The Knicks, Spurs, 76ers and Lakers are scheduled to play the maximum number of national television games for the 2026-27 NBA season, according to outlets reporting on the league’s TV distribution.
The reports say the total represents the highest allocation available across the major U.S. broadcasters’ platforms: Disney’s ABC/ESPN, NBCUniversal’s NBC Sports and Peacock, and Amazon’s Prime Video. While the outlets do not add contrasting details beyond the shared scheduling premise, the common focus is on which teams receive the top-tier national exposure and that the figure reflects the maximum allowed across those networks.
In other words, each of the four teams is included among the clubs that reach the upper limit of national broadcast games for the season, rather than a lower allocation.
