The NBA releases full 2026-27 season schedules, and the Los Angeles Lakers again have the most nationally televised games. According to multiple outlets, the Lakers’ slate includes 34 national TV appearances.
The figures are based on the league’s national-broadcast designations shown in each team’s schedule. One other group of teams also reaches the same total, with the New York Knicks, San Antonio Spurs, and Philadelphia 76ers listed as having 34 national TV games as well. This means the Lakers’ number is not unique, but it is at the top of the league.
While the two reports focus on the same scheduling detail, they emphasize the same league-wide comparison: that only a small set of teams matches the Lakers’ national exposure for the season. Neither outlet cites changes from the previous year or specific game matchups, focusing instead on the count of nationally televised games.
