Tip-off begins late at 12:30am BST October 25, 2025, with two thrilling matchups to begin.
First, the New York Knicks take on the Boston Celtics. If you're still awake at 3:00am, you can catch the Minnesota Timberwolves competing against the Los Angeles Lakers.

When the regular season ends, your NBA access keeps going. Prime Video also has the rights to show the 2026 SoFi Play-In Tournament, so you can watch vital qualification matches that decide which teams make the playoffs.
You'll then get access to about a third of all first and second-round playoff games, plus access to the entire Conference Finals series. That means you can follow your team's journey towards the championship without missing the big moments.
Live game coverage isn't the only sports content you can enjoy with Prime Video, either. You can view critically acclaimed documentaries such as Sven, Four Kings, Ben Stokes: Phoenix From The Ashes, and more
