Xfinity<\/a> has been named the official TV service provider of both the National Basketball Association<\/a> (NBA) and the Women\u2019s National Basketball Association<\/a> (WNBA) under a multi-year partnership set to begin with the 2025\u201326 NBA season.<\/p>\n

The announcement, made jointly by the NBA, WNBA, and Comcast<\/a>, signals a significant step in integrating advanced viewing technologies with professional basketball\u2019s expanding digital ecosystem. The collaboration aims to transform the way fans access, watch, and engage with live basketball content across various platforms.<\/p>\n

As part of the agreement, Xfinity will launch dedicated NBA and WNBA Sports Zones that aggregate live games, highlights, and team-specific content across broadcast, cable, and streaming platforms, simplifying the fan experience and creating a centralized hub for basketball content.<\/p>\n

Fans will also benefit from Multiview, allowing up to four games to be viewed simultaneously on a single screen. The platform will feature low-latency streaming, providing smoother, real-time experiences through apps including Peacock<\/a>, ESPN+<\/a>, and Prime Video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The partnership encompasses more than 1,300 NBA games annually, as well as major events across both leagues, including the NBA All-Star Game<\/a>, the Emirates NBA Cup<\/a>, the WNBA Commissioner\u2019s Cup<\/a>, and other key tournaments. Xfinity will also serve as the presenting partner for select broadcasts and fan activations throughout the year.<\/p>\n

Jared Blechman, VP, Global Business Development, NBA, said, \u201cOur partnership with Xfinity offers an innovative way for fans to experience and watch NBA games. With features like Multiview and personalized Sports Zones, Xfinity is helping create a more immersive and seamless viewing experience that reflects how fans want to engage with the game today.\u201d<\/p>\n

WNBA Chief Growth Officer Colie Edison added, \u201cWNBA fans are engaging with the league in more dynamic ways than ever before, and Xfinity\u2019s innovative platform will only enhance that experience. By making it easier to find, watch, and engage with our games, this partnership brings the WNBA even closer to our fans and helps us build on the incredible momentum driving the league forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matt Lederer, Vice President of Brand Partnerships at Comcast, continued, \u201cBasketball fans want to feel like they\u2019re courtside every night \u2013 whether they\u2019re in their living room, on the road, or streaming from their phone \u2013 and Xfinity makes that possible. From seamless access to over 1,300 NBA games to Multiview, personalized Sports Zones, and low lag streaming, Xfinity is redefining how fans experience the NBA and WNBA. This partnership allows us to showcase the full power of our platform while delivering even more value, benefits, and unforgettable experiences to our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The partnership strengthens Xfinity\u2019s position in the competitive sports media landscape and complements its growing portfolio of team and arena partnerships, including Philadelphia 76ers<\/a>, Boston Celtics<\/a>, Golden State Warriors<\/a>, Minnesota Lynx<\/a>, and Washington Mystics, reinforcing the brand\u2019s connection with basketball fans at both national and local levels.<\/p>\n

By merging traditional television reach with modern streaming flexibility, the alliance between Xfinity, the NBA, and the WNBA marks a significant evolution in how technology, sports, and fan engagement intersect.<\/p>\n
