How to watch NBA in the UK – fixtures on TV, live stream, Sky Sports and NBA League Pass
The 2021 NBA season has started and there's a whole lot of action to soak up to kick-start the year.
Published:
The NBA continues to bubble along nicely in 2021 with the Philadelphia 76ers and LA Lakers exerting their dominance over the Eastern and Western Conferences respectively.
The Boston Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers are also doing well in the East, but it’s a more lukewarm affair than the fireworks popping across the West.
Utah Jazz are on a nine-game winning streak, and the Denver Nuggets and Memphis Grizzlies have totted up four and five game runs of their own.
The excellent Netflix documentary The Last Dance may have piqued your interest over lockdown, and there’s no better time to get into following the NBA than at the beginning of a fresh campaign.
More game times are being tailored for international audiences in 2020/21, which is great news for UK fans, meaning you can watch some of the biggest NBA games and still get a regular eight-hour sleep like the rest of the general public.
RadioTimes.com has taken a look at all the games coming up over the coming weeks.
