Some online stores and services have what’s called “dynamic pricing” algorithms. That means they adjust their prices for each customer on an individual basis according to various factors. Instead of being shown the best price, you’re shown a price that the algorithm thinks you’ll pay. Notorious (and controversial) examples of dynamic pricing include airline tickets, ride-sharing services, hotels and Airbnbs, sports and concert tickets. The price you see could fluctuate for all kinds of reasons. You can defend yourself against dynamic pricing by deleting the cookies saved in your web browser. A cookie is a file stored on your device by a website that’s used to track your activity and remember things about you—and when dynamic pricing is in play, websites use cookies when determining what price to show you. If you delete your browser cookies before shopping online, you may see cheaper prices.Joel Lee / Foundry In Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and most other modern browsers, you can press the Ctrl + Shift + Delete keyboard shortcut to open the “Delete browsing data” window.

Just like with hockey and baseball, your options for watching local NBA games this year can vary drastically based on where you live. In 2025, all but one NBA team offers standalone streaming options, allowing you to watch in-market games without an expensive pay TV package. Six NBA teams are also broadcasting local games over the air, so you can watch for free with an antenna (don’t miss TechHive’s top TV antenna recommendations). Meanwhile, a couple of pay TV holdouts remain. Wouldn’t it be nice if someone provided a single page on which to look up your local NBA team and see what you needed to watch in-market games without cable for the 2024-2025 season? That is precisely the service we are providing right here. (If you missed it, here’s a similar resource for this season’s NHL coverage.) NBA in-market streaming options: An overview for 2024-2025 Below is a chart showing every National Basketball Association team, its corresponding local channel or regional sports network, the live TV streaming services that carry those channels, and whether any standalone alternatives exist. Note that these options only apply for locally televised, in-market games. We’ll get to the options for nationally televised games—including most playoff coverage—in a bit. If you find this chart difficult to read, you can also view a version on Google Sheets.

Out-of-market NBA streaming As in previous years, NBA League Pass lets you watch any out-of-market game that isn’t nationally-televised. If your favorite team plays in a different city from where you live, you can forgo the regional sports options above and get League Pass instead. It costs $17 per month or $110 for the season. What about nationally televised games? The unbundled options above won’t entitle you to NBA games that air on national television, including the playoffs and in-season tournament (now dubbed the “Emirates NBA Cup”). Those games are split between ESPN, ABC, and TNT, with a small number of playoff games on NBA TV, so figuring out the best course of action can get tricky. TNT’s basketball coverage is still included with Max at $10 per month with ads or $17 per month without. While Warner eventually plans to charge an extra $10 per month for live sports, it’s not doing so yet. NBA TV is available on a standalone basis through NBA League Pass, which also includes out-of-market games. It costs $17 per month or $110 for the season. As for the other channels, you could try to pick up ABC’s coverage with an antenna, but that still doesn’t help you with the games on ESPN. All of which brings us to live TV streaming services, which are the best way to bundle everything together: Sling TV Orange is the cheapest option at $40 per month (plus an extra $11 per month for NBA TV), but it’s missing ABC in all but a handful of markets. YouTube TV is a more complete option at $73 per month. Hulu + Live TV costs $83 per month but does not carry NBA TV. Fubo includes regional sports in many markets, but is much pricier at $92 per month (or more, depending on regional sports fees) and lacks TNT, a major source of NBA coverage. DirecTV Stream also includes regional sports for most markets in its “Choice” package, but it’s expensive at $115 per month. Ultimately you’ll have to decide whether to piece things together (or even forgo some NBA coverage) in pursuit of greater savings, or pay more for the convenience of a bigger bundle.

There are too many ways to pay for streaming TV services now, and that includes MLB.TV. Major League Baseball’s out-of-market streaming service isn’t just available directly through the league. You can also subscribe through Amazon Prime, Sling, and Fubo. (T-Mobile customers can also redeem a full season of MLB.TV for free this week.) But unless you sign up for MLB.TV directly, you might miss out on some major subscription perks without getting anything in exchange. You might even wind up paying more for less. MLB.TV can cost more elsewhere The main reason to get MLB.TV is to stream live, out-of-market baseball games. That perk is the same no matter where you sign up, at least if want to watch any non-local team. (Watching your home team is a different story; you can read about your in-market baseball streaming options here.) But depending on where you live and which teams you want to watch, MLB.TV can cost more from other sources. Fubo and Sling TV, for instance, offer only MLB.TV’s “all teams” package, which costs $30 per month. You can’t sign up for MLB.TV’s single-team plans, which cost $130 for the entire season. Fubo and Sling don’t sell full-season subscriptions, either. They only offer monthly plans at $30 per month, versus $150 per year through MLB.TV directly. Over the full six-month season, MLB’TV’s annual plan would save you $30. (The league also typically offers MLB.TV deals as the season goes on.) For fans of the Diamondbacks, Guardians, Rockies, Twins, and Padres, there’s one more wrinkle to consider: MLB distributes those teams’ in-market games for $100 per season, with an option to bundle MLB.TV’s out-of-market coverage for an extra $100 instead of the usual $150. This bundle deal isn’t available from other providers. Similarly, the league is partnering with NBC Sports to deliver in-market games for the Phillies ($25 per month), Giants ($20 per month), and Athletics ($20 per month). You can add MLB.TV’s out-of-market games to those plans for an extra $20 per month, but you’ll pay the full $30-per-month price if you sign up anywhere else. The perks may be different If price alone doesn’t persuade you, an MLB.TV subscription has additional benefits that are only available through the MLB app: Access to the MLB Network live feed MLB Big Inning for whip around game coverage Live game audio The ability to listen to the radio broadcast while watching the telecast Depending on where you sign up, you might not have access to those features, or you might need to jump through hoops to get them. Amazon Prime’s MLB.TV subscription, for instance, doesn’t provide direct access to the MLB Network, Big Inning, or radio broadcasts, and there’s no apparent way to link an Amazon account with the MLB app. (I’ve reached out to Amazon for clarification.) MLB.TV does offer a way to link your Sling or Fubo accounts, in theory providing all the benefits of a direct subscription. But the instructions for doing so are buried deep in the MLB.TV support site, and when I tried linking a Fubo test account, it didn’t work. If you care about MLB Network, Big Inning, and live game audio, I suggest a direct MLB TV subscription to be on the safe side. There’s also one notable downside to the free season of MLB.TV that T-Mobile is offering its customers this week: Unlike a standard MLB.TV subscription, it doesn’t include an MLB Network live feed. If that channel is a must, you must pay for it separately. Think before you subscribe Third-party MLB.TV subscriptions aren’t completely without merit. If you’re already paying for Fubo or Sling TV, for instance, adding MLB.TV will let you watch out-of-market games in the same app you use to watch lots of other live sporting events. You’ll also have one fewer billing system to manage. But is that worth potentially paying more and either getting less or dealing with account linking hassles? I think not.
