The 2023-24 NBA Playoffs are underway, as close to a dozen-and-a-half teams face off across three scintillating rounds of action all the way through to the climax of the season. The 2024 NBA Finals will serve as the last act of another enthralling year, and only two sides can make it there.

The showpiece event of the NBA season, the finals follow the same format as the rest of the NBA Playoffs. They pit two sides - in this case, the respective champion teams of the Eastern and Western Conferences - in a best-of-seven encounter, with the victor crowned the NBA Champion.

Last year’s victors, the Denver Nuggets, are one of several sides with designs on the title once again this campaign, but between them and a historic repeat, a sweeping slate of other contenders are firmly in the mix to prevail and get their hands on the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy come June.

So, how will you be able to watch the climax unfold? Where can you catch every game of the NBA Finals, and where will they take place? GOAL guides you through all you need to know, including where to watch, when to catch, and how to stay on top of all the action.

The 2024 NBA Finals are not yet confirmed for a location but will take place at the respective two home arenas of both the Eastern and Western Conference winners. The team with the best regular-season record of the two is then awarded home advantage.

This means they will host Games 1, 2, 5, and 7, while the other team will host Games 3, 4, and 6 if the NBA Finals stretch beyond the mandatory four games.
