Hi, guys! I hope that you have enjoyed the 2026 NBA Playoffs presented by Google so far! The good news is that the playoff fun continues this week when the Conference Finals series tips off. We will have two best-of-seven series in this round, with one series being from the East and one series being from the West. The winners of these two series will compete in the 2026 NBA Finals presented by YouTube TV, a series that ABC will televise exclusively.

The 2026 NBA Western Conference Finals begin on Monday, May 18, with Game 1 of this highly anticipated best-of-seven series at 8:30 PM ET (7:30 PM CT local) on NBC and Peacock. 2026 Kia NBA Defensive Player of the Year Victor Wembanyama, 2024-25 Kia NBA Rookie of the Year Stephon Castle, and the San Antonio Spurs (2nd Seed) visit 2024-25 & 2025-26 Kia NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder (1st Seed) in Game 1.

Oklahoma City comes into the Western Conference Finals with a perfect 8-0 record, following successful sweeps of the Suns in the First Round and the Lakers in the Second Round. The Thunder aim to become the first Western Conference team since Stephen Curry’s Golden State Warriors in 2018 and 2019 to qualify for consecutive NBA Finals. Plus, Oklahoma City tries to become the first team to repeat as NBA champions since Curry’s Warriors in 2017 and 2018. Thunder G Shai Gilgeous-Alexander looks to finish off another tremendous season, a season that will see him win his second consecutive MVP award. Gilgeous-Alexander finished second in scoring this season (31.1 PPG).

In an implausible turnaround, the Spurs have gone from losing 60 games in the 2023-24 season to winning 62 in the 2025-26 season. The Spurs are back in the Western Conference Finals for the first time since 2017, when they were swept by the Warriors, who went on to win the NBA Championship that season. Spurs F/C Victor Wembanyama is in the midst of a special season, highlighted by Wemby becoming the youngest player to win Defensive Player of the Year (and being the first person to win this prestigious award unanimously). With Wemby leading the way alongside some of his brothers, 2024-25 Kia NBA Rookie of the Year Stephon Castle, 2025 NBA Draft No. 2 overall pick Dylan Harper, and 2026 NBA All-Star De’Aaron Fox, San Antonio attempts to dethrone the reigning champions and advance to their first NBA Finals since 2014.

Live coverage begins at 7:30 PM ET with NBA Showtime on Peacock live from Paycom Center in Oklahoma City. NBC Sports’ Maria Taylor hosts pregame and postgame coverage alongside a cast of Hall of Famers, including Tracy McGrady, Carmelo Anthony, and Vince Carter. NBA Showtime will then transition to NBC and Peacock at 8:00 PM ET. NBA Showtime will also serve as the postgame program following every Western Conference Finals game. NBA Showtime will be on-site for every game during the Western Conference Finals.

Mike Tirico (play-by-play), calling his first-ever full Conference Final series on television, is joined by Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer Reggie Miller (analyst) and three-time Sixth Man of the Year Jamal Crawford (analyst) for the Spurs vs. Thunder Western Conference Final series. On the sidelines for all Western Conference Finals games will be Zora Stephenson (reporter) and Ashley ShahAhmadi (reporter).

The 2026 NBA Eastern Conference Finals start on Tuesday, May 19, as Jarrett Allen, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley and the Cleveland Cavaliers (4th Seed) battle Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Karl-Anthony Towns and the New York Knicks (3rd Seed) in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals from Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York, at 8:00 PM ET on ESPN.

The Knicks are 8-2 in the 2026 NBA Playoffs after sweeping the 76ers in Eastern Conference Semifinals and beating the Hawks in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals in six games (after trailing 2-1 in the series). Seven of these wins have come via double-digits, meaning that New York typically dominates and tires out their opponents.

Cleveland, meanwhile, needed seven games each to eliminate Toronto in the first round and Detroit in the second round.

The Knicks won two out of the three regular-season meetings between the clubs. 

NBA Tip-Off, presented by AT&T, will serve as ESPN’s pregame show for every Eastern Conference Finals game, featuring the familiar panel of Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Shaquille O’Neal from Turner Studios in Atlanta. Four-time NBA champion Draymond Green will join the cast for select editions during the Eastern Conference Finals. After the game, stay tuned for Inside the NBA presented by McDonald’s for top-tier postgame analysis from the experts who played basketball so well for so many years.

