Local Channels and Regional Sports Networks
Most NBA games air on Regional Sports Networks or RSNs. Your favorite team is likely to play almost all their games on your local RSN.
There are many RSNs across the US and a couple in Canada (Sportsnet and TSN) for the Toronto Raptors. Some of these RSNs include Altitude Sports, AT&T SportsNet, Bally Sports, Yes Network, NBC Sports RSNs, MSG, and Spectrum Sports.
Nearly all NBA teams and RSNs are available on DirecTV Stream (except the 76ers on NBC Sports Philadelphia and Trail Blazers on NBC Sports Northwest). Fubo, Hulu, and YouTube TV have all the NBC Sports RSNs.
Recommended Live TV Providers
National Channel and Broadcasts
Some NBA games will appear on national channels such as ESPN, TNT, and ABC. You can get these channels on live TV streaming services such as Hulu Live TV, fuboTV, DirecTV Stream, Sling TV, and YouTube TV.
National channels may sometimes be the only place to catch exclusive games such as the NBA playoffs and the NBA finals. If your favorite team is skilled enough to make it far in the season you should definitely consider a service that will give you access to national channels.
How to Get Around Local Streaming Blackouts
If you're a fan who's far away from your favorite team, you can still watch almost every game your team plays. With the NBA League Pass, you can watch every team that's out of your market or follow a single team for only $120 a season.
One thing to note is that NBA League Pass will not work if your team is local. Local RSNs have rights to broadcast local games. To give yourself maximum flexibility, consider using a VPN (virtual private network) to access NBA League Pass to watch all games without worrying about blackouts.
