NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan has taken on a new role for the upcoming regular NBA season as a special contributor for NBC Sports.
The Peacock Network announced that the six-time NBA champion will join NBC Sports when it starts broadcasting NBA games in October during the upcoming 2025-25 season.

“I am so excited to see the NBA back on NBC,” said Jordan in a written statement. “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.”
Jordan is considered one of the best, if not the best, basketball player to lace up his sneakers for the NBA.
Jordan is joining other former players like Jamal Crawford and Reggie Miller, who will serve as game analysts, and Carmelo Anthony, who is on board as a studio analyst.
As many times as we’ve seen Jordan playing on the basketball court, this will be the first time he will be giving us his own take on the action on the floor, as this is the first time he will be behind the mic in this capacity.
This move is major news as NBC is back in the NBA broadcast game after 23 years.
“Michael’s legacy both on and off the court speaks for itself,” said NBC Sports President Rick Cordella. “We’re incredibly proud to have him join our coverage.”
Last summer, NBCUniversal and the NBA signed an 11-year agreement to air NBA and WNBA regular-season and playoff basketball games across numerous platforms. Monday night games will stream on Peacock, while NBC/Peacock will air coverage of regional doubleheaders on Tuesday nights. Fans will be able to view Sunday Night Basketball across NBC and Peacock.
