The NBA has finalized an 11-year media rights deal worth $76 billion with ESPN, NBC, and Amazon Prime Video. Under the new agreements, ESPN will retain the rights to broadcast the NBA Finals, while NBC and Amazon will become new partners.

The agreements are expected to be approved by the respective TV network boards, and the deal clears the way for possible expansion opportunities.
