National & Primetime Games

One of the first big changes is the NBA broadcast partners. Gone is the x-year relationship between NBA and TNT. In it's place are a newcomer in Amazon Prime Video, and an old friend in NBC. The NBA has also been presenting more game on NBATV. If you use cable or a virtual cable service like YouTube TV. You'll have access to most of these nationally televised games. In order to access all National Games you'll need to add Peacock and Prime Video to your streaming services. Each broadcast partner has its own unique schedule of games when they are available to know what's playing and where.

Streaming NBA Games

If you're a streaming purist, you you'll need subscriptions to 4 streaming services. If the NBA isn't enough to start a whole new subscription you can check out the features and other sports or teams that you will have access to via that service, and the tiers they offer.

Streaming NBA League Pass (Out-of-Market)

For out-of-market games you'll need NBA League Pass. If you want in-market and out-of-market games, you'll need a subscription for each as League Pass blacks out your local market team.

Watching NBA Games In-Market

Depending on your local market, you'll have access to about 60 or more games from your nearest NBA team via their partner service. Most teams offer them as streaming option if you don't have cable with the lone exception being the Houston Rockets. If you've recently moved or don't know what team is local to your market, we can help.
