NBA restart TV schedule, live stream, format and complete list of fixtures

On March 11, the NBA became the first major US sports league to suspend the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The league will resume the 2019-20 season at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida on July 30. Twenty-two teams at the bubble will play eight seeding games each before the playoffs scheduled in August. The Milwaukee Bucks are currently leading the league with a 53-12 win-loss record, followed by the Los Angeles Lakers in second place at 49-14.

If needed, the teams will play a play-in tournament to decide the final playoffs spot. The playoffs series will remain the same, followed by the finals. If a Game 7 is needed to conclude the season, the season will be extended till October 12. Each team played three inter-squad scrimmages before the official resumption of the league, some of which were broadcast nationally in the USA. Like the exhibition games, the NBA will broadcast some games nationally. Other games will be available to stream on NBA TV, and will also be broadcast locally.
