New Media Rights Deal Set to Revolutionize NBA’s Broadcast Landscape with Amazon Prime Video and ESPN Changes

Amazon Prime Video is set to become the league’s new partner in the NBA’s next media rights deal, according to The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand. The agreement will begin with the 2025-26 season and last for at least 10 years. ESPN paid $1.6 billion per year in its agreement, while TNT paid $1.2 billion per year. However, under the new package, ESPN may televise fewer games and potentially open up broadcasts to another TV partner.

The question of who will broadcast those games remains uncertain, with NBC reportedly interested in regaining NBA broadcast rights. NBC has been without NBA games since 2002 but is eager to provide content for its streaming platform, Peacock. Warner Bros. Discovery, the corporate owner of TNT, has the right to match any deal for NBA broadcasts and could lose a major gap in their programming if they do not secure these telecasts.

Google is also reportedly interested in carrying NBA League Pass, the league’s out-of-market broadcast package, indicating that significant shifts could occur in the NBA’s media landscape in the coming years.
