The NBA on NBC is the branding used for presentations of National Basketball Association (NBA) games produced by NBC Sports.
The NBA was first televised by NBC from 1954 to 1962. In 1990, the NBA returned to NBC under a multi-year contract. Its contract coincided with the dynastic run of Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls; the league rose to unprecedented popularity, with ratings surpassing the days of Magic Johnson and Larry Bird in the mid-1980s. NBC's coverage ended after the 2001–02 season after a 12-year run, when network was outbid for the broadcast television contract by Disney (via ABC).
In July 2024, it was announced that NBCUniversal had regained rights to the NBA under a new contract beginning in the 2025–26 season, which will see coverage on NBC and streaming platform Peacock.
