Looking ahead to the NBA playoffs in 2025, games will be broadcast on ABC and/or ESPN as well as TNT, and the NBA finals will be broadcast on ABC.
So, what do you actually need to sign up for to watch or stream this entire upcoming NBA season with ease, without paying a ridiculous amount of money? You’ve got a few options. Here’s what we recommend for the best ways to watch the NBA season:
How to watch NBA live or stream NBA games in 2025:
While we typically love Fubo for most sports, there’s one caveat when subscribing to Fubo specifically for NBA access, and that’s the fact that the platform doesn’t carry TNT. You can tune in to TNT which will be broadcasting 65 regular-season games this year, as well as ESPN, ABC, NBA TV and ESPN2 on DirecTV and Hulu with Live TV, which will give you access to the majority of nationally broadcast games, as well as games in your local market.
DirecTV Stream’s new My Sports package will get you the essential channels for the 2025 NBA season, including ESPN, ABC, TNT and NBA TV. It also includes a subscription to ESPN+ (typically $12/month).
The pack costs $70/month, but you can try it all out for free for 5 days first. Every DirecTV subscriber, regardless of tier, enjoys access to an unlimited cloud DVR.
Max, AKA “the one to watch,” has select live sports available through its Bleacher Report Sports add-on, which is included free of charge for ad-free Max subscribers.
On top of NBA games TNT, Max has buzzy shows including The White Lotus, The Last of Us, House of the Dragon, Dune: Prophecy and more.
Ad-supported Max starts at $10/month. The Standard plan (which includes B/R Sports free of charge) costs $17/month.
How to watch games on Prime Video:
Back in July, news broke of an 11-year deal between the NBA and Amazon Prime Video for the streamer to carry 66 regular season NBA games on the platform starting with the 2025-2026 season. But fans can still watch dozens of NBA games on the platform during the 2024-2025 season with the help of NBA TV and NBA League Pass. While watching these on Prime will cost an additional subscription fee, they offer one of the more comprehensive ways to catch most regular season games that aren’t subject to a regional or national location restrictions. NBA League Pass is ideal for fans to watch NBA games for teams outside of their local area. An add-on League Pass subscription runs between $13.99 and $16.99/month, or you can grab their latest deal and pay $74.99 for the rest of the season. NBA TV is also available as an add-on to a current Prime subscription of $8.99/month (after a free 7-day trial). Up to 100 live NBA games per season, classic games and commentary shows are all available with a subscription to NBA TV.
This year, Amazon Prime Video will stream dozens of NBA games via add-on subscriptions to NBA League Pass or NBA TV.
On top of Amazon Prime Video, an Amazon Prime subscription includes free shipping, exclusive deals, access to the Prime Day 2024 sale event, Amazon Music, a year of free GrubHub+ and more. A standard Amazon Prime subscription is $15 monthly or $139 annually, but discounts are available for students and those on qualified government assistance. You can try Amazon Prime free for 30 days.
Stream NBA games with NBA League Pass alone:
With NBA League Pass, you can stream out-of-market NBA games (certain national exclusions and local blackouts apply), get access to full-length and condensed replays of every game, rewatch hundreds of past classic games and use the platform’s live game DVR. NBA League Pass is currently on offer for a discounted rate of $74.99 for the rest of the season.
Every way to watch the 2024-2025 NBA season:

NFL Week 6 odds, predictions, expert picks: Can Mayfield, Bucs keep late-game magic alive?
The first month of the season is when every club gets its feet wet and settles into the year. As for the second month, this is when teams begin to separate themselves as either a playoff contender or someone already looking ahead to 2026. Week 6 has plenty of intriguing matchups on deck, and already is off the heels of the New York Giants upsetting the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night.

Ennis destroys Lima in a round to win Interim belt
Jaron Ennis took out Uisma Lima in less than two minutes to win his first fight at super-welterweight. After extending his unbeaten run to 35-0, the Philadelphia fighter called out Vergil Ortiz. "It's going to happen next," Ennis said. "He's got his fight coming up. If he don't win, I'll fight the winner of that. I want Vergil Ortiz next."Ortiz has to get past Erickson Lubin in a fight next month. Should Ortiz clear that hurdle, Ennis should be in line for a fight that - with a win - could shoot him to true boxing stardom.Ennis, a former world champion at welterweight, showed what a threat he could be at 154lbs as he made quick work of Uisma Lima with a first-round stoppage victory. "Boots" Ennis dropped Lima heavily twice in the first round before ending it at just […]

And in some ways, that’s where the story of Milwaukee’s 2025 season began.Last fall, the Brewers saw the Mets defeat them in crushing fashion, as Pete Alonso’s ninth-inning, game-winning home run ended Milwaukee’s season in front of its home crowd. Many Brewers players stayed and watched as New York celebrated advancing to the next round on their home field.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBrewers manager Pat Murphy had to give his team a difficult speech that night.
