Where to watch NBA games in 2026-27 (Find your team and channel fast)

Why NBA games can be hard to find in 2026-27

During the 2026-27 season, games are spread across national networks, local channels, regional sports networks and streaming services. The channel or service carrying a game can also change based on the matchup and where a fan lives.

The good news: DIRECTV makes it easier to find the NBA schedule, game time and viewing information for a favorite team in one place.

Best way to find NBA games quickly

Introducing the DIRECTV NBA Team Finder, an easy way to answer two of basketball fans’ biggest questions: “When does my NBA team play?” and “What channel is the NBA game on?”

Select a favorite team to quickly find:

• The team’s upcoming NBA schedule, including game dates and start times
• The TV channel or streaming service carrying each game
• Local viewing information based on availability
• Nearby sports bars showing the game

Instead of searching through multiple NBA TV schedules, channel guides and streaming apps, fans can get the information they need in seconds and get back to the action.
