What will it cost you to watch the NBA on League Pass?

So you want to know how much League Pass costs? Well let me answer your question with another question: can you really put a price on endless amounts of pure, unadulterated NBA joy?

Of course not. Whether you need it to watch your favorite team from afar or to hook it straight into your veins like a basketball junkie, force your eyes open like A Clockwork Orange and hold on tight.

You can watch every game in real time, complete with the charm of local commercials and each team’s announcers. These announcers span from mildly objective all the way to fully-immersed in a tank of freshly-brewed homerism. It’s pretty fantastic. You even get to choose between the home or away team’s feed, once you find your favorite crews.

Blackouts apply for local markets or for national telecasts, but replays and condensed, easily-digestible versions are available shortly after the games end, regardless of blackout restrictions.

If you want a primer on which teams should exude the most excitement and nuance, you should check out Zach Lowe’s annual two-part League Pass Power Rankings.

The NBA offers an array of different options. The premium package runs for $249.99 (or $39.99 monthly) and gives you access to all the games throughout the season with in-arena streams during breaks so there will be no commercials. They’re even rolling out virtual reality production for certain games this year.

The next step down is $199.99 ($28.99 per month) and it provides all the games, just without the stream, so you’ll have to sit through commercials like a peasant.

Next. Meet the 2018 NBA 25-under-25. dark

If you’re only interested in following one team, $119.99 ($17.99 per month) grants that wish. There’s also an audio-only option that’ll just set you back a one-time fee of $9.99. Here’s the link to check out the full features and pricing for each subscription package.

The NBA has arguably never been better or more talented and League Pass supplies the best platform for mass consumption.
