The NBA is formalizing media rights contracts with ESPN, NBC and Amazon. These deals are expected to be finalized within the next week. Deals with the three providers are expected to return over $7 billion per year for the NBA.
ESPN will get the "A" package, which will include the NBA Finals, a Conference Final, weekly primetime games, WNBA games and likely shared international rights.
NBC will get the "B" which will include an exclusive "Basketball Night in America" on Sunday nights after the NFL season, a Conference Final, conference semi-finals, and two primetime windows per week.
Amazon's package is expected to include the NBA Cup (In-Season Tournament), the Play-In Tournament, first-round playoff games, WNBA games and shared international rights.
Warner Brother's Discovery may enact legal action over the rights. It's believed that the TNT parent company could contest its right to match the NBC deal. The NBA and WBD apparently have different definitions of what matching a deal would consist of.
