National games: The NBA’s published national listings identify New York Knicks at Philadelphia 76ers on Prime Video; Los Angeles Lakers at Golden State Warriors 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?
These ten games are marked as NBA Cup group games in the league schedule. New York at Philadelphia and the Lakers at Golden State carry the two Prime Video national 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.
