The National Basketball Association (NBA) is planning to sign the highest amount of media contracts for the longest period ever.

"The NBA's longest-ever media contract of $76 billion about 104.8952 trillion won will start from the 2025-26 season."

"NBA games will continue to be broadcast on ESPN and ABC, and some will be on NBC and Amazon Prime. TNT Sports could be kicked out," the media said. "This contract only leaves the approval of the NBA's board of directors."
