Disney+ and ESPN to Stream NBA Games in Thailand Starting 2026-27
Disney+ and ESPN have announced a partnership to broadcast NBA games in Thailand beginning with the 2026-27 season.
According to Khaosod Online, Disney+ and ESPN have entered a partnership to bring live National Basketball Association (NBA) coverage to viewers in Thailand. Starting with the 2026-27 season, Disney+ subscribers will be able to access selected NBA games, including regular-season matchups, playoffs, conference finals, and the NBA Finals, through the ESPN hub on the platform.
This development is significant for basketball fans residing in or visiting Thailand, as it provides a streamlined, premium way to follow global basketball without needing additional sports-specific subscriptions. Beyond live games, the service will feature expert analysis and original programming, such as 'Pardon The Interruption,' 'NBA Tip Off,' and 'Inside the NBA,' all presented with English-language commentary.
While the announcement confirms the inclusion of this content within existing Disney+ membership packages, specific details regarding the exact number of games to be broadcast or potential regional blackouts for certain matches remain to be confirmed. This collaboration marks an expansion of the long-standing international relationship between ESPN and the NBA, aiming to enhance the sports viewing experience for the Thai audience.
