NBC Adds Vince Carter, Carmelo Anthony for NBA 2025 Coverage

NBC is preparing for the NBA's return to its network and Peacock starting with the 2025-26 season by assembling a star-studded broadcast team that includes Hall of Famer Vince Carter as a studio analyst alongside Carmelo Anthony. Carter, who played 22 NBA seasons and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2024, expressed excitement about joining the coverage team and delivering top-tier analysis for fans. The NBA returns to NBC after over 20 years, following an 11-year broadcast deal announced in July 2024, which includes national games streaming on Peacock Monday nights and regional doubleheaders on NBC and Peacock Tuesdays, with plans for Sunday Night Basketball starting in 2026. In addition to Carter and Anthony, NBC has also added Michael Jordan as a special contributor, along with game analysts Reggie Miller and Jamal Crawford, and play-by-play announcers Mike Tirico and Noah Eagle. Carter brings significant broadcasting experience from his work with ESPN and TNT since retiring in 2020, complementing NBC's efforts to provide comprehensive NBA coverage. This revamped broadcast team marks a significant moment in NBC's renewed partnership with the NBA, aiming to offer fans extensive and expert basketball content.
