National games: The NBA’s published national listings identify New York Knicks at Boston Celtics on Prime Video; Houston Rockets at San Antonio Spurs on Prime Video. A blank network in the dated schedule is not a promise that a game is free or unavailable; regional channels and later assignments can differ.
Which games stand out?
New York at Boston and Houston at San Antonio have Prime Video national listings. Ten more games are scheduled, including the Clippers at the Lakers, but their U.S. viewing paths must be checked against current local and league listings. This is schedule context, not a prediction of the result, starting lineups or player availability.
How to watch from the United States
ESPN/ESPN App, NBC/Peacock and Prime Video require the applicable channel, service or subscription for their listed national games. For a game without a listed national network, use the NBA’s current game page or Tap to Watch to find the local telecast. NBA League Pass is for eligible out-of-market games and is subject to local and national blackouts; it is not a blanket free stream.
See the NBA’s official 2026-27 viewing guide for platform rules. The times above are U.S. Eastern and Pacific times on the same U.S. calendar date, three hours apart. Do not use a Korean-date listing to infer the U.S. game date.
Source and last-minute changes
The matchups, scheduled tip-offs and national labels were transcribed from the NBA’s official schedule by date (issued August 13, 2026). Check the live NBA schedule again before the game because the league may revise dates, times or broadcasters. This page will be updated at the same URL when a confirmed change affects the slate.
