The broadcaster’s coverage began last night when it aired the Detroit Pistons’ 122-111 win over the Washington Wizards.
Throughout the season, Rush Sports will show a selection of live games from the regular-season, playoffs, and the Conference Finals series.
The network will broadcast live games on Mondays and/or Tuesdays, together with selected Sunday nights beginning in February, 2027.
Additional shoulder programming will include player and team features, Caribbean-focused stories, regular tune-in information, and special coverage around key NBA moments.
The main package of NBA rights in the region is held by media giant NBCUniversal through its 11-year deal with the league covering multiple territories.
The NBA features several players with Caribbean roots, including VJ Edgecombe (Philadelphia 76ers), Buddy Hield (Chicago Bulls), and Deandre Ayton (Washington Wizards) from the Bahamas and Jose Alvarado (New York Knicks) from Puerto Rico.
Michael Look Tong, Caribbean Premier Sports CEO, said: “This is an exciting new chapter for Rush Sports and for basketball fans across the Caribbean. The NBA has an incredibly passionate following throughout our region, together with strong Caribbean connections across the league.
“With this collaboration, we are bringing fans closer to the teams, players and moments they love, while also celebrating the Caribbean stories that are part of today’s NBA.”
Arnon de Mello, NBA Latin America & Canada managing director, added: “The Caribbean is home to some of the most passionate basketball fans in the world, and the region’s connection to our league, from the fans in the stands to the players on the court, continues to grow stronger every season.
“Through this collaboration with CPSL, we are bringing live NBA action to more fans across the Caribbean than ever before.”
The 2026-27 NBA regular season will end on April 11 before the playoffs begin on April 17. The campaign will conclude with the NBA Finals in June.
