How to Watch the Brooklyn Nets in 2026-27

BEST WAY TO WATCH (CORD CUTTERS)

Fubo carries the national Brooklyn Nets games

Carries every ABC/ESPN game and the NBC broadcast network, plus a wide sports lineup and free access to ESPN Unlimited. The single best live-TV starting point for an NBA fan.

Important: National games are the minority. Most of an 82-game season airs locally through the team's regional network or local broadcast partner, and that is a separate subscription from any of the national services.

The Brooklyn Nets play 82 regular-season games in 2026-27, opening Tuesday, October 20, 2026. The 2026-27 season is the second year of the NBA's 11-year media deal with Disney, NBCUniversal, and Amazon. TNT and TBS no longer carry the NBA. Every national game streams on a broadly distributed service — the ESPN App for ABC and ESPN games, Peacock for NBC games, and Prime Video for Amazon games.

NATIONAL TELEVISION PARTNERS

ABC and ESPN

STREAMS ON ESPN APP / ESPN UNLIMITED

80 regular-season games, the five-game Christmas Day slate, first- and second-round playoff games, the 2027 Western Conference Finals, and the NBA Finals — which air exclusively on ABC.

NBC, Peacock, and NBCSN

STREAMS ON PEACOCK

100 regular-season games including the opening-night tripleheader, Holiday Hoops, a Presidents' Day quadrupleheader, and All-Star coverage. Monday games stream on Peacock and air on NBCSN.

LOCAL GAMES AND BLACKOUTS

National games are the minority. Most of an 82-game season airs locally through the team's regional network or local broadcast partner, and that is a separate subscription from any of the national services.

Local games are blacked out on NBA League Pass — the out-of-market package exists for following a team you do not live near, not for watching your hometown team.

NBA League Pass

$14.99/MONTH OR $109.99/YEAR

Out-of-market games, subject to local blackouts. Also purchasable as an add-on through Prime Video.

This is for following the Brooklyn Nets from outside their market. If you live in the market, it is the wrong product — you need the regional network instead.