Mike Breen (play-by-play), 2016 NBA Champion Richard Jefferson (analyst), NBA veteran Tim Legler (analyst) & Lisa Salters (reporter) will call the Cavaliers-Knicks Eastern Conference Finals.

If any additional games are needed after Game 4 of each respective conference finals, those games will be played between Tuesday, May 26, and Sunday, May 31.

2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs presented by GEICO — Conference Finals Television Schedule & Commentators

| ⏵ Saturday, May 16, 2026

🟆 Highlights:

• The Conference Final round opens on Wednesday, May 20, as the Vegas Golden Knights and the Colorado Avalanche get together to begin their best-of-seven Western Conference Finals showdown at 8:00 PM ET on ESPN.

• The Eastern Conference Finals will start on Thursday, May 21, when the Carolina Hurricanes host the Sabres-Canadiens series winner at 8:00 PM ET on TNT and truTV.

• ESPN/ABC to broadcast the Western Conference Finals while TNT/truTV will handle the Eastern Conference Finals.

• Sean McDonough, Ray Ferraro & Emily Kaplan will cover the Golden Knights-Avalanche Western Conference Final.

• Kenny Albert, Eddie Olczyk, Brian Boucher, & Jackie Redmond will cover the Canadiens-Hurricanes Eastern Conference Final.

The 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs presented by GEICO continue next week with the Conference Finals, featuring two best-of-seven series between the last two remaining teams in the Eastern and Western Conferences, respectively. Following this, we will have the 2026 Stanley Cup Final matchup, which will be seen exclusively on ABC (their third Stanley Cup Final under the current television contract).

The Western Conference Final sees the Vegas Golden Knights face off against the Colorado Avalanche for the Western Conference title. In the East, the Carolina Hurricanes are set to battle the Sabres-Canadiens winner for the Eastern Conference championship. On this page, we will provide you with series previews of both series, a series breakdown for both sides, and finally, the daily television schedule for the Western Conference Final and the Eastern Conference Final. With that in mind, let’s get started!

Mitch Marner and the Vegas Golden Knights (P1) travel to Denver, CO to open up their Western Conference Final matchup against Nathan MacKinnon and the Colorado Avalanche (C1) on Wednesday, May 20 at 8:00 PM ET (6:00 PM local) on ESPN. Sean McDonough (play-by-play), Ray Ferraro (analyst) & Emily Kaplan (insider/reporter) provide commentary for the Golden Knights-Avalanche Western Conference Final.

This is the second postseason meeting between the Avalanche and Golden Knights, with Colorado claiming victory in the 2021 second-round series between the clubs.

The Avalanche won the Stanley Cup back in 2022, besting the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Stanley Cup Final. Colorado appears in the Conference Final for the first time since then. Colorado has been sent home in the first round in two of the past three seasons.

The Golden Knights then followed the Avalanche as Stanley Cup champions in 2023, defeating the Florida Panthers in that year’s Stanley Cup Final. The following season, Vegas was eliminated in the first round. Last year, the Golden Knights were defeated by the Oilers in a five-game second-round series.

ESPN will surround the Western Conference Final with studio programming. “The Point”, ESPN’s weekly NHL program, will precede ALL Western Conference Final games that air on ESPN. Steve Levy hosts alongside analysts Mark Messier and P.K. Subban. Reporter Leah Hextall will provide updates from the Montréal-Carolina Eastern Conference Final throughout pregame and intermission coverage.

Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final is scheduled for Thursday, May 21, at 8:00 PM ET on TNT and truTV as Seth Jarvis and the Carolina Hurricanes (M1) welcome Alex Newhook and the Montreal Canadiens (A3) to the Lenovo Center in Raleigh, North Carolina. Kenny Albert (play-by-play) will call the Canadiens-Hurricanes Eastern Conference Final alongside analysts Eddie Olczyk and Brian Boucher, with Jackie Redmond reporting throughout the series.

The Hurricanes storm into their third Eastern Conference Final series in four seasons, this time sporting an undefeated 8-0 postseason record (sweeps over the Senators & Flyers in the first two rounds). Seth Jarvis, Logan Stankoven, and the Hurricanes are trying to win their second Stanley Cup championship since moving to Raleigh back in 1997 (2005-06 was their last championship).

With a young and exciting roster, the Canadiens have returned to the Eastern Conference Final. Montreal needed seven games to eliminate the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round, followed by the Buffalo Sabres in the second round. The Habs look to claim their first Stanley Cup (and Canada’s for that matter) since the 1992-93 season. The Canadiens seek to continue this story, led by Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, and Lane Hutson.

