TNT has held the rights to broadcast NBA games since 1989, making it TNT's longest-running regular program and sporting event, dating back to only a year after TNT's launch on October 3, 1988. In July 2024, the NBA signed new 11-year media deals with ESPN/ABC, NBC, and Amazon Prime Video. TNT's current contract with the NBA will end at the conclusion of the 2024–25 season. During the regular season, TNT airs games on Tuesday nights and Thursday nights.
