Here’s when NBA games will air on NBC and Amazon starting next season

A suite of new documents unsealed Tuesday in the lawsuit between Warner Bros. The documents outline how different NBA broadcasts will look starting next season — not just with new partners, but also new nights. The unsealed documents reveal that Amazon will broadcast 60 games per season as part of the 11-year contract with the NBA, including an opening week doubleheader, according to a redacted contract unsealed in New York State Supreme Court. Amazon’s Thursday night broadcasts will start after the end of the NFL season, while the company will air games on Friday all season long. NBC will air 100 NBA games per season as part of its new deal, with an opening night doubleheader, likely on a Tuesday.
