NBC Sports wants a package that would include playoff games to air on NBC’s broadcast network. As part of the deal NBC is seeking, they would also air some regular season games exclusively on Peacock. The NBA could also decide to force media companies to simulcast all games on streaming to increase reach.The NBA cannot engage formally with non-incumbent bidders until April 2024, though TNT and ESPN could waive their exclusive negotiation windows.
