About NBA League Pass
NBA League Pass is the official subscription service of the National Basketball Association (NBA), providing fans with live and on-demand access to a majority of out-of-market games throughout the regular season. The service is a necessity for die-hard fans, especially those who live outside their favorite team's local broadcasting area or who want to follow multiple teams across the league. League Pass offers multiple viewing options, including home and away team broadcasts, multi-view features, and comprehensive archives, making it the most convenient way to consume non-local NBA action.
What are the Best Ways to Save at NBA League Pass?
- Student Discount (40% Off Monthly): Students (undergraduate and graduate) are eligible for a substantial 40% discount on the standard monthly subscription price. Verification is typically done through a service like UNiDAYS.
- Opt for the Annual Subscription: Purchasing the full season pass upfront (either basic or Premium) offers a significant discount (often 30%–40% off) compared to paying the monthly rate for the full season.
- The 7-Day Free Trial: New subscribers can take advantage of a seven-day free trial of the standard or Premium plans to test the service, quality, and features before committing to a paid subscription.
- Downgrade to Team Pass: If you only follow one team that is out-of-market, the NBA Team Pass offers a cheaper monthly and annual subscription price than the full League Pass.
- Third-Party Promotions: Look for promotional codes or bundled deals offered by major partners like Amazon Prime Video, Roku, or cable/internet providers that occasionally offer discounts or free months.

NBA League Pass Services and Policies
- Blackout Restrictions: This is the most important policy. Games televised nationally (e.g., ESPN, TNT, ABC) or regionally (local RSNs) are blacked out live on League Pass in the US and Canada. These blacked-out games are typically available for viewing on-demand 3 hours after the live broadcast ends.
- Cancellation Policy (Monthly): Monthly subscriptions can be canceled at any time, and the service will terminate at the end of the current billing cycle.
- Cancellation Policy (Annual): Annual subscriptions are generally non-refundable and lock you in for the full season. However, providers (like NBA.com or cable partners) often allow cancellations and full refunds within a short grace period (e.g., one week) after the start of the season.
- Viewing Platforms: Available on a wide range of devices, including the NBA App (iOS, Android, Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, Xbox, PlayStation).
- Home/Away Feeds: Subscribers can choose to watch the game using either the home team's broadcast feed or the away team's broadcast feed.
NBA League Pass Frequently Asked Questions
What does "out-of-market" mean?
It means any game that is not broadcast locally in your geographic area. For example, if you live in Boston, a Celtics game is "in-market" and blacked out on League Pass. A Lakers game played in LA is "out-of-market" and available.
Do I get all the playoff games?
No. All NBA Playoff games, Conference Finals, and The Finals are broadcast nationally (on ESPN, TNT, or ABC) and are therefore blacked out live on League Pass.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. League Pass typically offers a 7-day free trial for new subscribers, which includes access to both the standard and Premium plans.
Is it cheaper to buy through a third party (like Amazon Prime)?
Prices for League Pass can vary slightly across third-party platforms. Additionally, buying through a partner may offer integration benefits (like Prime Video's new multi-view feature) but may limit where you can watch the content.
