, announced that players who played their first NBA game would wear an "NBA Debut" patch on their uniforms, which were then removed and authenticated after the game on an autographed, one-on-one numbered rookie card. Additionally, previous season's winners of the Most Valuable Player, Rookie of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year would wear a gold NBA logo patch on the back of their uniforms for the entire season.[76] All award winners and members of last season's All-NBA, All-Rookie and All-Defensive teams also wore a special patch on their uniforms (or lapels in the case of Coach of the Year and Executive of the Year winners) during their first game of the season. These patches depicted specific silhouettes tied to each player's award or year-end team selection. After the game, these uniforms are auctioned off by Sotheby's throughout the season.[77] LeBron James would also wear a special patch on his uniform commemorating his record 23rd NBA season, starting with the January 12 game at the Sacramento Kings. This design featured his trademark chalk toss silhouette in front of each of the four colors corresponding to the teams he played: navy for his first stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers, red for the Miami Heat, wine for his second stint with the Cavaliers, and gold for the Los Angeles Lakers.[78]
Television
National
This is the first season of new 11-year deals with the ESPN family of networks, NBC Sports and Amazon Prime Video. The ESPN networks renewed their contract with a modified schedule. NBC and Prime Video both replace TNT, with NBC returning to televising the NBA for the first time since 2001–02, and Prime Video signing its first U.S. national contract with the league.[79][80]
Linear television
- ABC primarily carries the flagship NBA Saturday Primetime, a seven-week package spanning from January 24 and March 14 (including two doubleheaders on January 24 and February 7);[81] due to the postponement of the Golden State–Minnesota game on January 24,[82] the Detroit–Minnesota game on March 28 was instead added to ABC's Saturday schedule.[83] ABC will also continue to air NBA Sunday Showcase, with games this season on five Sunday afternoons: February 8, and from February 22 to March 15 (including doubleheaders on three straight Sundays from February 22 to March 8).[81] ABC and ESPN simulcast the slate of five Christmas Day games.[81]
- ESPN primarily carries Wednesday night games during the regular season, with a limited selection of games on other days as the schedule allows; this includes Friday nights, as ESPN no longer airs a regular Friday-night package under the new contract. Games only on ESPN will continue to be non-exclusive and co-exist with the teams' regional broadcast.[81] ESPN also carried the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game, and will carry the NBA draft.[81] On the final Sunday of the regular season, April 12, ESPN will air a doubleheader with games to be determined; with ESPN opting out of and renegotiating its Major League Baseball contract to no longer include Sunday Night Baseball, this doubleheader will now air in evening and primetime windows.[84][81]
- NBC primarily broadcasts Coast 2 Coast Tuesdays—a weekly doubleheader with games scheduled at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT and 11 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT respectively; NBC affiliates have the option to show one or both games at their discretion (with the 8 p.m. game generally shown in the East, and the 11 p.m. game in the West), and both games are simulcast on Peacock;[85] on December 23 and 30, NBC instead aired standard, national doubleheaders with 8 and 10:30 p.m. ET windows instead of the Coast 2 Coast Tuesdays format.[86][82][87] Following the conclusion of Sunday Night Football for the season, NBC began to carry a Sunday Night Basketball package spanning from February 1 to April 5, with February 1, March 29 and April 5 scheduled as doubleheaders. The package took breaks on February 8 and 15 due to NBC's coverage of Super Bowl LX and the NBA All-Star Game. NBC also carried the opening night NBA Tip-Off doubleheader, a national doubleheader on December 29, and a Martin Luther King Jr. Day tripleheader.[85][42][80][88][89][90][86] Some of NBC's games can be non-exclusive and co-exist with the teams' regional broadcasts.[91] Spanish-language broadcasts of Sunday Night Basketball, the Mexico City Global Game, and the All-Star Game will be on Telemundo.[88][92]
- NBCUniversal relaunched its NBCSN cable network in November 2025, which simulcasts all Peacock-exclusive NBA telecasts (with overflow channels being available if more than one game airs at the same time).[93][94] On February 24, both Coast 2 Coast Tuesday games aired on NBCSN due to NBC News coverage of the State of the Union address.[82][95][90]
- NBA TV will continue to televise select games throughout the regular season, simulcast from regional broadcasters.[91][96][97] Operations of NBA TV were taken in-house by the league, moving from TNT's Atlanta studios to the league's offices in Secaucus, New Jersey.[98]
Streaming

