How To Stream NBA Games On Apple TV
Contents
If you want to watch the NBA playoffs without cable, you can do so by streaming the games on your Apple TV. Here’s how.
Introduction
The NBA Finals are here, and if you want to watch them on your big screen you have a few options other than traditional cable. Here’s how to live stream the games on your Apple TV.
As usual, ABC has the exclusive broadcast rights to the NBA Finals. But if you don’t have a cable or satellite TV subscription, you can still watch the games — albeit with a few more steps.
First, you’ll need to sign up for a free trial of a streaming service that includes ABC in its lineup, like Sling TV, Hulu with Live TV, AT&T TV Now, or YouTube TV. (Here’s a complete rundown of your live streaming options for watching ABC without cable.) Once you’ve done that and downloaded the appropriate app on your Apple TV, you’ll just need to sign in with your account information to start watching.

Setting Up NBA League Pass
To watch NBA games on your Apple TV, you’ll need to sign up for NBA League Pass. With League Pass, you can watch live out-of-market games and on-demand replays of every game of the season. You can also get access to exclusive NBA content, like original programming and classic games.
To sign up for NBA League Pass, open the App Store on your Apple TV and search for “NBA.” Find the NBA app and select Get. Once the app has downloaded, launch it and select Sign In. Select Sign Up and enter your information. Once you’ve created an account, you can purchase a League Pass subscription.
Once you’ve signed up for NBA League Pass, you can start watching games. To find a game to watch, open the NBA app and select the Games tab. You’ll see a list of upcoming games, as well as a schedule of games that are currently being played. Select a game to see more information about it.
If you want to watch a game that is currently being played, select the Watch Live button. If you want to watch a replay of a game that has already been played, select the Watch On Demand button. You can also add games to your Watchlist so that you can easily find them later.
Watching Games On Your Apple TV
If you want to watch NBA games on your Apple TV, there are a few different ways to do it. You can stream live games through the NBA app, watch on-demand games through the NBA League Pass app, or sign up for a subscription with an online streaming service that carries NBA games.
Live games are available through the NBA app on Apple TV, but you’ll need a League Pass subscription to watch. League Pass is the NBA’s premium service that allows you to watch live and on-demand games. It costs $250 per year, or you can pay $18 per month for a monthly subscription.
If you don’t want to pay for a League Pass subscription, you can still watch on-demand games through the NBA app on Apple TV. Just select the game you want to watch from the “Archive” section of the app. You can also find highlights and other video content in the “Video” section of the app.
There are also a number of online streaming services that carry NBA games, including Sling TV, Hulu with Live TV, YouTube TV, and AT&T TV NOW. These services typically start at $30-$50 per month and offer free trials if you’re interested in trying them out.

Once you’re signed in, you’ll see a list of games that are currently available to stream. Select the game you want to watch and enjoy! You can also browse through on-demand games and highlights, or check out the NBA TV schedule to see what’s coming up next.
