NBA League Pass: The Best All-Around Option
One of the most comprehensive choices for basketball fans is the NBA League Pass.
However, it’s essential to be aware of certain limitations. Depending on your location, you may not be able to watch teams in your regional market live. For example, viewers in New York will not have access to live Nets or Knicks games on League Pass.
Additionally, nationally broadcast games on ESPN, TNT, and ABC are not included in the live offerings, but they are available for on-demand viewing a few days after the live broadcasts.
Pricing for NBA League Pass starts at $110 per season for the commercial version and $160 for the ad-free version. Both plans allow for live and on-demand viewing of games.
The ad-free plan also offers the advantage of streaming on three devices simultaneously, as well as access to NBA TV and in-arena games. For fans interested in following a single team, a dedicated plan is available for $90 per season.