Turner Sports’ Eastern Conference Final coverage will be bolstered by pregame and postgame programming from the site of the Eastern Conference Final. Liam McHugh hosts studio shows alongside hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, Hall of Famer Henrik Lundqvist, 10-year NHL veteran Anson Carter & Calder Cup champion Paul Bissonnette.

If any additional games are needed after Game 4 of each respective conference finals, those games will be played between Thursday, May 28, and Tuesday, June 2.

Further details about both Conference Final series will be provided when available.

🟅 Highlights:

• The first-ever NFL regular season game in Australia — San Francisco 49ers vs. Los Angeles Rams — will be on Thursday, September 10 at 8:35 PM ET. 

Netflix’s NFL offerings are set to grow beginning in 2026, with more games, holidays, and divisional rivalries, from the opening week of the regular season through the regular season’s conclusion in Week 18.

Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season features the league’s first-ever regular-season game in Australia on Thursday, September 10, as Mike Evans and the San Francisco 49ers are set to battle Davante Adams and the Los Angeles Rams in a NFC West showdown from the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne, Australia (8:35 PM ET).

Going into the holiday season, Netflix is your home for the first-ever Thanksgiving Eve game on Wednesday, November 25.

Continuing Netflix’s new Christmas Day tradition, Netflix will stream a pair of live NFL games on Christmas Day — Friday, December 25. To lead things off, Edgerrin Cooper and the Green Bay Packers clash with Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears in an NFC North matchup at 1:00 PM ET/12:00 PM CT. Later in the afternoon, we will see a 2025 AFC Divisional Playoff rematch as DJ Moore and the Buffalo Bills square off against Pat Surtain II and the Denver Broncos at 4:30 PM ET/2:30 PM MT.

A new wrinkle in the Netflix schedule is the addition of a Saturday Week 18 game on January 9. This game, featuring a matchup to be announced later, will kick off at 1:00 PM ET, with teams in the playoff hunt (hopefully).

Netflix has recently announced a four-year partnership with the National Football League (NFL), which will see Netflix stream a Week 1 game, a Thanksgiving Eve game, at least one Christmas Day game, and the Week 18 regular-season Saturday matchup.

2026 NFL on CBS Schedule

The current logo used for CBS Sports’ NFL broadcasts (2021-present). (WNKY)

| ► Tuesday, May 12, 2026

🟅 Highlights:

• A riveting 2026 schedule as the “NFL on CBS” begins its 67th season on the air, highlighted by a first-rate 4:25 PM ET doubleheader selection of games.

• NFL’s most-watched package is the lead home for the American Football Conference (AFC), its star QB’s, and television’s top window (4:25 PM ET games).

• 4:25 PM ET CBS doubleheader games are spearheaded by the Chiefs (4), Bills, Cowboys, Broncos, 49ers, and Bears.

• Marquee Week 15 slate includes Bears vs. Bills on Saturday at 8:20 PM ET, Ravens vs. Steelers Sunday at 1:00 PM ET & Cowboys vs. Rams Sunday at 4:25 PM ET (1:25 PM PT local).

• More than 100 regular-season games and a full lineup of postseason action, culminating with the network’s presentation of the 2026 AFC Championship on Sunday, January 31 at 6:30 PM ET.

CBS Sports, which has been the primary television home for the AFC since 1998, has disclosed its 2026 NFL on CBS schedule, its 67th covering NFL games every week. Building on last year’s historic ratings, CBS Sports continues its mission to deliver top-quality NFL content across multiple platforms, including linear television (CBS Television Network) and streaming (Paramount+). Over 100 regular-season games will air on CBS during the 2026 NFL season.

In 2025, the NFL on CBS achieved its highest regular-season performance to date, breaking viewership records with the NFL’s premier overall package, which drew 21.252 million viewers. The network also recorded a remarkable 25.827 million viewers for the national game at 4:25 PM ET, and the Chiefs-Cowboys matchup on Thanksgiving garnered an impressive 57.231 million viewers, according to Nielsen ratings.

The NFL on CBS playoff lineup includes a Wild Card playoff game, the Divisional Playoff matchup, and finally, the AFC Championship Game. All games will be broadcast on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+ in the team’s local markets.

