It is not just in the United States where the dissemination of the NBA changes. In France, Prime Video has thus recovered part of the rights, and the Amazon service promises 20 additional games in French “prime time”.
At the start, Prime Video had announced 66 regular season games (including 9 in French “prime time”), the final of the Emirates NBA Cup 2025, the Play-in 2026, half of the first and second round of the NBA Playoffs, a conference final but also the NBA 2026 finals.
From now on, we are talking about 29 posters in French “prime time”, probably all Sunday evening matches.

From October, the NBA will therefore be added to the live sports offer offered by Prime Video in France alongside Roland Garros, at no additional cost announced for the Prime members.
As for who will broadcast the rest of the NBA matches in France, it is still not acted, even if there is a good chance that beIN Sports Keeps part of the cake, as Florent Houzot, the editorial director of the Qatari channel, in words reported by the Team last week.
“It is, with Ligue 2, the only right disseminated without interruption since our creation in 2012, it is a premium right, important for us. We always chat with the NBA. Indeed, there is a new actor on this right but with a small volume of matches. If we end up finding an agreement, what I think and what I hope, we can continue to offer a very big blanket with matches every night and our Extra NBA magazine. It takes time but it does not mean that it is bad sign “ he assured.
