NBA Secures $76 Billion Media Rights Deal with NBC, Amazon, and ESPN/ABC

Warner Bros. Discovery faces potential legal battles as TNT loses long-held NBA broadcasting rights.

The NBA's new 11-year media rights contracts will start in the 2025-26 season, averaging $6.9 billion annually.
NBC, Amazon Prime Video, and ESPN/ABC will share broadcasting duties, with ESPN/ABC retaining exclusive rights to the NBA Finals.
Warner Bros. Discovery's TNT may challenge the loss of NBA rights, citing potential breaches in the matching agreement.
The deal marks NBC's return to NBA broadcasting after a 23-year hiatus, including a Sunday night package and All-Star Weekend coverage.
The NBA's new contracts are expected to boost the league's financial standing, with potential expansion and increased salary caps.
