There are a lot of new NBA TV crews to get used to this season, and also a broadcast schedule that might be a bit confusing at first. Until you get used to it.
There are nationally televised games every day of the week — yes, all seven. You need three streaming subscriptions to cover all of it: Peacock, Amazon Prime and a service like Hulu, Fubo or Sling.
Those are the basics, now let’s get to the granular — and the more confusing aspect.
“Coast 2 Coast Tuesday,” as it’s being called, will take getting used to. Depending on where you are in the U.S., you’ll watch the same game on different channels. Hang in there, here are the details:
8 p.m. ET game: Folks in the Eastern and Central time zones can watch on NBC or Peacock. Folks in the Pacific or Mountain time zones can watch only on Peacock.
11 p.m. ET game: Eastern and Central viewers can watch only on Peacock. Pacific and Mountain viewers can watch on NBC or Peacock.
So, for Tuesday, Oct. 28, this will be the schedule:
Knicks vs Bucks, 8 p.m. ET: Eastern and Central watch on NBC or Peacock, Pacific and Mountain watch on Peacock
Clippers vs Warriors, 11 p.m. ET: Eastern and Central watch on Peacock, Pacific and Mountain watch on NBC or Peacock
Here is the weekly schedule for nationally televised games, according to NBA.com:
Sunday: ESPN/ABC (afternoon games) & NBC/Peacock (night games) — starting midseason
Monday: Peacock
Tuesday: NBC/Peacock
Wednesday: ESPN
Thursday: Amazon Prime — starting midseason
