WBD Announces Rights Deal for Inside the NBA, Bleacher Report and House of Highlights

The NBA and Warner Bros. Discovery announced Monday an agreement on an 11-year deal that includes broadcasting rights for Inside the NBA and other league-related content.

TNT Sports will continue to produce Inside the NBA, but the legendary studio show will air on ESPN and ABC starting with the 2025-26 season.

In addition, TNT Sports, Bleacher Report and House of Highlights will have global rights on NBA content and highlights, while Warner Bros. Discovery has received telecast rights in a number of international markets. Those include Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Poland and parts of Latin America.

"Together these agreements ensure fans will continue to enjoy TNT's Inside the NBA and create tremendous value for our entire portfolio as we accelerate the growth of TNT Sports, Bleacher Report, House of Highlights and our global sports business," Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav said. "We are pleased to partner with the NBA and Disney/ESPN, and to have solidified long-term rights and revenue for WBD."

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver added that extending Inside the NBA's televised run "is a huge win for basketball fans everywhere."

"We look forward to building on our longstanding partnership with TNT Sports and working together to promote NBA content across key WBD and NBA platforms," he said.

TNT originally obtained the rights to NBA games in 1989. Since then, the network has been home to iconic moments throughout the regular season and playoffs, while Inside the NBA became one of the most revered studio programs in sports.

In July, the NBA announced it struck new media deals with the Walt Disney Company, NBCUniversal and Amazon Prime Video that will see games split across the three broadcasters.
