On August 14 the NBA released the full schedule for the 2025-26 basketball season. It is an exciting time for fans of all teams, who can collectively hope that this year is The Year for their favorite franchises without the context of standings or injuries to sully their hopes. This year's schedule release also makes for a nifty bit of NBA history.
The 2025-26 season will be the very first in which NBA games are broadcast on Amazon Prime. The schedule release means we know which games will be exclusively shown on Prime this season. As is the case with NFL games on Prime, the local markets will still show the games; Celtics fans who live in the greater Boston area will not be left in the dark when the C's play on Prime. But for the national audience, Prime is the only way to watch the games you'll see listed below.
For those who are curious: the Amazon Prime games will be called by a combination of Ian Eagle, Kevin Harlan, Michael Grady, and Eric Collins. Game analysts will include Stan Van Gundy, Brent Barry, and Dell Curry. The sideline reporters will be Cassidy Hubbarth, Kristina Pink, and Allie Clifton.
It's not every day that a new network gets to craft its own vision of what broadcasting NBA basketball should look like, so this will definitely be an interesting inaugural season for Prime and the NBA.
Without further ado, here is every game scheduled to be broadcast exclusively on Amazon Prime, sorted by month.
