TV Answer Man, do you know where we can watch the NBA Cup games tonight? – Deke, Alexandria, Virginia.

Amazon tonight (December 9, 2025) will stream the first two games in the NBA Cup quarterfinals as an exclusive.

The doubleheader will matchup the Miami Heat vs. the Orlando Magic at 6 p.m. ET and the New York Knicks vs. the Toronto Raptors at 8:30 p.m. ET.

The Cup’s quarterfinals are known as the Knockout round because the winners will advance to the league tournament’s semifinals in Las Vegas this Saturday. The NBA Cup Finals will be played on December 16.

In tomorrow night’s Cup quarterfinals, the Phoenix Suns will play the Oklahoma City Thunder at 7:30 p.m. ET and the San Antonio Spurs will battle the Los Angeles Lakers at 10 p.m. ET. Both again will be Amazon’s Prime Video exclusives.

The Cup was started by the league during the 2023/24 season. The Lakers won the first Cup while the Thunder won last year. The winning team receives a trophy while each player on the winning team receives $500.000.

Amazon secured the exclusive rights to the Cup’s quarterfinals, semifinals and championship starting with the 2025/26 season as part of the company’s new 11-year broadcast agreement with the league.

The streamer airs its NBA games in 1080p HD and includes several unique features and stats as described here in our article from October.

Deke, I hope that helps. Happy viewing and stay safe!
