After almost 24 years since NBC featured its last NBA game (8,532 days to be precise), the league returns in a big way when the NBA on NBC arrives this fall, with NBC and Peacock presenting pro basketball action across three marquee nights every week.
There’s Peacock NBA Monday, which debuts on October 27, followed by Coast 2 Coast Tuesday, which premieres on October 28. Then when Sunday Night Football departs at the end of the upcoming NFL season, Sunday Night Basketball will swoop in to the same Sunday evening time slot, with a tip-off date that begins on February 1, 2026.
