FPT Play acquires broadcasting rights for the NBA Regular Season 2025/26: The top-tier competition officially returns.

VHO - FPT Play continues to be the sole entity in Vietnam holding the broadcasting rights for the 2025/26 Regular Season of the American professional basketball league (NBA). This marks the second consecutive year that the platform has partnered with the world's most exciting sporting event, offering domestic viewers the opportunity to watch the entire season live — from the regular season, All-Star game, to the Playoffs and Finals.

The 2025/26 NBA season will officially kick off in the early morning of October 22nd, Vietnam time.

Besides maintaining high professional standards, this NBA season is expected to bring many surprises as a number of teams have made significant roster changes, while legends like Stephen Curry, LeBron James, Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, and Jayson Tatum continue to assert their dominance…

In addition, the tournament has adjusted the schedule to be more reasonable, helping teams reduce travel and improve the quality of each match.

The first week of competition (October 22nd to 29th) will feature a series of noteworthy matchups. The highlight of the opening series will undoubtedly be the clash between the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers, two "empires" of modern basketball.

The showdown between Stephen Curry and LeBron James is not only of professional value, but also a clash between two icons of a generation, promising spectacular plays and explosive emotions.

In addition, fans shouldn't miss other exciting matches such as the Houston Rockets vs. Oklahoma City Thunder, the Boston Celtics vs. New York Knicks, or the Denver Nuggets vs. Golden State Warriors, where young stars like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Tamar Bates are ready to challenge veteran legends.

Warriors vs. Lakers: A showdown not for the faint of heart.

The Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers are two names very familiar to NBA fans, not only because of their reputation but also because of their dramatic rivalries in the past.

This reunion continues to attract attention as LeBron James and Stephen Curry once again stand on opposite sides of the battlefield.

On the Warriors' side, the core group that built their empire is still there: Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green.

However, signs of age are becoming increasingly apparent, while younger players like Kuminga and Moody have yet to show a significant breakthrough.

Their physical fitness and defensive capabilities, especially in the paint area, are weaknesses that are easily exploited.

The Lakers, on the other hand, have a deep and well-balanced roster. Anthony Davis will continue to shoulder the defensive burden, while LeBron remains an irreplaceable leader despite being 40 years old.

Players like Luka Doncic and Rui Hachimura are showing significant improvement, helping the Lakers become one of the top contenders in the Western Conference this season.

Overall, the Lakers have a slight advantage in terms of strength and physicality, but the Warriors have the home-court advantage and extensive experience. This is a game that could go down to the very last minute.

Rockets compete against Thunder: The stage for the new generation.

Meanwhile, the clash between the Houston Rockets and the Oklahoma City Thunder had a completely different feel – youthful, fast-paced, and unpredictable.

Both teams are in the process of building their squads around very young key players, and this season is seen as a crucial stepping stone for them to go further.

The Houston Rockets continue to place their faith in young talents like Alperen Şengün and Amen Thompson.

However, the lack of competitive experience remains a major obstacle. The Rockets' defensive capabilities and consistency in play still need time to improve.

Meanwhile, the Oklahoma City Thunder are considered a top team in the Western Conference.

Led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Thunder possess a deep and well-balanced roster, excelling in both offense and defense.

Their cohesive playstyle and fierce competitive spirit are their strengths. At the moment, the Thunder are considered to have the advantage, and if they play to their full potential, they can absolutely win the opening game.

Besides the matchups between the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder, other notable games in the 2025/2026 NBA season will be broadcast live and exclusively onFPT Play, giving Vietnamese viewers the opportunity to fully enjoy every high-level play, every decisive shot, and every breathtaking moment of drama.

With international-standard production quality and a lively and in-depth commentary system, FPT Play continues to affirm its position as the leading sports broadcasting platform in Vietnam, accompanying fans on their journey to conquer new heights in the world of basketball.
