ESPN and ABC will primarily cover games on Sundays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays during the 2025-26 regular season. "Inside the NBA" will serve as ESPN's main pregame, halftime and postgame show for its biggest events, but "NBA Countdown" will still air before select games.

The program will continue to be produced by TNT Sports from its Atlanta studios and will feature the longtime cast of host Ernie Johnson and analysts Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal and Kenny Smith.
