NBA League Pass Plans and Pricing

NBA League Pass is built for fans who want live, out-of-market NBA games during the regular season. In the U.S., live games involving your local team and nationally distributed matchups are blacked out, so even the most expensive League Pass plan won’t replace your local and national NBA coverage.

Still, the three NBA League Pass tiers give fans multiple options for following teams outside their local market. Team Pass covers one out-of-market team, while League Pass and League Pass Premium unlock eligible games across the entire league. Premium adds extra viewing features but doesn’t expand the live game slate.

This guide stays focused on NBA League Pass plans, prices, billing, and discounts. For our hands-on take on the service’s streaming experience, features, and overall value, read our NBA League Pass review.

How much does NBA League Pass cost?

Data effective as of post date. Offers and availability are subject to change. Blackout restrictions apply.

NBA.com offers monthly and season-long billing for League Pass and League Pass Premium, while Team Pass is available monthly. Paying for the season upfront can lower the total cost if you plan to keep League Pass long term, while monthly billing gives you more flexibility.

The prices above reflect NBA.com’s direct rates. Third-party providers may offer different pricing or billing options, and season-long subscriptions automatically renew before the following season unless you cancel.

What’s the difference between NBA League Pass plans?

Team Pass is the most focused option. It makes sense if you mainly follow one team outside your local market and don’t need access to eligible games from across the rest of the league.

NBA League Pass opens eligible out-of-market games across the league and includes NBA TV, replays, alternate broadcasts, and multiview. You can stream on one device at a time.

NBA League Pass Premium carries the same eligible live games as the standard plan but upgrades the viewing experience. Premium replaces commercial breaks with in-arena feeds, supports offline downloads, and allows up to three simultaneous streams.

What your NBA League Pass subscription doesn’t cover live

Price isn’t the only consideration with League Pass. In the U.S., your local NBA team games and nationally distributed games are unavailable live through League Pass because of blackout restrictions. Premium doesn’t remove those blackouts.

Under the NBA’s League Pass blackout rules, nationally distributed games become available at 6:00 a.m. ET the following day. Locally televised games take longer, becoming available three days after the live broadcast ends. To watch every game live, you’ll need League Pass plus access to the appropriate local and national broadcasters.
