Your complete guide to watching NBA live on the BBC throughout the 2023/24 season.
The NBA has arrived on free-to-air TV in the UK, with the BBC showing several matches throughout the 2023/24 season.
While TNT Sports boasts the rights to broadcast more than 250 games across the NBA per season, the BBC has cut into the market with a selection of matches to be made available to all.
And the teams involved are hardly small-time encounters. In March alone, the dominant force in the Eastern Conference, the Boston Celtics, will be shown twice on the BBC.
The reigning NBA champions, the Denver Nuggets, and the Golden State Warriors, who have made the Finals six times since 2015 – winning four titles – also feature.
Fans across the UK, including casual viewers seeking to learn more about the sport, will be delighted to see regular servings of NBA action on their screens in the weeks to come.
RadioTimes.com brings you all the details for how to watch the NBA live on the BBC.
