FPT Play owns the copyright of NBA Regular Season 2025/26: The top competition officially returns

VHO - FPT Play continues to be the only unit in Vietnam that owns the broadcasting rights for the National Basketball Association (NBA) Regular Season 2025/26. This is the second consecutive year that the platform has accompanied the most attractive sports tournament on the planet, giving domestic audiences the opportunity to watch the entire season live — from the main round, All-Star to Playoffs and Finals.

The 2025/26 NBA season will officially kick off at dawn on October 22, Vietnam time.

Besides maintaining high professional quality, this season's NBA is expected to bring many surprises when a series of teams have significant roster changes, while legends are still asserting their positions such as Stephen Curry, LeBron James, Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic or Jayson Tatum...

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

The first week of competition (from October 22 to October 29) will witness a series of remarkable matches. Among them, the focus of the opening series will certainly be the great battle between the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers, two "empires" of modern basketball.

The match between Stephen Curry and LeBron James not only has professional value, but is also a confrontation between two icons of a generation, promising to bring eye-catching plays and explosive emotions.

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

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

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

This reunion continues to attract attention as LeBron James and Stephen Curry are on opposite sides of the battle line.

As for the Warriors, the core that built their empire is still there: Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green.

However, signs of aging are gradually becoming apparent, while young players like Kuminga or Moody have yet to show a clear breakthrough.

Their physicality and defensive ability, especially under the basket, are weaknesses that can be exploited.

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

Names like Luka Doncic and Rui Hachimura are showing clear progress, helping the Lakers become one of the top contenders in the West this season.

Overall, the Lakers are slightly better in terms of strength and physicality, but the Warriors have home court advantage and a wealth of experience. This is a match that could go down to the final minutes.

Rockets vs Thunder: Stage of the New Generation

Meanwhile, the clash between the Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder has a completely different color - young, fast and unpredictable.

Both teams are in the process of building their squad around very young pillars, and this season is seen as an important stepping stone for them to go further.

Houston Rockets continue to put their faith in young faces like Alperen Şengün or Amen Thompson.

However, the lack of battle experience is still a big obstacle. The Rockets' defense and consistency in play still need time to improve.

Meanwhile, Oklahoma City Thunder is a highly rated team in the West.

With captain Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Thunder possesses a deep squad, balanced in both offense and defense.

Their strong points are their cohesive play and fiery fighting spirit. At the moment, Thunder are considered to have more advantages, and if they play at their best, they can completely win the opening match.

In addition to the match between the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers and the Houston Rockets and the Oklahoma City Thunder, notable matches within the 2025/2026 NBA framework will be broadcast live and exclusively onFPT Play, giving Vietnamese audiences the opportunity to fully enjoy every top play, every decisive shot and breathtaking dramatic moments.

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