New NBA TV Lineup Announced…

The NBA is cranking up the hype machine two months ahead of the 2025-26 season with a blockbuster schedule drop! October 21 marks the start of what should be an epic showdown with the Lakers and Warriors duking it out. The real plot twist this year? TNT has been kicked to the curb, making way for NBC, Peacock, and Amazon Prime. Now, don’t worry, ESPN and ABC are still there. They’re like that trusty pair of socks you can’t replace—comfortable and full of holes. The Lakers, meanwhile, are flooding the airwaves with 34 national games!

ESPN and ABC will occupy center stage, hosting must-watch action including 13 Lakers games. ESPN will handle Wednesdays while ABC jumps in on Saturdays, with a sprinkle of Sunday games too. NBC and Peacock will tag-team Sundays and Tuesdays, featuring seven Lakers games. Meanwhile, Peacock takes Monday games exclusively. Ka-ching! On top of that, Amazon Prime is hopping in with exclusive Thursdays and a buffet spread of Fridays and Saturdays. They’re like the buffet restaurant that somehow got a Michelin star—totally unexpected but oddly delightful!
