Overview: The NBA rolls out its end-of-season awards over a multi-day window in April, with multiple categories announced on consecutive nights. The MVP and several other major awards typically occur in mid to late April, often televised on TNT or other networks, though exact dates can shift year to year. This general pattern has held across recent seasons, though the specific dates vary.[1][5]

2024-25 season pattern: In 2025, several awards were scheduled across four nights in late April, with a few categories announced on back-to-back days. The rollout included major awards like Defensive Player of the Year, Sixth Man, and MVP in the latter part of April, and some dates were broadcast on NBC Sports/Peacock platforms or similar outlets.[3][5]

2025-26 season pattern: For the 2025-26 cycle, uncertainty remains until the NBA publishes an official schedule, but outlets have projected dates in mid-to-late April, with the MVP typically announced around mid-May in some years. The 2026 schedule coverage suggested the MVP announcement date as May 17, 2026, with other awards announced earlier in the month on various platforms.[5]
