The NBA anticipates launching a centralized local team broadcast for the 2027-28 season, Silver said, as it navigates a rocky local broadcast situation. Main Street Sports Group, which broadcast games locally for 13 NBA teams, stopped operations at the end of this season. That has left teams looking to a combination of over-the-air and streaming options to get on screens this upcoming season. Silver said the NBA will piecemeal a solution for the 2026-27 season and launch a local League Pass the next year, as it has long planned to do. It will look to sell the collective local rights for a number of teams. “We’ll cobble together a series of solutions for this season, but I feel good that we’ll have something on a national basis for the following year,” Silver said.New York Times
