Prime Video has announced its broadcast team for the inaugural Prime College Hoops Showcase, bringing together experienced basketball commentators, former NBA players, and award-winning sports journalists for its first season of Duke men’s basketball coverage. The three-game schedule will feature play-by-play announcer Ian Eagle, former NBA and NCAA coach Stan Van Gundy, five-time NBA All-Star John Wall, and journalist Kayla Grey.
The announcement marks another step in Amazon’s expansion into live sports, with the Duke agreement representing Prime Video’s first college sports partnership. The streaming platform will exclusively broadcast three marquee non-conference games featuring the Duke Blue Devils during the 2026-27 college basketball season.
The opening game takes place on November 25, when Duke faces UConn in a highly anticipated matchup between two of the country’s top-ranked programs. Prime Video will make all three games available globally across more than 200 countries and territories.
