How to watch Orlando Magic vs New York Knicks NBA game: Tip-off time, cable channels, RSNs, livestream providers, international coverage

On Saturday, December 13, 2025, the second-seeded New York Knicks will face the fourth-seeded Orlando Magic at the T-Mobile Arena, with a spot in the Championship Game and a significant financial purse on the line and GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.

This contest represents more than just a single elimination game; it is a collision of two franchises at distinct stages of their competitive lifecycles. The Knicks, operating under the new leadership of head coach Mike Brown following the offseason departure of Tom Thibodeau, have embraced an "all-in" philosophy. Their roster, architected around the collegiate synergy of the "Nova Knicks"—Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and Mikal Bridges—and the blockbuster acquisition of Karl-Anthony Towns, was constructed with championship expectations as the baseline. 

Conversely, the Orlando Magic, led by Jamahl Mosley, represent the triumph of organic growth and defensive resilience. Despite navigating a season defined by significant injuries to their young stars, including Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, the Magic have maintained their status as a defensive juggernaut and a legitimate threat in the East.   

The backdrop of the Las Vegas Strip adds a layer of grandeur to the proceedings. The transition from home arenas to a neutral site at T-Mobile Arena neutralizes the Knicks' formidable home-court advantage at Madison Square Garden, where they have been nearly unbeatable this season, and places the spotlight squarely on execution and adaptability. With the Knicks boasting one of the league's most potent offenses and the Magic countering with a top-tier defensive rating, this semifinal is poised to be a definitive stress test for both squads
