The NBA Playoffs are set to begin on April 15 with a full slate of games featured on TNT, ESPN, ABC, and NBA TV. The top eight teams in the Eastern and Western Conferences will face off in best-of-seven series, with the NBA Finals set to begin on June 1.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks sit at the top of the Eastern Conference alongside the Boston Celtics, who beat the Bucks on their way to the finals last year. The Western Conference is led by the Denver Nuggets and 2022 most valuable player Nikola Jokic, while the defending champion Golden State Warriors are the sixth seed.

How to watch the NBA Playoffs in the US

You can watch the NBA Playoffs on ESPN, TNT, ABC, and NBA TV, with select games scheduled across each channel. Games on ABC are free to watch if you have access to broadcast TV, but you’ll need to have a pay-TV provider to access ESPN, TNT, and NBA TV.

If you don’t have cable, you can sign up for a live TV streaming service like Sling TV, Hulu + Live TV, FuboTV, or YouTube TV to watch NBA playoff games. Games on ABC will typically be streamed via ESPN3 as well.

The Sling Orange package includes ESPN, ESPN3, and TNT for $40 a month, making it the most affordable streaming service to watch the NBA Playoffs. New members get 50% off their first month, which brings the starting price down to $20. NBA TV is available through Sling with the Sports Extra add-on for an additional $11 a month.

It should be noted that NBA TV will only feature games during the first round of the playoffs.
