In conjunction with the NBA, ESPN unveiled its blockbuster broadcast schedule for the 2023-24 NBA regular season! In total, the schedule boasts 100 games that will be broadcast across ESPN and ABC. This will also include a minimum of eight games as part of the inaugural NBA In-Season tournament.
Standout games listed on the schedule are the two Opening Week doubleheaders, NBA Saturday Primetime on ABC, NBA Sunday Showcase on ABC, as well as Thanksgiving Eve and Black Friday games. There is absolutely no shortage of basketball action this coming Fall!!
Each weeknight game will be preceded by the NBA Countdown pregame show hosted by a new-look panel that includes Stephen A. Smith, Michael Wilbon, Adrian Wojnarowski, as well as newly announced, Malika Andrews and Bob Myers.
Opening week is set to include Victor Wembanyama’s debut in a San Antonio Spurs uniform, as well as a classic rival matchup between the Boston Celtics and the New York Knicks! The doubleheader scheduled for Friday, October 7 will be comprised of an EFC Conference Finals rematch between the Celtics and the Miami Heat and a nightcap matchup between the Golden State Warriors and the Sacramento Kings – another 2023 NBA Playoff rematch.
It truly is the best time of the year, and we’ve waited all Summer for it to commence! Check out the full schedules below.
