MEXICO CITY – The National Basketball Association (NBA) and Zignia Live today announced a multiyear extension to continue to bring live NBA games to Mexico for the next several years.

The announcement was made prior to The NBA Mexico City Game 2024 presented by Michelob Ultra, which will feature the Miami Heat and the Washington Wizards playing a regular-season game hosted by Zignia Live at the Arena CDMX in Mexico City today at 7:30 p.m. CST.  The NBA Mexico City Game 2024 presented by Michelob Ultra, which will air live in Mexico on ESPN and NBA League Pass, marks the league’s 33^rd game in Mexico since 1992 – more than any country outside of the U.S. and Canada – and will coincide with traditional “Día de Muertos” (Day of the Dead) celebrations locally.

The renewal extends the longstanding relationship between the NBA and Zignia Live that began with The NBA Mexico Game 2012 and reflects both organizations’ commitment to growing the game of basketball in Mexico.  In addition to live games, the collaboration will also feature fan engagement activities, community outreach programs and basketball development events that will deepen the connection between Mexican fans and the NBA and encourage the development of young basketball talent across the country.

“We are thrilled for another year celebrating an NBA regular-season game in our country and look forward to more games in the future,” said Zignia Live Director Alejandro Arce Saldívar.  “We are happy and grateful for the trust placed in Zignia Live to organize the best sports event of the year.  Arena CDMX once again opens its doors to welcome the league, teams, and of course the fans to fully enjoy the sport of basketball.”

“Zignia Live has been a trusted partner of the NBA for more than 10 years and shares our commitment to creating unforgettable experiences for our passionate fans across the country,” said NBA Latin America Head of Operations Raul Zarraga.  “We look forward to continuing to work together to bring the live NBA experience to Mexico in the years to come and creating additional touchpoints for fans, players and communities year-round.”

The 2024-25 season is airing live in Mexico on ESPN, Disney+, Prime Video and NBA League Pass, the league’s premium live game subscription service available via the NBA App.  Fans in Mexico can find more information about the NBA at NBA.com/Mexico, by downloading the NBA App and on Facebook (@nbamexico), Instagram (@nbamex), Threads (@nbamex), TikTok (@nbamex), WhatsApp Channels (NBA Mexico), X (@nbamex), and YouTube (NBA México).  They can also purchase official NBA merchandise at the NBA Store in Mexico City, online at NBATienda.com and at the Arena CDMX on game night.
