How to Watch the 2023-24 NBA Season Online Without Cable
While both of the 2023-24 NBA regular season games are broadcast across ABC, ESPN, ESPN3 (which simulcasts games from ABC), TNT and NBA TV, you can sign up for a free trial from a live TV streaming service if you want to watch without cable for free. There are a number of streaming cable alternatives that carry the network. However, at the moment, not many of them are offering free trials. Ahead, you’ll find where to watch both games online without a cable subscription.
DirecTV Stream
Price $69.99 and up per month
2023-24 NBA Season ESPN, TNT NBA TV and NBA League Pass
You can catch NBA regular season games on ESPN, TNT and NBA TV, which is available on DirecTV Stream’s “Choice” package and up. Choice has more than 105 channels, while prices start as low as $84.99. In the meantime, the cable alternative has a free trial available, which only lasts for five days, but that’s more than enough to catch a few games.
In addition, you can add NBA League Pass to your subscribe for an addition $14.99 per month.
Hulu + Live TV
Price: $76.99 and up per month
2023-24 NBA Season ABC, ESPN and TNT
A subscription to Hulu + Live TV can give you access to 2023-24 NBA regular season games on ESPN, TNT and ABC. The service can also give you access to more than 90 channels starting at $76.99 per month. Meanwhile, the package includes access to Hulu’s streaming library, Disney+ and ESPN+, unlimited cloud DVR and the ability to watch up to two screens to stream at the same time.
Sling
Price $20 and up per month
2023-24 NBA Season ESPN, ESPN3, TNT, NBA League Pass and NBA TV
To watch NBA games on TNT, ESPN and ESPN3, Sling might be a good fit for potential subscribers. Sign up is really easy, while all of its plans feature the cable network in their respective lineups. Additionally, Sling is the cheapest traditional cable alternative with prices starting as low as $20 per month for the first month for Sling Orange ($40 per month afterwards) — with the streamer’s current deals. Sling Orange also features Disney Channel, ESPN, Freeform, TBS, Bravo, MSNBC and much more.
In fact, the streamer has a Sling Orange + NBA League Pass package that includes NBA TV, out-of-market games, on-demand games and highlights. You can get six months for $257 prepaid, which breaks down to about $43 per month, or nearly 15 percent off the list price, if you went month-to-month.
