Celtics and Warriors to end national TV streak this season
Summary

The Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors will meet this season, concluding an 11-year streak of being nationally televised. Their first game on November 22, 2026, will not air on U.S. national television, breaking a record of 21 consecutive nationally televised regular-season games since the 2015-16 season. Despite the absence of national coverage, matchups between these teams have consistently drawn interest due to their historic rivalry and star players such as Steph Curry and Jayson Tatum. They will return to national TV for a later matchup in February 2027, starting a new streak.
