What happened: NBA on Prime starts its 2026-27 coverage Friday, Oct. 23 with a two-game slate. New York faces Boston in the early game, followed by Houston against San Antonio. Coverage begins at 6:30 p.m. ET.

Why it matters: The doubleheader launches Prime Video's national package for the upcoming season. It gives an early-season window into four rosters before the schedule widens. The pairings also set the service's opening-night audience for the year.

What to watch: Both games are set for Oct. 23. Final tip times and broadcast teams will follow in updated listings.
