Guide to Watching NBA Games for the Current Season

If you’re planning to watch some NBA games this season, get ready for a new way to play. Every NBA game will be available for streaming this year, which is a big shift from the days when cable TV was the only game in town. Now, you can catch the action on platforms like Peacock, Amazon Prime Video, ESPN, NBC, and the NBA’s own streaming service.

There’s a bit of a battle going on to be the go-to platform for sports content. This means that channel flipping has been replaced by hopping between different apps. So, while it used to be easy with just one subscription, now you might need several to catch all the games and leagues you’re interested in.

Take, for example, the Minnesota Timberwolves. Over the next week and a half, they’ll play their games on platforms like FanDuel Sports Network North, Prime Video, Peacock, and ESPN. If you’re a cable subscriber, you might not get access to all of them.

But there are some perks for Amazon Prime members. You can add FanDuel Sports Network, Peacock, and League Pass subscriptions within the Prime Video platform for a more seamless experience. However, when other sports like Sunday Ticket and MLB’s out-of-market offering are thrown into the mix, things get a bit more complicated.

The NBA is working on solutions to make it easier for fans to find and watch games across different platforms. They’ve integrated tap-to-watch features on social media apps and are collaborating with streaming providers to improve the viewing experience. And if you’re a casual viewer, games on ABC and NBC are still easy to access on regular TV.

While it’s getting easier to switch between linear TV channels and streaming apps, juggling multiple games on different services simultaneously can still be a challenge. But hey, at least we’re making progress in the world of sports streaming!
