Out-of-market NBA streaming<\/h2>\n
As in previous years, NBA League Pass<\/a> lets you watch any out-of-market game that isn\u2019t nationally-televised. If your favorite team plays in a different city from where you live, you can forgo the regional sports options above and get League Pass instead. It costs $17 per month or $110 for the season.<\/p>\n
What about nationally televised games?<\/h2>\n
The unbundled options above won\u2019t entitle you to NBA games that air on national television, including the playoffs and in-season tournament (now dubbed the \u201cEmirates NBA Cup\u201d). Those games are split between ESPN, ABC, and TNT, with a small number of playoff games on NBA TV, so figuring out the best course of action can get tricky.<\/p>\n
TNT\u2019s basketball coverage is still\u00a0 included with Max<\/a> at $10 per month with ads or $17 per month without. While Warner eventually plans to charge an extra $10 per month for live sports, it\u2019s not doing so yet.<\/p>\n
NBA TV is available on a standalone basis through NBA League Pass<\/a>, which also includes out-of-market games. It costs $17 per month or $110 for the season.<\/p>\n
As for the other channels, you could try to pick up ABC\u2019s coverage with an antenna, but that still doesn\u2019t help you with the games on ESPN.<\/p>\n
All of which brings us to live TV streaming services<\/a>, which are the best way to bundle everything together:<\/p>\n
\n
Sling TV Orange is the cheapest option at $40 per month (plus an extra $11 per month for NBA TV), but it\u2019s missing ABC in all but a\u00a0 handful of markets<\/a>.<\/li>\n
YouTube TV<\/a> is a more complete option at $73 per month.<\/li>\n
Hulu + Live TV<\/a> costs $83 per month but does not carry NBA TV.<\/li>\n
Fubo<\/a> includes regional sports in many markets, but is much pricier at $92 per month (or more, depending on regional sports fees) and lacks TNT, a major source of NBA coverage.<\/li>\n
DirecTV Stream<\/a> also includes regional sports for most markets in its \u201cChoice\u201d package, but it\u2019s expensive at $115 per month.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Ultimately you\u2019ll have to decide whether to piece things together (or even forgo some NBA coverage) in pursuit of greater savings, or pay more for the convenience of a bigger bundle.<\/p>\n
