Who are NBA's broadcasters for 2021-22 season? Full list of national and regional play-by-play and analysts for NBA 75 image

Wondering how to watch your favourite team on television during the NBA's historic 75th anniversary season? 

NBA TV is the national station set to broadcast most games with 107 games, while the ESPN network, showing games on ESPN and ABC, has a total of 101 while TNT has 65.  

The league's landmark 2021-22 season will see the first-ever female full-time TV play-by-play announcer among major men's pro leagues in Lisa Byington, who joins the Milwaukee Bucks broadcasting crew on Bally Sports Wisconsin. Less than a month after that announcement, it was revealed that she would have company in Kate Scott, who joined the NBC Sports Philadelphia's broadcasting team as their play-by-play announcer. 

Sporting News has you covered with every network's broadcast groups for all NBA telecasters, both regionally and on the national stations.
