Brooklyn Nets have YES Network as their television home broadcaster. The network was initially created under YankeeNets LLC.
Although the merger came to an end, YES signed a long-term deal with the Nets which would allow them to continue broadcasting their game.
Brooklyn Nets on TV was previously aired by SportChannel and Fox Sports New York. Over-the-air and WWOR-TV also air some of the playoff games for the Nets instead of YES but only when the Yankees games coincide.
In the 2020-21 season, YES did not cover the season opener for the Nets but rather covered the full night on the Facebook Live telecast.
The dedicated team covered the games during the COVID-19 out of Barclays Center and did not travel to road games for safety reasons.
