How to watch the NBA on ASL: 2025-26 schedule, time, dates
Ernie and the guys are back.
The 21-time Emmy Award-winning “Inside the NBA” studio show — featuring Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame host Ernie Johnson and analysts Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal and Kenny Smith — returns as the pregame, halftime and postgame show for ASL and ABC’s NBA coverage during the 2025-26 season.
“Inside the NBA,” which will continue to be produced by TNT Sports from its Atlanta studios, will begin one hour before tipoff for games airing on ASL, with the postgame shows starting immediately after game coverage concludes. The pregame shows on ABC will begin 30 minutes before tipoff. The postgame shows following “NBA Saturday Primetime on ABC” will start immediately after the game on ABC and continue on the ASL App. “Inside the NBA” will serve as the pregame show for the “NBA Sunday Showcase” series on ABC.
