Prime Video has been eliminated from the 2026 NBA Playoffs

Now that we go into the conference finals, the Western Conference Finals will be shown on NBC and Peacock, while the Eastern Conference Finals will be shown on ABC and ESPN. The NBA Finals will be shown on ABC.

EDIT: For clarification, all of the WCF games will be shown on both NBC proper and Peacock. All of the ECF games will be shown on ESPN except Game 3 which will be shown on ABC, probably because it's on Saturday. This also only applies to US viewers, other countries have their own thing going on.

Imagine being the Celtics though

Yeah, the Raptors lost and we were all bummed out, sure. But the Raptors lost in 7 games to the Cavaliers, who went on to beat the 1-seed Pistons in 7 games.

But then you have the Celtics, who were up 3-1 against the Sixers with games 5 and 7 at home, and they pull a Doc Rivers and lose to the usually inept Sixers. And then the Sixers go on to get swept by the Knicks.

Probably sucks being the Celtics, is all I'm saying.

I was looking at this week's playoff game schedule and saw this and thought it was interesting. I can't remember a Raptors playoff game ever taking "priority" over another game in a similar timeslot in the first round (even the Kawhi Raptors got the NBA TV treatment). Probably speaks to the fact that there's just more star power in the Raptors-Cavs series.

Obviously something like this doesn't really matter since most of us will be watching Sportsnet's coverage of the game and the "prestige" that ESPN carries over Prime probably doesn't matter to a lot of people anyway, but ESPN probably still draws more eyeballs than Prime does in the US so the casual NBA fan might be more likely to watch Raps-Cavs as a result.
