The NBA and Warner Bros. Discovery have unveiled their post-lawsuit settlement and the gains for both sides from renewing their agreement with an 11-year deal.

Warners negotiated a new pact for live NBA games, including regular season and playoff match-ups. And the major studio gets some international NBA games to accelerate TNT Sports growth globally, and expanded clips rights to promote league content.

WBD, the parent company of TNTSports,sued the NBAin New York state court after theleague did not acceptthe companys matching offer for one of the packages. With that legal action ended, a new 11-year media rights deal starting with the 2025-26 season has been unveiled on Monday.

TNT Sports, an NBA rights holder since 1984, also gets from ESPN Big 12 football 13 games each season and 15 mens basketball games annually, starting with the 2025 season.

That makes ESPN president Jimmy Pitaro a big winner in the post-settlement deal, as The Hollywood Reporter has learned he was pivotal to bringing the NBA over to reach a deal with WBD as legacy media platforms everywhere look to live TV sports to offset a decline in traditional TV viewership.

WBD will also expand the reach of sports digital brands like Bleacher Report and House of Highlights as TNT Sports and its brand portfolio secures a global license to create, produce and distribute new and existing NBA content across its platforms.

That comes with promotion, sales and creative opportunities across the NBA and WBD platforms.
