NBA Finals
The NBA has released the schedule for the 2026 Finals, beginning on Wednesday, June 3, with a format that avoids Sunday games for the first time since 1970. This adjustment could provide a longer gap before the NBA Draft if the series goes to seven games. The changes accommodate broadcasting conflicts and international events.
