Highlights
In the United States, ESPN is the exclusive home of the NBA. If you have a cable or satellite TV subscription that includes ESPN, you can watch live NBA games on ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN3, as well as on the WatchESPN app (if you have a qualifying TV provider). Game times are usually announced about a week in advance, and you can also check the schedule for upcoming games on the NBA website.
If you don’t have a TV subscription that includes ESPN, you can still watch live games through an online streaming service. There are several options available, but one of the most popular is Sling TV. With Sling TV, you can choose from a variety of packages starting at $20 per month, and there’s no contract so you can cancel anytime. Plus, if you sign up now, you’ll get a free Roku streaming device so you can watch on your TV.
Other options for watching live NBA games online include DIRECTV NOW and Playstation Vue. Prices start at $35 per month for DIRECTV NOW and $40 per month for Playstation Vue, and both offer free trials so you can try before you buy.
Analysis and commentary
Everyday, ESPN provides in-depth analysis and commentary on the day’s top sports stories. They also have a variety of shows that discuss the day’s events in detail.
Cons:
-You need a ESPN premium account to watch live games.
-Not all games are available to be watched live, some are only available through replay.
Requires a cable subscription
While ESPN does occasionally show live games on their ESPN3 website, the vast majority of games are blacked out unless you have a cable subscription. If you’re looking to watch NBA games without a cable subscription, your best bet is NBA TV or NBA League Pass.
