The good news? Streaming the game legally is easier than you think. Not only does it ensure a high-quality, reliable broadcast, but it also supports the league and the teams you love. Here’s your definitive guide to catching every dunk, three-pointer, and block without breaking any rules.

Step 1: Check the National TV Schedule

First, identify who has the broadcast rights for the specific game you want to watch. NBA games are typically aired on national networks or regional sports networks.

• National TV: Games on national channels are the easiest to stream, as they are widely available on most major live TV services.
  • ESPN & ABC: These are Disney-owned networks. Games on ABC are often available for free with a good HD antenna, but can also be streamed.
  • TNT: A staple for NBA coverage, especially on Tuesday and Thursday nights.
  • NBA TV: The league’s own channel, which broadcasts a selection of games throughout the season.
• Regional Sports Networks (RSNs): Most games that aren’t on national TV are broadcast locally.
  • Warriors Fans: The primary broadcaster is NBC Sports Bay Area.
  • Pelicans Fans: The primary broadcaster is Bally Sports New Orleans.

Due to NBA blackout rules, if you live in the Warriors’ or Pelicans’ market, you cannot watch the RSN broadcast on League Pass. You must use a service that carries your local RSN.

Step 2: Choose Your Streaming Service

Based on where the game is airing, here are your best legal streaming options:1. For Nationally Televised Games (ESPN, ABC, TNT, NBA TV)Any major live TV streaming service will carry these channels. The most popular options include:

• YouTube TV: A top choice for sports fans, offering all the major national NBA channels and a cloud-based DVR.
• Hulu + Live TV: Includes ESPN, ABC, TNT, and (depending on your package) NBA TV, all within the extensive Hulu content library.
• Sling TV:
  • Sling Orange gets you ESPN and TNT.
  • Sling Blue does not include ESPN but has NBA TV.
  • For the full suite, consider Sling Orange + Blue.
• DirecTV Stream: A premium option that carries all national channels and a robust selection of RSNs.

2. For Games on Regional Sports Networks (NBC Sports Bay Area, Bally Sports New Orleans)If the game is only on an RSN, your options are more specific. Check each service’s website to confirm they carry your local RSN in your specific zip code.

• FuboTV: Excellent for sports, with a strong lineup of RSNs, including NBC Sports networks.
• DirecTV Stream: Its higher-tier packages (like “Choice” or “Ultimate”) are one of the most reliable ways to get Bally Sports and other RSNs.
• YouTube TV & Hulu + Live TV: Also carry many RSNs, but availability varies significantly by region. Always verify before subscribing.

3. The “No-Subscription” Option: NBA League PassNBA League Pass is the league’s official streaming service, but it comes with a major caveat: local and nationally televised games are blacked out.

• Best for: Die-hard fans who want to watch out-of-market teams. If you live in New York and want to watch the Warriors vs. Pelicans, League Pass is perfect.
• Avoid if: You live in California, Louisiana, or the surrounding broadcast areas of either team. The game will be blacked out.
• Pro Tip: League Pass offers a Team Pass (follow one out-of-market team) and a Single Game purchase option, which can be more affordable.
