2020 NBA Summer Series on ABC and ESPN Schedule

2020 was the 44th straight season that a Summer Series was contested. ESPN and ABC teamed up to televise every single Summer Series matchup for the 18th consecutive season, including regular season and postseason competitions, culminating in ABC's exclusive presentation of the NBA Finals for the 18th year in a row. Unfortunately, this season was very challenging due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

For example, all preseason broadcasts were cancelled due to the pandemic. Also, all regular season and playoff games were contested at the NBA Bubble in the Sunshine State of Florida (primarily in Orlando, with select games at various other sites across the state). The three venues used by the league for the "restart" in the Orlando "bubble" were the HP Field House (where the Western Conference Finals ultimately took place), The Arena (where the Eastern Conference Finals & NBA Finals ultimately took place), and Visa Athletic Center. In addition to these sites in Orlando, several others were used for select games as well including: the Amway Center (now Kia Center) in Orlando, the American Airlines Arena (now Kaseya Center) in Miami & the Amalie Arena in Tampa (the home of the Lightning and served as a temporary home for the Toronto Raptors during the 2021 season due to COVID-19 restrictions). These sites will be listed in the broadcast/announcer listings.

In addition, some broadcast teams called up to two games per day in a Summer Series first due to the fact that multiple games were held at the same location.

The Summer Series was delayed to July (a month later than usual due to the COVID-19 pandemic) and finished up in December (yeah, I know, it's kinda weird) when the Los Angeles Lakers won their unprecedented 10th Summer Series title in Game 6 of the 2020 NBA Finals.

The Play-in Tournament (initially just a singular play-in game in 2020; later revised to a full play-in tournament beginning in 2021), games that are played before the actual postseason begins that gives teams seeded #7 through #10 a chance to earn a playoff berth, officially debuted this season in Orlando and would continue in future seasons as well.
