The Boston Celtics come into the 2025 season fresh off the back of a 64 wins against 18 losses regular season that culminated in franchise's 18th championship.
Boston's primary task heading into the offseason was to keep their championship winning squad together, and they did just that by shelling out massive contract extensions to All-NBA small forward Jayson Tatum and guard Derrick White.
The Celtics also added rookies Baylor Scheierman and Anton Watson in the draft to increase their depth in the front court.
Boston's biggest question mark will be whether 39-year-old big man Al Horford can continue to perform a high-level or if his skills will finally start to decline. If Horford's game does begin to fall off it may spell trouble for the Celtics given Kristaps Porzingis's injury issues.

Peacock offers Regional Sports Networks as add-on subscriptions to Peacock Premium and Peacock Premium Plus Plan subscribers. Those who purchase the add-on subscription will gain access to NBC Sports Bay Area, NBC Sports Boston, NBC Sports California or NBC Sports Philadelphia to stream the networks’ live 24/7 channel.
The RSNs are a monthly add-on and you must first have a Peacock Premium or Peacock Premium Plus subscription to purchase one.
Your location must show within the territory of the respective RSN to watch its regional sports coverage. Even if the RSN is available to purchase in your zip code, you may still experience in-market blackouts of certain teams’ games (including blackouts of all games for certain teams in particular zip codes) based on your location consistent with television availability and league policies.
Verizon Fios
Verizon is available across a large percentage of Massachusetts but is not yet entirely statewide.
Their higher end packages have the biggest channel line-up. Their fibre-optic network offers a fast and reliable connection alongside excellent picture quality. They also frequently rank well for customer service in cable company reviews.
Astound Broadband
Astound, previously advertised as 'RCN', are a smaller regional provider that are available in parts of Massachusetts.
With all the channels needed for Celtics games, cheap prices and, as the name suggests, combined broadband offerings, they are certainly worth checking out if you are within the Boston metro area.
DIRECTV
Along with access to NBC Sports Boston and the aforementioned national sports channels, DirecTV also offer an NBA League Pass for access to out-of-market NBA games.
As mentioned elsewhere across this article, DirecTV also offers a wire-cutting option in the form of DirecTV Stream.
For the best overall experience, Xfinity or Verizon Fios is likely your best bet in Massachusetts due to widespread availability, channel selection, and reliable service. However, if you're in the Boston metro area, Astound Broadband is also a strong contender.
