How to stream the 2025-26 NBA season

Here is a 177-word summary of the key points from the article: The NBA's national media rights will undergo a major shift starting with the 2025-26 season. The league's national TV package will be split between three broadcasters: Disney (ABC/ESPN), NBC/Peacock, and Amazon Prime Video. This will provide cord-cutters with several options to stream marquee NBA games, but keeping track of which platform carries which games will require more effort. NBC/Peacock will air up to 100 regular-season games, including Tuesday night doubleheaders and a new Sunday night showcase. Amazon Prime Video secured a package of 66 regular-season games, Play-In Tournament matchups, and select playoff games. Regional sports networks (RSNs) remain crucial for following local teams, but many are absent from popular streaming services. The best approach is to combine an RSN service with one of the national platforms. NBA League Pass provides access to out-of-market games, while NBA Team Pass offers a cheaper option to follow a specific team. However, blackout rules still apply, limiting cord-cutting options for some fans.
