BBC Sport's Ask Me Anything team explains the format of the NBA ahead of the start of the 2025-26 season starting on Tuesday

The NBA 2025-26 season opens this week. Here is what to know about opening night for NBA and the Phoenix Suns.

The Oklahoma City Thunder will try to do something that hasn't been done in the NBA since 2018 — repeat as champion.

The Thunder have a 2-0 start, but not the way most imagine. They survived a 125-124 2OT win over the Houston Rockets on Opening Night. A couple of days later, the Thunder had a 141-135 2OT win over the Indiana Pacers in a 2025 NBA Finals rematch.

Western Conference fans should appreciate NBC’s approach to its “Coast 2 Coast Tuesday” telecasts starting Oct. 28. In most weeks, NBC TV stations in the Western and Mountain time zones will get their own games in prime time at 8 p.m., rather than a 5 p.m. start time for an East Coast contest.
