SiriusXM and the National Basketball Association are keeping their relationship going strong. The two sides announced a multi-year renewal of their broadcasting agreement Tuesday. Ensuring fans across North America will continue to have access to every NBA game — from Opening Night to the Finals — on SiriusXM’s platforms.
The new deal allows listeners to follow the action in their cars and on the SiriusXM app, which offers live play-by-play of every game along with select WNBA broadcasts and exclusive programming on the 24/7 SiriusXM NBA Radio channel.
The timing of the announcement couldn’t be more fitting. The NBA tips off its new season tonight with an Opening Night doubleheader. The defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder hosting the Houston Rockets at 7:30 p.m. ET, followed by the Golden State Warriors visiting the Los Angeles Lakers at 10:00 p.m. ET.
Throughout the season, SiriusXM will continue offering fans complete coverage across its platforms. The SiriusXM app features 30 dedicated team channels. Each carrying official local radio commentary so fans can follow their favorite announcers for every matchup. Schedules and channel listings are available at SiriusXM.com/Sports.
Beyond the live games, SiriusXM NBA Radio remains the only channel devoted entirely to basketball talk and analysis.
The lineup includes weekday staples like The Starting Lineup with Frank Isola and former player Brian Scalabrine, Give and Go with Rob “World Wide Wob” Perez and Antonio Daniels, and NBA Today with Justin Termine and Eddie Johnson, the 1988-89 NBA Sixth Man of the Year.
Weekend programming features NBA Weekend with Brian Geltzeiler and former NBA Coach of the Year Sam Mitchell. Along with NBA Insiders hosted by Jason Jackson and former Phoenix Suns executive Amin Elhassan.
In a notable addition to the agreement, several SiriusXM NBA Radio programs — including The Starting Lineup and NBA Today — will also be simulcast on NBA TV and the NBA app. The cross-platform expansion will bring SiriusXM’s basketball analysis and insider access to an even wider audience.
The network’s roster features an impressive lineup of talent. This including former players and coaches Greg Anthony, Rosalyn Gold-Onwude, Sarah Kustok, Tim Legler, Rick Mahorn, Will Perdue, and Reggie Theus. Veteran broadcasters and reporters such as Gerald Brown, Vince Goodwill, Michael Grady, Zach Harper, and Mitch Lawrence round out the team.
During the WNBA season, SiriusXM NBA Radio also airs WNBA Central. Hosted by veteran broadcaster Holly Rowe, offering year-round coverage of the women’s game.