Prime Video will also have Saturday afternoon games on January 10 and 31; February 7 and 28; March 7, 14, and 28; and April 4.[99] It also carries the Berlin and London Global games, and the entire knockout round of the NBA Cup.[80][99][100] A select number of Prime Video's games will be non-exclusive and co-exist with the teams' regional broadcasts.[101]
- The ESPN "Unlimited" streaming service will stream all ESPN-produced games,[102][103][81], including a simulcast of Celtics vs. Bulls on January 24, while both ESPN+ (ESPN Select) and Disney+ will continue to simulcast select ABC and ESPN games.[104]
- Peacock simulcasts all games aired by the NBC broadcast network, including both Coast 2 Coast Tuesday games nationwide. Peacock also has exclusive Monday night games throughout the season, with one to three games airing each week. It would also air the Mexico City Global Game, and one exclusive Martin Luther King Jr. Day game.[80][88][90] A select number of these regular season games will also be non-exclusive and co-exist with the teams' regional broadcasts.[101]
- The league-owned NBA League Pass will continue to offer out-of-market games, and live access to NBA TV.
Postseason
In the United States, all first-round playoff games will now be exclusive national games, and there will no longer be regional broadcasts.[105][106] The first two rounds will be split between Amazon Prime Video, ESPN/ABC, and NBC/Peacock. Amazon Prime Video will broadcast all Play-In Tournament games,[107] and will have between nine and 17 first-round playoff games, and between five and nine second-round playoff games. ESPN and ABC will air approximately 18 games in the first two rounds. NBC and/or Peacock will air between 22 and 34 games in the first two rounds, with at least half of them airing on NBC.[107]
Per a two-year rotation with Amazon Prime Video, NBC/Peacock will air a conference final this season, while ESPN/ABC will have the other conference final. For this season, ESPN and ABC will air the Eastern Conference Finals, picking up where they left off from their previous rotation with TNT.[108] NBC/Peacock will broadcast the Western Conference Finals, though NBC themselves revealed this later before the start of the regular season.[109] ABC remains as the exclusive broadcaster of the NBA Finals, which it has aired exclusively since 2003.[107]

- ESPN reached an agreement with TNT to continue producing its Inside the NBA and NBA Tip-Off studio shows for ESPN with no change in personnel, airing during 20 selected regular season nights and then throughout the playoffs.[112] ESPN's existing studio show, NBA Countdown, will then air on the other nights throughout the season.[113]

FanDuel Sports Network teams
In December 2025, the Wall Street Journal reported that DAZN was in advanced talks to acquire a majority stake in Main Street Sports Group, the owner of the FanDuel Sports Networks. If the deal goes through, DAZN and Main Street would integrate their live streaming platform in the United States and collaborate on programming.[143] Afterwards, Sports Business Journal reported that Main Street had missed a payment to the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team and that the company would be forced to dissolve operations at the end of the 2025–26 season if the deal with DAZN did not go through by the end of January 2026.[144] In January, Sports Business Journal reported that Main Street had missed payments to "several, if not all 13" of its NBA teams. As a result, Main Street and the teams with missed payments entered a 15-day grace period.[145] Two days later, Sports Business Journal reported that talks with DAZN had stopped progressing and all MLB teams except the Tampa Bay Rays had not received payments on-time.[146]
On January 8, 2026, all nine MLB teams with agreements with FanDuel Sports Network terminated their contracts with the company due to missed payments.[147] In February 2026, most former FanDuel MLB teams announced production and distribution deals with MLB Local Media.[148] Puck reported that Main Street intends to wind down FanDuel Sports Network in mid-April after the close of the 2025–26 NBA and NHL seasons.[149][150]
On March 9, 2026, the Los Angeles Angels announced that they would acquire FanDuel Sports Network West from Main Street outright, with an aim to maintain continuity and existing distribution agreements. While the team renewed the channel's rights to the NHL's Los Angeles Kings through at least the 2026–27 season, the Los Angeles Clippers are carried on the separate channel FanDuel Sports Network SoCal, and it is not known if the Clippers will join the Angels-owned venture or pursue a different broadcast arrangement going forward.[151][152][153] The NBA is otherwise exploring plans to launch a centralized hub for local broadcasts like MLB Local Media.[154][155]
