2026 NBA Playoffs

⚠️ Important: Your team's local channel doesn't show playoffs

Unlike the regular season — where most games air on your team's local RSN (FanDuel Sports Network, Spectrum SportsNet, NBC Sports Bay Area, etc.) — all 2026 NBA Playoff games are national broadcasts only. If you only subscribed to a streaming bundle for your team's local RSN, you'll need to add ESPN/ABC access (via Hulu Live or similar), Peacock, or Prime Video to keep watching.
