National games: The NBA’s August 13 dated schedule does not assign a national U.S. network to these games. Check the current game listings for any later assignment. 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?
The seven-game slate includes Oklahoma City at Houston and Minnesota at San Antonio. Their listed Eastern times are in the table. 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.
