Prime Video’s exclusive live coverage of the 2026 NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs tips off on June 4, 8:30 a.m. PHT in the Philippines. Prime Video today revealed the on-air broadcast team who will deliver studio analysis and play-by-play game coverage of the much-anticipated series, which concludes Prime Video’s inaugural season of global NBA coverage. Prime Video’s studio team will deliver English language coverage from the state-of-the-art NBA on Prime studio in Culver City, Los Angeles throughout the 2026 NBA Finals, combining Championship-winning expertise with a unique international perspective. A rotating cast of studio analysts across the series include Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famers Vlade Divac and Chris Bosh. Two of Europe’s generational talents, former Italian NBA star Danilo Gallinari and current Los Angeles Clippers guard Nicolas Batum, also join the team.
Bosh, an 11-time NBA All-Star, spent 13 seasons in the NBA. Known as part of the “Big Three,” Bosh helped the Miami Heat to back-to-back NBA Championships alongside LeBron James and Dwyane Wade in 2012 and 2013. Previously, Bosh served as an analyst for TNT’s Players Only program in the United States.
Batum has played 18 seasons so far in the NBA and has represented France on the global stage in four Olympic Games over the course of his career. The Olympic silver medalist has served in several broadcasting roles, including covering major international tournaments such as 2025 EuroBasket, and will provide an active player’s perspective for Prime Video’s Finals coverage.
Similarly, Gallinari will also leverage both his recent playing and broadcast experience to analyze the series for Prime’s global audience. Gallinari, who has played for the Knicks, finished his 16-season NBA career as the highest-scoring Italian player in the league’s history. Off the court, he has used his basketball IQ in guest analyst roles with Nuggets Radio, Team USA Olympics coverage, and the NBA G League.
Known as a pioneering European star in the NBA, Divac spent 16 seasons in the league. Following a Hall of Fame career, he spent seven years in front office roles, including as general manager for the Sacramento Kings. Divac will offer his experience as both a former player and team executive in the latter stages of Prime Video’s Finals coverage.
Allie Clifton will host the studio coverage, a seasoned broadcaster who also anchors Prime Video’s global coverage of the WNBA and is a sideline reporter for the NBA on Prime. NBA on Prime sideline reporter Kristina Pink returns for the 2026 NBA Finals coverage, capturing all of the action, interviews, and stories from courtside.
The New York Knicks are returning to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999, and in a dramatic rematch of that series they will face the San Antonio Spurs. Whilst the Spurs won the NBA Finals in 1999, the series also promises a rematch of this season’s NBA Cup Championship Game, which were broadcast live on Prime Video and saw the Knicks triumph. The Spurs’ dramatic Game 7 victory in the Western Conference Finals, powered by French superstar Victor Wembanyama, means this will be the eighth different franchise to win the NBA Championship in the last eight seasons, extending the longest stretch in NBA history. The 2026 NBA Finals tips off on Thursday, June 4 exclusively on Prime Video in the Philippines, with all games scheduled for 8:30 a.m. PHT.
