Comcast's NBCUniversal is preparing a package of an average of $2.5 billion a year to broadcast NBA games.

The news was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.

Warner Bros Discovery, which started airing NBA games in 1984, currently holds the rights and is paying an average annual fee of $1.2 billion.

But both Warner and the NBA failed to reach an agreement on a new deal before the negotiating period expired last week, the report said.

Comcast's package reportedly would include playoff and regular season games on NBC and Peacock.
