The Walt Disney Company’s streaming sports platform Fubo has inked a deal with several local television broadcasters to bring their channels into the service, expanding the availability of National Basketball Association (NBA) games during the 2026-27 season.

The deal includes agreements with Gray Media, the E. W. Scripps Company, Griffin Media and Berkshire Hathaway to offer simulcasts of their over-the-air feeds on the streaming service, which will allow Fubo to carry locally-televised games from six more NBA teams: The Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets, Detroit Pistons, Miami Heat, Oklahoma City Thunder and Orlando Magic.

Games from the Milwaukee Bucks will also be offered on Fubo through a separate, team-specific agreement announced this week. Carriage of Los Angeles Clippers games were previously announced as part of a similar deal, Fubo said.

Through existing local carriage agreements, Fubo will also offer games from the Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, Chicago Bulls, Dallas Mavericks, Denver Nuggets, Golden State Warriors, New Orleans Pelicans, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers, Phoenix Suns, Portland Trail Blazers, Sacramento Kings, Utah Jazz and Houston Rockets.

Fubo carries some traditional, cable-owned regional sports networks like NBC Sports (previously Comcast SportsNet), Space City Home Network, CHSN, YES Network and MSG Network, though with more games moving away from regional cable networks in favor of direct streaming and broadcast TV, Fubo has prioritized inking one-off deals with broadcasters to incorporate more local coverage of premium athletic competitions.

The streamer also has deals with Comcast’s NBC Universal, Skydance’s CBS and Fox Corporation for its broadcast and cable networks, allowing the service to offer National Football League (NFL) and most Major League Baseball (MLB) and National Hockey League (NHL) games. Disney’s ESPN multiplex and ABC stations and affiliates are offered through Fubo as well.
