The wait is over for basketball fans.

The 2026 NBA Finals are underway, with the New York Knicks making their first championship appearance since 1999 and facing off against the San Antonio Spurs in a highly anticipated rematch.

Ahead of the series, Prime Video revealed the broadcast team that will lead its exclusive NBA Finals coverage in the Philippines. The announcement was made during an NBA Finals watch party that brought together media, creators, and members of the local basketball community to celebrate the league’s biggest stage.

The lineup includes NBA champions and basketball veterans Chris Bosh, Vlade Divac, Danilo Gallinari, and Nicolas Batum, who will provide analysis throughout the Finals. Hosting the studio coverage is Allie Clifton, while veteran reporter Kristina Pink will deliver courtside updates, interviews, and behind-the-scenes stories from the championship series.

The Finals also mark the conclusion of Prime Video’s inaugural season of global NBA coverage. Broadcasts will be anchored from the NBA on Prime studio in Los Angeles, bringing together former champions, international stars, and active players to offer different perspectives on the league’s biggest stage.

For Knicks fans, the matchup marks a long-awaited return to the Finals after more than two decades. Standing in their way are the Spurs, led by French superstar Victor Wembanyama, who secured their Finals berth following a dramatic Game 7 victory in the Western Conference Finals.

The championship series also serves as a rematch of this season’s NBA Cup Championship Game, where the Knicks emerged victorious. Regardless of the outcome, the Finals will continue the NBA’s recent trend of parity, with the league guaranteed to crown its eighth different champion in the last eight seasons.

Filipino viewers can catch the remainder of the 2026 NBA Finals exclusively on Prime Video, with live coverage at 8:30 a.m. PHT. As the Knicks and Spurs battle for the championship, Prime Video brings together former players, international stars, and seasoned broadcasters to cover one of the NBA’s most anticipated matchups in recent years.
