The league signed a contract with <a href="/wiki/NBA_on_DuMont" title="NBA on DuMont">DuMont</a> in its <a href="/wiki/1953%E2%80%9354_NBA_season" title="1953–54 NBA season">8th season (1953–54)</a>, marking the first year the NBA had a national television broadcaster. Similar to <a href="/wiki/NFL_on_DuMont" title="NFL on DuMont">NFL</a>, the lack of <a href="/wiki/Network_affiliate" title="Network affiliate">television stations</a> led to <a href="/wiki/NBA_on_NBC" title="NBA on NBC">NBC</a> taking over the rights beginning the <a href="/wiki/1954%E2%80%9355_NBA_season" title="1954–55 NBA season">very next season</a> until April 7, 1962—NBC's first tenure with the NBA. After the deal expired, <a href="/wiki/NBA_on_SNI" title="NBA on SNI">Sports Network Incorporated</a> (later known as the Hughes Television Network) signed up for two-year coverage in the <a href="/wiki/1962%E2%80%9363_NBA_season" title="1962–63 NBA season">1962–63</a> and <a href="/wiki/1963%E2%80%9364_NBA_season" title="1963–64 NBA season">1963–64 season</a>. </p><p><a href="/wiki/NBA_on_ABC" title="NBA on ABC">ABC</a> then gained the NBA in <a href="/wiki/1964%E2%80%9365_NBA_season" title="1964–65 NBA season">1964</a>, airing its first NBA game on January 3, 1965. Up until the <a href="/wiki/1970%E2%80%9371_NBA_season" title="1970–71 NBA season">1970–71 season</a>, ABC often aired NBA games as segments of its popular<i> <a href="/wiki/Wide_World_of_Sports_(American_TV_program)" title="Wide World of Sports (American TV program)">ABC's Wide World of Sports</a></i> anthology series rather than standalone broadcasts. </p><p><a href="/wiki/NBA_on_CBS" title="NBA on CBS">CBS</a> took over national rights from ABC in <a href="/wiki/1973%E2%80%9374_NBA_season" title="1973–74 NBA season">1973</a>. The late 1970s and early 1980s was notoriously known as the "tape delay playoff era". Ratings sagged in the late 1970s with a series of fairly undistinguished championship teams from relatively small markets, widespread public perceptions of drug usage among players, and a relative lack of marquee players. Even a merger with the <a href="/wiki/American_Basketball_Association" title="American Basketball Association">American Basketball Association</a> in 1976, bringing several standout players including <a href="/wiki/Julius_Erving" title="Julius Erving">Julius Erving</a> into the league, did not reverse the ratings slide. CBS, not wishing to preempt higher-rated regular programming for the relatively low-rated pro basketball, elected to show several playoff games each season <a href="/wiki/Broadcast_delay" title="Broadcast delay">tape-delayed</a> into late-night time slots. This situation dramatically improved with the arrival of <a href="/wiki/Earvin_%22Magic%22_Johnson" class="mw-redirect" title="Earvin "Magic" Johnson">Earvin "Magic" Johnson</a> and <a href="/wiki/Larry_Bird" title="Larry Bird">Larry Bird</a> for the <a href="/wiki/1979%E2%80%9380_NBA_season" title="1979–80 NBA season">1979-80 season</a>.

NBC had made a four-year $1.3 billion ($330 million/year) offer in the spring of 2002 to renew its rights, but the NBA passed and opted for ABC/ESPN's higher bid. Turner was able to keep a package for TNT.

During the first two rounds, games are split between the networks regardless of conference, with TNT primarily airing weeknight games on Mondays through Wednesdays, and ESPN generally on Fridays. For Thursday games, TNT has them in the first round and ESPN in the second round. NBA TV also televises selected first-round games on Mondays through Thursdays. Saturday and Sunday coverage of the first two rounds have then been typically split between ABC, ESPN, and TNT, with specific time slots and exceptions varying throughout the years since 2003. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/NBA_Conference_Finals" class="mw-redirect" title="NBA Conference Finals">NBA Conference Finals</a> are rotated annually, with TNT airing the Eastern Conference Finals in odd-numbered years and the Western Conference Finals in even-numbered years. ESPN then broadcasts the other conference finals series, with at least one of its weekend games airing instead on ABC. </p><p>Under the upcoming TV contracts starting with the 2026 playoffs, ABC/ESPN would broadcast about 18 games in the first two rounds each year. <a href="/wiki/NBA_on_NBC" title="NBA on NBC">NBC Sports</a> would have between 22 and 34 first and second-round games, either televised on <a href="/wiki/NBC" title="NBC">NBC</a> or streamed on <a href="/wiki/Peacock_(streaming_service)" title="Peacock (streaming service)">Peacock</a>.

NBC and Amazon would have the conference finals instead of ABC/ESPN.<sup id="cite_ref-2025–26_deals_8-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2025–26_deals-8"><span
