How to watch NBA Summer League

How to watch NBA Summer League

The NBA Summer League games will air on ESPN, ESPN2, and NBA TV this summer. For sports fans without cable, you can find those channels on several streaming services, including DIRECTV STREAM, Sling TV, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV and YouTube TV. 

How to watch NBA Summer League with DIRECTV STREAM

DIRECTV STREAM gives subscribers four options - the Entertainment, Choice, Ultimate and Premier packages. The base Entertainment package includes both ESPN and ESPN2 for Summer League Coverage. To get NBA TV, you'll need to upgrade to the Choice package. 

While the Choice package costs a bit more, the cost is worth it for sports fans, especially those who want to keep up with their local NBA team in the regular season. The Choice package and above include regional sports networks (RSNs) along with NBA TV, NFL Network, MLB Network and more. DIRECTV STREAM offers unlimited Cloud DVR storage.

How to watch NBA Summer League with Fubo

With Fubo, you can choose from the Essential, Pro or Elite packages. The Essential plan is the most affordable of the three and includes ESPN and ESPN2. To add NBA TV to your Fubo channel lineup, you'll need the Fubo Extra add-on. 

The good news for NBA fans is that the Pro plan also includes RSNs. However, Fubo has a regional sports fee that gets tacked on to the monthly subscription. The service is also missing TBS, TNT and truTV. Fubo now has unlimited DVR.

How to watch NBA Summer League with Hulu + Live TV

The Hulu + Live TV channel lineup includes ESPN and ESPN2 but NBA TV is not available on the streaming service, so your Summer League coverage will be limited with this option. 

A huge draw for Hulu for sports fans is that a subscription includes access to Disney Plus and ESPN Plus, which adds a substantial amount of sports coverage, along with huge on-demand libraries of titles for the whole family. Hulu has unlimited Cloud DVR.

How to watch NBA Summer League with Sling TV

With Sling TV, you can choose between three packages - Sling Orange, Sling Blue and Sling Orange & Blue. To get access to ESPN networks for Summer League coverage, you'll want Sling Blue. To get NBA TV, you'll also need to add the Sports Extra add-on. 

Sling TV is the most budget-friendly service and has what you need to tune in and watch Summer League games. Along with ESPN, a Sling Blue subscription will give you NFL Network, FS1, TBS, truTV and more. Sling comes with 50 hours of DVR storage, with the option to upgrade to 200 for an additional monthly fee.

How to watch NBA Summer League with YouTube TV

YouTube TV only has one base plan available but that plan has everything you'll need for Summer League coverage - ESPN, ESPN 2 and NBA TV without needing to sign up for any upgrades or extras. 

YouTube TV also has FS1, FS2, NFL Network, TBS, TNT and more channels for sports. If you're looking for even more channels, you can add the Sports Plus add-on, which has 16 channels including NFL RedZone. YouTube TV also has unlimited DVR.
