Houston Rockets 2026–27 TV Schedule

Every game, every network — and exactly what it costs to watch.

The Houston Rockets tip off the 2026–27 season at home against the Dallas Mavericks on Oct 21. Of their 82 games, 25 are national broadcasts — 5 games on ESPN/ABC, 11 on NBC/Peacock, 5 on Prime Video, and 4 on NBA TV — while the remaining 55 air locally. Local games air on Space City Home Network. National games land on ESPN/ABC, NBC/Peacock, and Prime Video in year two of the NBA's new media deals, and out-of-market fans can stream every non-national game with NBA League Pass.
