For French basketball fans looking to follow the NBA 2026–2027 season, Amazon Prime Video is broadcasting up to 86 regular-season games for Prime members, including 26 matchups scheduled in prime time, BasketUSA reported, offering a dedicated Sunday evening slot nearly every week without requiring an additional fee.
Amazon Prime Streams 86 Regular-Season Games
The streaming schedule began on October 24, 2026, delivering 86 regular-season games to subscribers of the baseline Amazon Prime service. Among those fixtures, 26 contests air at evening times tailored for European audiences, eliminating the need to stay awake past midnight. According to BasketUSA, San Antonio Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama is scheduled for four prime-time appearances, while the Sixers of LeBron James feature in five.
The platform’s inventory stands apart from the standalone subscription required for the NBA League Pass. While Prime Video secures select weekly fixtures and major tournament rounds, it does not carry every game across the entire league. Subscribers must check broadcast tags inside the app before viewing, as inclusion in the standard video catalog does not automatically guarantee a game is part of the Prime package rather than a League Pass exclusive.

European Showdowns in Paris and Manchester
The broadcaster holds exclusive rights to two major European showcase games in January 2027. San Antonio takes on the New Orleans Pelicans in Paris on January 14, 2027, followed by a second meeting in Manchester on January 17, 2027. The Paris matchup at Accor Arena starts at 8:00 p.m. local time, while the Manchester game tips off at 4:30 p.m. local time.
Prime Video Carries NBA Cup and Playoffs
Beyond the regular season schedule, Prime Video carries five Friday doubleheaders for the Emirates NBA Cup running from October 30 through November 27, 2026. Coverage continues through the knockout rounds to the tournament final on December 11, 2026. In the spring, the platform broadcasts the entire play-in tournament, half of the matchups for the first two rounds of the playoffs, and holds exclusive rights to the Eastern Conference Finals. The 2027 NBA Finals remain exclusive to beIN Sports in France, alongside alternative coverage through the NBA League Pass.
French and English Commentary Teams Join Broadcasts
French-language commentary on Prime Video features journalists Clément Halberstadt, Maximilien Le Liard, and Benoît Daniel. The broadcast desk relies on analysts Kevin Séraphin, Simon Darnauzan, Isabelle Yacoubou, and Diandra Tchatchouang. Viewers can switch the audio track to English for most broadcasts and access US studio shows featuring former players Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Blake Griffin, and Dwyane Wade.
