What Leagues & Sports Can You Watch on NBA TV?
NBA TV Streaming Guide: Verdict, Cost & Best Options
The Verdict
NBA TV is the league's official 24/7 television network, airing live out-of-market NBA regular-season games, the entire NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, WNBA matchups, and nightly whip-around highlights and crunch-time look-ins on NBA GameTime. If you use Hulu + Live TV, you are out of luck on your main guide because Hulu + Live TV does not carry NBA TV on any plan. Fortunately, you do not need to switch your whole TV bundle to watch it. You can subscribe to the standalone 24/7 NBA TV channel directly inside the NBA App (or through Prime Video Channels) for $8.99 a month, or get it included automatically inside NBA League Pass ($16.99/month or $109.99/season). If you want a full live TV bundle that includes NBA TV alongside ESPN, ABC, and NBC, YouTube TV ($82.99/month) is the best deal because it is the only major live TV service that includes NBA TV in its standard base package with no sports add-on fee.
Best For
- Basketball fans watching nightly live look-ins, crunch-time finish alerts, and postgame press conferences on NBA GameTime
- Out-of-market NBA fans tuning in for live regular-season NBA TV Center Court matchups
- Draft and prospect followers watching every game of the NBA Summer League, NBA G League, and Draft Combine
- Hulu + Live TV subscribers who use the standalone NBA App or NBA League Pass to get NBA TV without switching bundles
Pricing Reality
NBA TV is a pay-TV channel, so an indoor digital antenna will not pick it up. If you just want the 24/7 NBA TV channel without paying for a live TV bundle, you can buy a standalone NBA TV pass directly in the NBA App for $8.99 per month, or step up to NBA League Pass ($16.99/month or $109.99/season), which includes the 24/7 NBA TV channel plus every out-of-market regular-season game. If you prefer having NBA TV inside a multi-channel cable replacement guide, YouTube TV ($82.99/month) is the only service that includes NBA TV directly in its entry-level base plan. Every other live TV provider locks NBA TV behind a paid add-on or higher tier: on Sling TV, you have to pair either Sling Orange ($46/month) or Sling Blue ($46/month) with the $11/month Sports Extra add-on for $57/month total; on Fubo, you must either upgrade from the $79.99/month Pro plan to Fubo Elite ($89.99/month) or add the $10.99/month Sports Plus pack; and on DIRECTV Stream, you must step up to the Choice tier ($108.99/month). Hulu + Live TV does not carry NBA TV at all.
What We Like
- Standalone 24/7 NBA TV streaming is available for $8.99/month in the NBA App, or included inside NBA League Pass ($16.99/mo)
- Included in YouTube TV's standard base plan ($82.99/mo) with no extra sports add-on required
- Available on Sling Orange or Sling Blue with the Sports Extra add-on ($57/mo total), Fubo, and DIRECTV Stream Choice
- Airs every NBA Summer League game in July alongside nightly live crunch-time look-ins on NBA GameTime
Things to Consider
- Completely missing from Hulu + Live TV on all plans and add-ons
- Excluded from the base packages on Sling TV, Fubo Pro, and DIRECTV Stream Entertainment
- Live NBA TV games involving your local home-market team are still blacked out in your zip code to protect local regional broadcasts
- Cannot be watched for free over the air with an indoor digital antenna

How to Stream NBA TV: Live TV & Schedule FAQ
Can I watch NBA TV on Hulu + Live TV?
No. Hulu + Live TV does not carry NBA TV in its base plan or in its Sports Add-on package. If you subscribe to Hulu + Live TV, the easiest way to get NBA TV is subscribing to the standalone NBA TV pass ($8.99/month) or NBA League Pass ($16.99/month) inside the NBA App or on Prime Video.
Is NBA TV included with NBA League Pass?
Yes. Every standard NBA League Pass ($16.99/month or $109.99/season) and League Pass Premium subscription includes full 24/7 access to the live NBA TV channel feed at no extra charge.
Is NBA TV included in YouTube TV's base plan?
Yes. YouTube TV ($82.99/month) includes NBA TV directly in its standard base channel lineup without requiring you to buy the $10.99/month Sports Plus add-on.
What is the cheapest live TV bundle that includes NBA TV?
If you want a multi-channel live TV service, Sling TV is the cheapest bundle: combining either Sling Orange ($46/month) or Sling Blue ($46/month) with the $11/month Sports Extra add-on brings your total cost to $57 per month.
Why is a live game on NBA TV blacked out in my city?
While studio shows like NBA GameTime stream nationwide with zero restrictions, live NBA TV regular-season games are still subject to local home-market blackouts. If an NBA TV game features your local team, the NBA TV feed will be blacked out in your zip code so that your local regional sports network (RSN) or local over-the-air station retains exclusive in-market rights.
