The upcoming NBA season is only a couple of months away, and cord cutters will have new ways to watch the action unfold on the hardwood. Amazon’s video streaming service, Prime Video, is joining the NBA party and will carry 67 regular-season games, plus coverage of the Emirates NBA Cup, the SoFi NBA Play-In Tournament, and playoff games.
“We’re thrilled to tip off Prime Video’s inaugural NBA season with such an exceptional lineup of games,” said Jay Marine, Global Head of Sports, Prime Video. “From iconic rivalries, competitive conference matchups and the high-stakes action of the Emirates NBA Cup, we are excited to bring the most compelling stories and stars to fans all season long. We look forward to delivering our own unique basketball coverage to Prime customers around the globe that both educates and informs fans and celebrates the game at the highest level.”
For the 2025-26 season, NBA on Prime Video gives viewers a package that features a baked-in line-up of must-see matchups without needing traditional cable.

For the inaugural season, NBA on Prime assembled a veteran broadcast roster with familiar voices and star analysts: play-by-play callers Ian Eagle, Kevin Harlan, Michael Grady and Eric Collins; analysts Stan Van Gundy, Brent Barry and Dell Curry; sideline reporters Cassidy Hubbarth, Kristina Pink and Allie Clifton; and studio/game analysts including Taylor Rooks, Dirk Nowitzki, Blake Griffin, Udonis Haslem, Dwyane Wade, Steve Nash and Candace Parker.
