The New York Knicks visit the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday, November 7, at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT). NBA TV has the confirmed U.S. national telecast. The NBA calls this a rematch of the 2026 Eastern Conference Finals, giving the second national game of Saturday’s slate its own storyline after the earlier Mexico City matchup.

Why NBA TV selected this game
The league’s 2026-27 NBA TV announcement specifically pairs the Mexico City game with New York at Cleveland and describes the later matchup as an Eastern finals rematch. The announcement identifies New York as the defending NBA champion. The rematch label refers to last season’s postseason; this November 7 fixture is a regular-season game, not a playoff game.
U.S. viewing and the other national game
NBA TV is the announced national channel for Knicks–Cavaliers. Viewers should confirm that their TV or streaming service carries NBA TV and use the NBA’s exact-game watch selector for their location. This is not a confirmed free stream. National and local blackout rules can affect League Pass access.
Denver and Indiana are scheduled earlier at 5 p.m. ET, also on NBA TV, but play at Arena CDMX rather than in Cleveland. The November 7 U.S. schedule guide lists both national assignments alongside the other five games and their ET/PT starts. The NBA’s viewing guide explains subscription and blackout rules.
