How to watch and live stream NBA basketball in the 2025 season

There aren't many sports like basketball that bring people together from all around the world, and no competition can match the NBA as the pinnacle of the game. Thirty teams across North America meet every season, crossing throws and soles on the court as they pursue silverware and success.

As one of the most-watched leagues worldwide, the NBA has evolved into a multi-billion-dollar enterprise, broadcast to virtually every corner, and features a slew of superstar players who are part of the American cultural psyche.

With each team playing 82 matches per season, the sheer number of games is staggering in a regular campaign, and that's before the postseason drama that brings things to a thrilling finale - and with that comes a litany of different broadcasters providing coverage across the year.

NBA signed multiple rights deals with three networks and streamers. This will be the first of 11 years signed as part of the deal.

So, how can you ensure you don't miss a moment of NBA action? Allow GOAL to guide you through.
