Can you change the list builder class used by an entity?
You want something like this:

&lt;?php

/**
 * Implements hook_entity_type_alter().
 */
function MY_MODULE_entity_type_alter(array &amp;$entity_types) {
  /** @var $entity_types \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityTypeInterface[] */
  $entity_types['node']-&gt;setListBuilderClass('Drupal\MY_MODULE\NewListBuilder');
}
