On Saturday, the NBA released the schedule for the second round of the 2026 playoffs, featuring tip times and television networks for the games.
The Western Conference second-round matchups have already been decided, featuring the Oklahoma City Thunder vs. the Los Angeles Lakers, and the San Antonio Spurs vs the Minnesota Timberwolves.
But the Eastern Conference still has three first-round series taking place, with matchups between the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers (Saturday), Detroit Pistons and Orlando Magic (Sunday), and Cleveland Cavaliers and Toronto Raptors (Sunday) all going to a Game 7.
So, the Eastern Conference side of things is to be determined, but the NBA still released the television schedule for hypothetical matchups.
Here’s a look at the television schedule for the conference semifinals (all times are Eastern; an asterisk* indicates “if necessary” for the best-of-seven series):
The second round matchups in the Western Conference are Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs vs. Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Game 7s for the Eastern Conference will feature Boston Celtics vs. Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday and Detroit Pistons vs. Orlando Magic and Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Toronto Raptors on Sunday.
The NBA has released the TV schedule, but specific networks for each game have not been detailed in the provided information.
