How to watch the 2023 NBA In-Season Tournament
Although all of the NBA In-Season Tournament games are broadcast on ESPN, TNT, ABC, NBA TV and on NBA League Pass. If you already have a pay-TV provider and access to ESPN, ABC or TNT, you may watch NBA games live on their individual apps. Simply enter your login information.

YouTube TV:
Hulu + Live TV:
Some of the NBA In-Season Tournament games are available to stream on ESPN and TNT with Hulu + Live TV. Unfortunately, the service does not include Bally Sports, NBA TV, or NBA League Pass.
With over 90 channels, Hulu + Live TV is available for as little as $76.99 a month. In the meantime, the bundle offers unlimited cloud DVR, up to two screens for simultaneous viewing, Disney+ and ESPN+, and access to Hulu’s streaming library.
NBA League Pass:
You can purchase NBA League Pass as an add-on through our other suggested services. However, you can also purchase the out-of-market package separately.
The ability to watch all games live that are not in your local area is the biggest advantage of NBA League Pass. You won’t, however, be able to watch live games of your local team or nationally televised events like the NBA Playoffs or NBA Finals through the program.
Fubo TV:
The most expensive streaming service on our list is Fubo, which does not include TNT. ABC and ESPN are included in the basic Pro plan, which costs $74.99 a month. NBA TV is a feature of the $8 add-on Fubo Extra. The Fubo Elite bundle, which adds numerous additional channels and costs $84.99, includes Fubo Extra. For an additional $14.99, you can add NBA League Pass, which ensures access to all out-of-market games.
The players on the teams that compete in the Knockout Rounds will get a portion of the In-Season Tournament prize pool for the 2023–24 season, with the amount of the prize pool growing based on a team’s level of tournament advancement.
The NBA will announce the All-Tournament Team and the Most Valuable Player of the competition following the end of the In-Season Tournament. The players’ performances in both the Group Play and Knockout Rounds will determine who gets chosen.
