How to Stream the 2024 NBA Playoffs on NBA League Pass
- Free Trial: 7 days (subject to availability)
- Available Games: All games
You can watch every playoff game live and on demand with NBA League Pass. A free trial is available if you register during the regular season or before the playoffs start. You can register for an account through the NBA app or website – the price will vary based on your location.
NBA League Pass doesn’t stream the playoffs or Finals in the US due to blackout restrictions, which sucks if you’re traveling to the US. CyberGhost VPN gives you an easy solution: connect to one of our VPN servers in your home country to watch the NBA playoffs without a problem.

Sling TV

The Sling TV Orange plan is the cheapest way to access all the channels showing the NBA Playoffs in one place. It includes ESPN, ESPN3, TNT, and ABC (in some ZIP codes), and if you get the NBA League Pass add-on, you’ll get the first round games on NBA TV. If ABC isn’t available in your region, the games are also on ESPN3, so you won’t miss out on any of them.
Sling TV isn’t available outside the US, but if you’re traveling abroad you can still access it with Cyberghost VPN. Connect to one of our steaming-optimized servers for Sling TV to watch just as you would at home.

Its Multiview feature lets you watch up to 4 games at once, so you don’t have to flip channels. It also has unlimited DVR, so you can record as many games as you want to watch or rewatch anytime.
YouTube TV has a 7-day free trial you can activate when creating your account. Just enter your credit card details and ZIP code to get access to all channels available in your area, free of charge for a week.

If Fubo is blocked by your school or office network, you can get around this restriction with CyberGhost VPN. Our VPN encryption hides your activity from the network which allows you to bypass the block. Remember, Fubo is only available in the US, so you need to choose one of our VPN servers in the US.

- Available Games: All games
Hulu+ Live TV has 90+ channels, including ESPN, TNT, ABC, and NBA TV, so you can live stream all the NBA playoff excitement.

Where to Live Stream the 2024 NBA Playoffs in the UK
Discovery+

- Channel: TNT Sports
- Available Games: All games
TNT Sports owns the broadcast rights to the NBA in the UK, and live streams every NBA Playoff game on its Discovery+ streaming platform. The games are also available on demand for a few days afterwards so you can catch up on any games that you couldn’t watch live.
Discovery+ also has a pregame show, postgame analysis, and highlights from all NBA playoff games. You can get a free 7-day trial when you register for an account.
Discovery+ is only showing the playoffs in the UK, which can be frustrating if you’re traveling abroad. You can get around this easily by connecting to a VPN server in the UK, and stream like you would back home.

2024 NBA Playoff Schedule
The NBA Playoffs kick off with the Play-In Tournament, as the 7th–10th seeds in each conference play for the final two spots in the NBA Playoffs.
After the pre-tournament, the postseason continues with three rounds of elimination playoffs. The resulting champions of the Eastern and Western Conferences then go on to compete in the NBA Finals.
In the Western Conference, the Denver Nuggets, led by two-time MVP Nikola Jokić, are looking to repeat as NBA Champs. They’re facing tough competition from the hot Los Angeles Clippers, with a big three of Paul George, James Harden and Kawhi Leonard – as well as the surprising Oklahoma City Thunder.
Things don’t look as competitive in the Eastern Conference, especially as the Knicks haven’t been getting the expected production from recently-recovered Jalen Brunson, and the Bucks aren’t sure when Giannis Antetokounmpo will be ready following his leg injury. This may create a relatively easy path for the Boston Celtics to return to the NBA Finals.

A VPN with 10-Gbps Servers
You need a speedy connection to stream sports. CyberGhost VPN gives you a lightning-fast connection that ensures you’ll enjoy pixel-perfect streams with no lag or buffering.
We also give you unlimited bandwidth. This way, you can watch as many NBA Playoff doubleheaders as you want without worrying about using up a daily or monthly VPN data allowance.
Some ISPs have a nasty tactic of slowing down your internet speed when you need it the most – when you’re streaming video. VPN encryption hides your activity, so your ISP can’t see that you’re streaming. This will allow you to stream the NBA Playoffs in HD quality with no annoying slowdowns.
Prevent Activity-Based ISP Throttling
Securely Stream the NBA Playoffs on Public Wi-Fi
You should be able to use your mobile device to watch the NBA playoffs in a cafe, on a bus, in a hotel, or anywhere else. Unsecured public WI-Fi networks can leave you vulnerable to cybercriminals looking to steal your streaming passwords and other sensitive data.
CyberGhost VPN encrypts your connection to secure your device from bad actors looking to steal your data. Go ahead and watch the NBA Playoffs in the mall, at the airport, or anywhere you want – we’ll keep you secure.

Can I use a VPN to watch sports from a different country?
Some sports fans may connect to a VPN server in a country where certain sports events are available in order to watch from a different country. While we don't snoop on our users' online activity, this is against our terms of service and is not acceptable.
Rest assured that CyberGhost VPN never logs your browsing data and your activity is always private, but you should always comply with all relevant terms and applicable law, including copyright.
