Amazon Set to Stream NBA Games Starting 2025-26 Season

The tech giant nears a significant media rights deal with the NBA, marking its first major foray into basketball streaming.

Amazon Prime Video is close to finalizing a deal to broadcast NBA games, beginning with the 2025-26 season.
The agreement, expected to last at least a decade, includes regular-season and postseason games, potentially featuring conference finals.
ESPN will retain exclusive rights to the NBA Finals, while TNT faces reduced game broadcasts under the new arrangement.
The deal would expand Amazon's sports streaming portfolio, which already includes NFL, WNBA, and NWSL broadcasts.
The NBA's shift towards streaming platforms reflects broader changes in viewer habits and the decline of traditional cable TV.
