League Pass is the NBA's very own streaming service. Similar to that of other American sports that boast their own streaming services like NFL Game Pass, NBA League Pass shows every game live.
In addition to streaming every second of every game of the season live, you also get access to extras like Summer League and pre-season games. League Pass serves as a single destination for the latest news, highlights and recaps from the current NBA season.
League Pass has 3 packages in total. There's Team Pass, League Pass and League Pass Premium available. Both come with annual or monthly options.
While the similar names may seem confusing League Pass is the old premium option fans pre 2021 would be familiar with. The newer package which debuted in the 2021/22 season League Pass Premium is identical but now allows you to stream from 3 devices simultaneously rather than 1.
Team Pass formerly called Team Choice, costs $21.99 per month or $153.99 for the entire season and allows you to watch every game of your selected franchise.
While the naming of the League Pass package is confusing given it was called League Pass Premium until 4 seasons ago, the difference is simple the now Premium subscription lets you watch on 3 devices at once instead of 1. The traditional League Pass annual subscription price costs $174.99 and the monthly price is $24.99.
League Pass Premium will set you back $229.99 for a year or $32.99 a month, but you can at least now split it with friends without needing to share the account one at a time.
Stream every single NBA game for as low as $24.99/mo
Thankfully the cost of League Pass has come down considerably for Australian's. A few years back it was going for close to $400 for the best package and that only gave you 1 device. That cost has near halved now. Plus if you can split League Pass Premium with friends then the cost has come down by over 82%.
It's important to note that annual billing subscriptions will be automatically renewed at the start of each season. So if you aren't keen on paying another few hundred dollars then set a calendar reminder.
While League Pass might seem expensive considering it only allows you to watch 1 sport it does offer the most comprehensive NBA coverage. Prices also tend to fluctuate throughout the season. So you have the option to get by on ESPN coverage early then score a discount on League Pass and watch the run to the NBA Playoffs.
All League Pass packages except for the premium option still only allow you to run 1 stream on any device at a time. The League Pass Premium subscription will let you watch from 3 devices at once.
Although not a special feature, where League Pass separates itself from the competition is with its content. It's the only way to see every single game of the regular season and playoffs live or on demand.
League Pass offers things that can be found elsewhere too like the NBA draft and All-Star Weekend.