TV’s Most-Watched Program includes Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs four times & Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys twice in the National Game Window at 4:25 PM ET:

The NFL’s national game window on CBS, scheduled for 4:25 PM ET, has consistently ranked as the most-watched television slot for the past three years, averaging nearly 26 million viewers during the last season. This season, CBS Sports will present 10 national Sunday doubleheader windows, featuring the Kansas City Chiefs four times and the Dallas Cowboys twice.

Overall, CBS Sports’ national game windows — including Thanksgiving (#CHIvsDET) and Week 15 Saturday Primetime (#CHIvsBUF) — will feature multiple appearances by the Chiefs (4 games) and the Bills, Cowboys, Broncos, 49ers, and Bears (2 games each).

The 4:25 PM ET national window debuts for the 2026 season on CBS with the Packers-Vikings Week 1 NFC North game (Sunday, September 13), and will have some of the biggest matchups on the NFL calendar, including Ravens-Cowboys from Rio de Janeiro in Week 3, Chiefs-Broncos in Week 8, Steelers-Eagles in Week 11, Bills-Patriots in Week 13, Cowboys-Rams in Week 15 & 49ers-Chiefs in Week 16.

The NFL on CBS goes into the home stretch of the regular season on a high note, with a national doubleheader in three of the regular season’s last four weeks (Week 15, Week 16 & Week 18).

Blockbuster Week 15 Schedule includes TWO national games — Bears vs. Bills on Saturday night and Cowboys vs. Rams on Sunday afternoon:

When the race towards postseason play heats up, CBS Sports is proud to announce that it will have TWO national games during Week #15. 

This year, CBS Sports has announced an exclusive Saturday night primetime window on Saturday, December 19, as D’Andre Swift and the Chicago Bears visit Dion Dawkins and the Buffalo Bills at 8:20 PM ET.

The following day, NFC heavyweights meet at SoFi Stadium as CeeDee Lamb and the Dallas Cowboys travel out west for a conference tilt with Trent McDuffie and the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, December 20, at 4:25 PM ET (1:25 PM PT local). Leading the Sunday Week 15 slate is a classic AFC North division matchup as the Ravens face the Steelers at 1:00 PM ET.

NFL on CBS Schedule Has More Games With AFC’s Top Clubs Than Any Other Network and Strong Lineup of NFC Teams:

As the lead home for AFC games, the NFL on CBS will feature the AFC’s top teams regularly throughout the season.

The Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots, and the Pittsburgh Steelers are all slated to appear nine times on CBS — three times as many as any other network — with the Baltimore Ravens and Denver Broncos each getting 10 appearances on CBS. The Chiefs enter 2026 with four 4:25 PM ET national games on CBS.

CBS Sports’ 2026 NFL schedule will also have a regular presence of NFC teams. The San Francisco 49ers, Chicago Bears, and Detroit Lions get three games each on the network. The defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks, the Dallas Cowboys, the Philadelphia Eagles, and the Los Angeles Rams will each compete twice on the station. The Packers get a Week 1 national game on CBS for the second straight year.

NFC North Rivalry -- Bears vs. Lions -- Gets Thanksgiving Slate Underway:

The NFL on CBS announced its return to Detroit this Thanksgiving for a late-season divisional rivalry matchup, with Amon-Ra St. Brown and the Detroit Lions taking on Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears (Thursday, November 26, at 1:00 PM ET). Over the past three seasons, both teams have claimed the NFC North title, with the Bears securing the division crown last year (2025) and the Lions winning it in the two preceding seasons (2023-24).

AFC’s Star Quarterbacks In The Spotlight All Season Long:

As the primary television partner for the AFC, CBS Sports’ 2026 NFL schedule is filled with plenty of looks at some of the AFC’s top quarterbacks, including Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs), Joe Burrow (Bengals), Lamar Jackson (Ravens), CJ Stroud (Texans), Bo Nix (Broncos), Justin Herbert (Chargers) & Drake Maye (Patriots).

Featured Games In The 1:00 PM ET and 4:05 PM ET Windows:

The schedule has plenty of compelling games in the 1:00 PM ET and 4:05 PM ET windows, featuring playoff teams, division rivalries, and interconference battles.

Among some of these contests are Bills-Texans (Week 1), Steelers-Patriots (Week 2), Bengals-Steelers (Week 3), Patriots-Bills (Week 4), Broncos-Chargers (Week 5), Panthers-Eagles (Week 6), Bengals-Ravens (Week 7), Ravens-Bills (Week 8), Chiefs-Falcons (Week 10), Ravens-Texans (Week 12), Texans-Commanders (Week 14) & Ravens-Steelers (Week 15).
