About How to Watch NBA
One question, answered fast: where is my team on TV this year?
The 2026-27 season is the most confusing year for local NBA TV in a long time. FanDuel Sports Network shut down, 13 teams found new homes, and many signed one-year deals. We built this site to keep it straight.
Where our data comes from
- Schedule and national TV come from ESPN's public scoreboard feed and refresh every night.
- Local channels are checked by hand for all 30 teams, from team announcements, station releases and trade press. Every team page lists its sources and the date we last checked.
- Unconfirmed means unconfirmed. If we can't confirm a detail from a solid source, we label it instead of guessing.
- Blackouts. Our ZIP checker uses an approximate map. The NBA's own League Pass blackout guide is the final word.
How national games work here
Games on NBC, Peacock, NBCSN, ESPN, ABC and Prime Video are treated as national exclusives: they replace local TV. NBA TV games are not exclusive, so local channels still carry them.
