The retail powerhouse is paying $1.8 billion for the long-term deal and will distribute NBA games globally on Prime Video, with an expanded package of games in select territories, including Mexico, Brazil, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, the UK, and Ireland.
This expanded package includes a minimum of 20 additional primetime regular-season games each year, a Conference Finals series annually, and the NBA Finals in six of the 11 years.

The deal with Amazon adds to Mediapro’s vast portfolio of sports partnerships. The group operates across four continents and delivers services to several major sports confederations, including FIBA, UEFA, FIFA, CAF, CONMEBOL, CONCACAF, and AFC.
