Michael Jordan is joining NBC Sports as a special contributor to its NBA coverage when the 2025-26 season begins.

During its upfront presentation at Radio City Music Hall on Monday morning, NBC announced its offerings for the upcoming television season.

Jordan expressed his enthusiasm in a video message, stating, “I am so excited to see the NBA back on NBC. The NBA on NBC was a meaningful part of my career, and I’m excited about being a special contributor to the project. I’m looking forward to seeing you all when the NBA on NBC launches this October.”

After a 23-year hiatus, NBC is reacquiring the rights to broadcast the NBA. The network previously held NBA rights from 1990 to 2002 and featured all six of Jordan’s championships with the Chicago Bulls.

This is the first time Jordan has joined a network. His appearances and comments during the 2020 “The Last Dance” documentary about his career and the end of the Bulls dynasty in 1998 created plenty of headlines.

“Michael’s legacy both on and off the court speaks for itself,” NBC Sports President Rick Cordella said. “We’re incredibly proud to have him join our coverage.”

NBC’s 11-year agreement with the NBA and WNBA begins in October. Peacock will exclusively stream games on Monday night while NBC/Peacock will have regional doubleheaders on Tuesday. NBC and Peacock will also launch “Sunday Night Basketball” in January.
