Michael Jordan is returning to NBC – but not as a player, as a special contributor to NBC Sports’ NBA coverage beginning this fall.
The six-time NBA champion shared his excitement about the league’s return to NBC, calling it a meaningful part of his legendary career.
NBCUniversal made the announcement during its Upfront event, revealing Jordan will join a revamped team of analysts and features, including the return of iconic theme ‘Roundball Rock’ and an AI recreation of classic narrator Jim Fagan.
NBC’s new NBA deal begins with the 2025–26 season, promising live games across Peacock and primetime slots.
