Amazon’s Prime Video streaming service will continue to broadcast NBA games in Brazil, following reports it could be replaced by pay-TV network SporTV.
The NBA inked a multi-year deal earlier this month with Amazon to live stream 87 regular season games per season in the South American country from the start of 2022/23.
However, the internet giant’s streaming platform was hit by technical issues during the first week of the new NBA season, resulting in its planned broadcasts of the Milwaukee Bucks versus the Philadelphia 76ers and the Los Angeles Clippers versus the Los Angeles Lakers having to be abandoned.
An Amazon spokesperson explained that the technical problems were caused by an issue with a third-party vendor, affecting the signal architecture that resulted in a poor quality stream for some customers.
The issues have since been resolved and games will be broadcasted by Prime Video as agreed with the NBA.
