Michael Jordan joins NBC as a special contributor for NBA coverage, marking NBC's return after 23 years.

Basketball legend Michael Jordan will join NBC as a special contributor for NBA coverage starting in the 2025-26 season. NBC returns to broadcasting NBA games after a 23-year absence, with an 11-year agreement that includes Peacock streaming Monday night games. Jordan's involvement is expected to boost viewership and bring '90s nostalgia, as NBC previously aired all six of his championship seasons with the Chicago Bulls.
