NBA TV broadcasts: Live stream, network information, how to watch basketball games online
Here's how to watch your favorite NBA team all season long
www.cbssports.comHere are the basics for watching NBA games tonight from Zürich.
- National TV options: ESPN/ABC and TNT are the primary national broadcasters in the U.S. If a game is on ESPN/ABC or TNT, you’ll typically need a streaming service that carries those channels or an NBA League Pass with appropriate add-ons. This is the most common setup for marquee or national games.[1][2]
- Local and regional: Regional sports networks (RSNs) carry many local teams, and those are often only available via local providers or certain streaming bundles (check if your location in Switzerland has access through a service that carries the RSN feeds you need). Blackouts may apply for local games via some national streams, so verify per-game.[1]
- Streaming paths if you don’t have cable:
- Live TV streaming services that include ESPN/ABC/TNT (examples often include Hulu + Live TV, DIRECTV STREAM, YouTube TV in the U.S.) are common options for national games.[1]
- NBA League Pass offers access to many games, but blackout rules may limit viewing of games broadcast on local or national TV in your region; use the NBA’s blackout tools or schedule pages to confirm per game.[5][1]
- Peacock, NBC/NBC Sports apps, and other regional deals may carry some NBA games later in the season, depending on rights in your area; check current listings for tonight’s games.[4]
