Overview
- Coverage begins March 11 in San Juan with USA vs. Senegal on truTV and HBO Max, with three more U.S. games on truTV before the March 17 Spain matchup on TNT.
- The multiyear pact grants exclusive U.S. English-language rights to FIBA’s marquee events through 2029 across TNT, TBS, truTV and HBO Max.
- USA’s qualifying roster includes Clark, Bueckers and Reese for expected first senior appearances alongside Kelsey Plum, Chelsea Gray, Kahleah Copper and Jackie Young.
- All five U.S. qualifiers will air on linear television, moving FIBA coverage from ESPN and returning 5‑on‑5 professional basketball to TNT Sports’ portfolio.
- The agreement comes as Warner Bros. Discovery pursues a merger with Paramount, creating a scenario where Paramount or CBS Sports could ultimately oversee the rights, while separate USA tune-up games remain with NBCUniversal.
