The NBA is back — and you better have your streaming passwords available.

The season kicks off Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. ET when the champion Thunder host the Kevin Durant-led Rockets, followed by the Lakers welcoming the Warriors at 10 p.m. ET.

The Knicks’ season starts Wednesday when they host the Cavaliers in a potential Eastern Conference finals preview, while the Nets visit Charlotte to start what could be a long year in Brooklyn.

The NBA’s broadcasting rights received an upheaval this offseason, with Amazon joining the mix, NBC welcoming pro hoops back to its slate, TNT’s pact dissolving and “Inside The NBA” shifting to ESPN.

Here’s all you need to know about how to watch what should be an exciting 2025-26 NBA season.

The NBA is returning to NBC for the first time since 2002 after the sides agreed to a new deal.

The network, along with its streaming platform, Peacock, has the rights to 100 regular-season games, including both of Tuesday’s contests.

NBC also will air roughly 28 games across the first two rounds of the playoffs, and one of the conference finals in six seasons of the 11-year deal.

It also will be be the official network of All-Star Weekend, plus the Martin Luther King Jr. day contests.

The NBC partnership will include Michael Jordan’s “MJ: Insights to Excellence” series, in which he speaks with Mike Tirico while analyzing the sport.

NBC & Peacock will have games on Monday (Peacock), Tuesday and Sunday night, with the Sunday games beginning Feb. 1, per the release.

And, yes, this means “Roundball Rock” is back.

NBC’s broadcasting crew includes Mike Tirico, Noah Eagle, Reggie Miller, Grant Hill, Carmelo Anthony and more.

“Inside the NBA” is still around, but TNT is gone.

Turner networks will no longer broadcast games after parent Warner Bros Discovery decided to drop out of the bidding.

ESPN swooped in and will now air the popular show, although there’s a caveat: TNT will still produce the show live from Atlanta, and ESPN has said it plans to let the show do what it does best.

That means Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, Kenny Smith and host Ernie Johnson are back to break down the league in a way only they can.

“Inside the NBA” will air one hour before tipoff for ESPN and the postgame shows will start right after, while the pregame shows for ABC tilts will be 30 minutes before the game begins, per ESPN.

The shows after “NBA Saturday Primetime on ABC” will begin right after the game, and “Inside the NBA” will be the pregame show before “NBA Sunday Showcase” on ABC, according to the release.

ESPN lists 20 shows for “Inside the NBA,” beginning Wednesday when ESPN airs the Knicks hosting the Cavaliers at 7 p.m. ET and the Mavericks welcoming the Spurs at 9:30 p.m. ET.

Amazon Prime Video is making its NBA broadcasting debut this year after agreeing to an 11-year deal.

The streaming giant will air 66 regular-season games, including the knockout stages of the NBA Cup, and will be the home for all six games of the Play-In Tournament, per the league’s release.

It will also air one-third of the playoff games spanning the first two rounds, and complement NBC by broadcasting one of the conference finals in six of 11 seasons.

Amazon Prime’s Thursday and Saturday games will start in January, and the broadcasting team features Ian Eagle, Kevin Harlan, Steve Nash, Stan Van Gundy and more.

This season marks the 24th season of ABC and ESPN airing NBA games.

The Disney empire will have 80 regular-season games, including the strong Christmas lineup, roughly 18 postseason games over the first two rounds and one conference final in 10 of 11 years, per the release.

ESPN and ABC will then exclusively air the NBA Finals in each of the 11 years.

Tim Legler is replacing Doris Burke in the network’s top booth this season, alongside Mike Breen and Richard Jefferson.

Burke moves to the No. 2 team with Dave Pasch.
