The NBA and Disney have reached a massive multi-year media rights agreement, ensuring professional basketball remains on ESPN and ABC for the foreseeable future, according to Adam Schefter. Per @AdamSchefter, fans of Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs can expect "years" of continued coverage under the new arrangement.
The deal solidifies the long-term partnership between the league and its primary broadcast partner. According to Schefter, there is "plenty more to come" for viewers who follow "Wemby and Co.," as the network secures the rights to broadcast the league's top stars and marquee matchups well into the next decade.
This extension represents a cornerstone of the NBA's new media landscape, maintaining ESPN's role as a destination for the NBA Finals and significant postseason coverage. The agreement ensures that the league’s most-watched young talents, led by Wembanyama, will remain central to the network's sports programming for the duration of the multi-year contract.
