Basketball fans will now be able to watch NBA games that aren't locally televised without committing to a pricey season-long deal.
NBA League Pass, the league's out-of-market live game service, will soon let fans buy single game and team packages for the 2015-16 season. Viewers will be able pay to watch select out-of-market games throughout the season for $6.99 per game, or $119.99 for one team's whole season. The packages are available for all 30 NBA teams starting Sept. 8.
[seealso slug=http://sale-online.click/2015/07/22/hbo-bill-simmons/%5D%3C/p%3E%3Cp%3ELeague Pass has been around since 1994, but it was limited to a single bulk option in which you had to buy more than 1,000 out-of-market games for $199.99.
“Most people don’t want to consume that many games,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said at a conference in March, according to Sports Illustrated.
NBA League Pass is available in more than 200 countries and territories. The service is available via cable providers, but fans can also watch games on their computers, tablets or mobile devices with NBA League Pass Broadband.
Fans buying single games on broadband can watch from a computer, tablet or mobile device. The NBA said it is in discussion with television distributors, but do not know which ones will offer single game purchases.
