How to watch the NBA in 2023-24: Complete Live Streaming Guide
Here is everything you need to know to watch the Los Angeles Lakers and the rest of the NBA on cable and on streaming for the 2023-24 season.
lakeshowlife.comHere’s the latest on Los Angeles Lakers and NBA League Pass as of now.
- Lakers and NBA League Pass basics: League Pass lets out-of-market fans watch live and on-demand games, but local/in-market games may be blacked out due to rights with Spectrum SportsNet and local broadcasters. This remains the standard arrangement for Lakers fans outside the local broadcast footprint.[3][6]
- Current pricing and options: Typical options include NBA League Pass (season access), League Pass Premium (additional features like multiple-device streaming and fewer ads), and Team Pass (follow one team). Prices have varied by year and region; recent write-ups show annual pricing around the low hundreds for basic options and higher for premium tiers, with some services noting monthly trial periods.[1][5][3]
- Lakers-specific notes from 2024–2025 season coverage: Media outlets highlighted which teams and players Lakers stars—like LeBron James—were watching via League Pass, indicating the feature’s appeal for fans who want broader league access beyond their own team.[2]
- How to watch Lakers games this season: If you’re out of market, League Pass is the primary method for many fans to access games not nationally televised; in-market games remain subject to blackout unless they are aired on NBA TV or you’re viewing via an official local provider or streaming bundle that carries the channel.[6][3]
- Alternatives and tips: Some providers offer add-ons or bundles (e.g., streaming services with League Pass as an add-on) and there are sometimes free trials or promotional pricing; checking current season-specific offers from NBA and major streaming platforms is advised.[1]
Illustration: A quick snapshot of common options
- NBA League Pass: live/out-of-market games + replays; basic access
- League Pass Premium: same as above plus commercial-free Finals coverage and multi-device streaming
- Team Pass: follows one team all season
- Local blackout caveat: Lakers games in-market often not available live on League Pass due to local rights
