The 2024 NBA Finals Boston Celtics vs. Dallas Mavericks series has been nothing if not dramatic. Celtics stars Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Jrue Holiday are delivering championship-worthy performances game after game, while Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving led the Mavericks out of a three-game deficit, forcing a Game 5.
That’s good news for the Mavs, but they must win tonight — and every remaining game of the 2024 NBA Finals if they want to keep their championship hopes alive.
Tonight’s game will surely be an exciting fight to the finish no basketball fan should miss. The good news is, even if you’ve cut the cord with your cable company, you don’t have to miss a single play or game of the 2024 NBA Finals. Keep reading below to learn how to watch the 2024 NBA Finals tonight.
The 2024 NBA Finals is a best-of-seven series. The next game in the Dallas Mavericks vs. Boston Celtics series, Game 5, will be played on Monday, June 17, 2024 at 8:30 p.m. ET (5:30 p.m. PT). That game, and all others in the 2024 NBA Finals series, will air on ABC and stream on Sling TV and the platforms featured below.
If your cable subscription doesn’t include ABC, or if you’ve cut the cord with your cable company, you can still watch the 2024 NBA Finals. Below are the top platforms that carry the NBA Finals live.
One of the most cost-effective ways to stream the NBA Finals is through a subscription to Sling TV. To watch NBA basketball live, you’ll need a subscription to the Blue tier, which includes access to your local ABC affiliate’s live feed. To level up your coverage and get access to sports broadcasts on ESPN and TNT, subscribe to the Orange + Blue tier plan.
Sling TV is currently offering 50% off your first month on any pricing tier. That means you’ll pay $22.50 for your first month of the Blue tier (normally $45 per month) or $30 for your first month of the more inclusive Orange + Blue tier (normally $60 per month).
Top features of Sling TV Orange + Blue tier:
You can also catch the NBA Finals on Fubo. Fubo is a sports-centric streaming service that offers access to ABC and ESPN, in addition to almost every NFL game next season.
To watch the NBA Finals without cable, start a seven-day free trial of Fubo. You can begin watching immediately on your TV, phone, tablet or computer. In addition to NBA basketball, you’ll have access to NFL football, MLB, NBA, NHL, MLS and international soccer games. Fubo’s Pro Tier is priced at $80 per month after your free seven-day trial.
Sports fans will want to consider adding on the $7.99 per month Fubo Extra package, which includes MLB Network, NBA TV, NHL Network, Tennis Channel, SEC Network and more channels with live games. Or upgrade to the Fubo Elite tier and get all the Fubo Extra channels, plus the ability to stream in 4K, starting at $90 per month ($70 for the first month).
Top features of FuboTV Pro Tier:
You can watch the NBA Finals with the Hulu + Live TV/ESPN+ bundle. The bundle features 95 channels, including ABC, TNT, local network affiliates and ESPN. It also includes the ESPN+ streaming service. Unlimited DVR storage is also included. Watch the 2024 NBA Finals, MLB this season and network-aired NFL games next season with Hulu + Live TV/ESPN+ bundle.
Hulu + Live TV comes bundled with ESPN+ and Disney+. It’s priced at $77 per month after a three-day free trial.
You can also watch tonight’s game on TV with an affordable indoor antenna, which pulls in local over-the-air HDTV channels such as CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, PBS, Univision and more. Here’s the kicker: There’s no monthly charge.
For anyone living in a partially blocked-off area (those near mountains or first-floor apartments), a digital TV antenna may not pick up a good signal — or any signal at all. But for many homes, a digital TV antenna provides a seriously inexpensive way to watch sports without paying a cable company. Indoor TV antennas can also provide some much-needed TV backup if a storm knocks out your cable.
This ultra-thin, multi-directional Mohu Leaf Supreme Pro digital antenna with a 65-mile range can receive hundreds of HD TV channels, including ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, Fox and Univision and can filter out cellular and FM signals. It delivers a high-quality picture in 1080p HDTV, top-tier sound and features a 12-foot digital coax cable.
Rooting from home is more fun while repping your team with the latest NBA fan gear. Fanatics is our first stop for the newest NBA fan gear, our go-to for the latest drop of NBA Finals merch like jerseys, commemorative T-shirts, hats and more. Fanatics also has just-released NFL Draft jerseys, like No. 1 overall draft pick Caleb Williams‘ new Chicago Bears jersey.
