Disney has announced exciting details about its coverage of the upcoming 2025-26 NBA season, marking the first full season to be available on ESPN via Disney+ in Australia and New Zealand. Fans can look forward to a thrilling lineup of NBA action, from the opening tip-off all the way through to the NBA Finals.
Disney+ will offer at least 240 regular-season NBA games, along with an enhanced game package covering the First and Second Rounds of the NBA Playoffs. Viewers won’t miss a moment of the high-stakes action, as all NBA Conference Finals and NBA Finals games will also be available on the platform.
In addition to the games, Disney+ will deliver ESPN’s full coverage of major NBA and WNBA events, including the All-Star Weekends, NBA Draft, and WNBA Draft. Subscribers will also gain access to the most comprehensive NBA news, analysis, and expert commentary throughout the season.
This new season marks the beginning of a landmark 11-year partnership between ESPN and the NBA, securing ESPN’s position as ‘Your Home for Hoops’ and the premier destination for the most extensive NBA and WNBA content in the region.
To launch this exciting NBA season, Disney+ has enlisted Australian basketball star Dyson Daniels, currently with the Atlanta Hawks. Daniels, who has quickly risen in profile, brings his growing fanbase to ESPN’s ‘Your Home for Hoops’. After a breakout 2024/25 season following his move from the New Orleans Pelicans to Atlanta, Daniels claimed the NBA’s Most Improved Player Award. Known for his defensive prowess, he set NBA records for steals and tipped passes, earning the nickname ‘The Great Barrier Thief’.
Basketball enthusiasts will have the chance to follow Dyson Daniels’ journey on the court, both for the Atlanta Hawks and the Australian Boomers, while enjoying all the biggest moments of the NBA season.
