NBA viewing rights depend on where you live. Local broadcasters carry games within a team's designated territory, while national networks and streaming services carry select matchups. That determines which games you can watch live through NBA League Pass.
NBA League Pass carries eligible out-of-market games live. If you live outside the Magic's local TV territory, you can use it for non-national-exclusive games. Nationally exclusive matchups require the broadcaster or streaming service listed in the schedule.
Within the Magic's local territory, League Pass blacks out locally televised games live; those games generally become available three days later. Nationally exclusive games also face live blackouts and generally unlock at 6 a.m. ET the next day.
Instead, you can watch the local package free with an antenna where participating stations are available, or stream it through Magic on DAZN. The standard DAZN subscription costs $19.99/mo or $119.99/season, while Ultimate costs $24.99/mo or $139.99/season.
Free-TV affiliates include MagicTV 27 and select WFTV 9 broadcasts in Orlando, WMOR-TV 32 in Tampa, Action Sports Jax 47 in Jacksonville, WTGB 34.3 in Gainesville, WCTV 6.3 in Tallahassee, and WJHG 7.6 in Panama City.
NBA League Pass is one of the best ways to watch out-of-market NBA games. It’s the NBA’s official streaming service offering live games, replays, and more content than basketball fans can handle.
For $16.99 a month (or $109.99 per season), subscribers can watch live games not aired on national networks or regional sports channels.
For an even more immersive experience, NBA League Pass Premium ($24.99 a month or $159.99 per season) lets you stream live games commercial-free. Premium also lets you download games directly to your device, so you can watch them anytime.
If you’re a die-hard NBA fan living outside local broadcasting areas, you may experience regional blackouts. These can be super frustrating. It doesn’t help that streaming services also enforce geographic restrictions. This means you may not be able to access certain games, regardless of your paid subscription tier. Thankfully, there's a workaround.
Using a virtual private network (VPN) reroutes your internet connection through servers in different cities or countries. This makes it look like you’re browsing from somewhere else and hides your current location. Using a VPN to mask your location lets you bypass restrictions.
If you're trying to watch games outside your usual viewing area, Surfshark is worth considering. It has 600+ U.S. servers across 24 cities in 19 states, giving you plenty of locations to choose from. It also supports unlimited simultaneous device connections, so you can use it on your phone, laptop, and other devices under one subscription.
Surfshark also stands out for its GPS spoofing feature on Android, which most competing VPNs don't offer. This lets you match your phone's GPS location to your VPN server location, making it particularly useful for streaming apps that check both. Keep in mind that VPNs don't guarantee access to regionally restricted games. For step-by-step instructions, see our guide on changing your YouTube TV location.

Score a slam dunk with YouTube TV — one of the best services for streaming NBA games. Their base package price starts at $67.99/mo for first three months, $82.99/mo after and includes all of the channels needed to catch every game — ABC, ESPN, NBC, and NBA TV.
Additionally, YouTube TV offers unlimited cloud DVR services so you can rewatch your favorite moments.
For wallet-conscious fans, the price may seem on the higher end. That being said, the base YouTube TV package also allows for:
YouTube TV is compatible with most smart devices, including FireTV, Roku, and AppleTV. It also works on Google Chromecast, PS4/PS5, Xbox, and even Peloton.
When factoring in cost, the ability for more users to stream content in addition to NBA games may make it a good fit for those who have households with varying interests.
Hulu + Live TV is another excellent option for watching your favorite NBA team. Their “With Ads” packages start at $11.99/mo (with a three-day free trial). Subscribers gain access to over 85 live channels, including ABC, ESPN, and NBC.
There’s an option to upgrade to $18.99/mo to remove ads from some of the Hulu services, but ads will remain in effect for ESPN+. Neither package offers NBA TV.
The subscription also includes nine months of DVR cloud recording so you can rewatch on demand. Hulu + Live TV is easy to access on nearly any device and has an available add-on feature if you need additional screens.
With an extensive on-demand library, Hulu + Live TV is a great choice for those who want both live sports coverage and other entertainment options.
Get off the sidelines and into the game with Sling TV’s affordable packages. Their Orange & Blue package starts out at $60.99/mo. For you to get full coverage (including NBA TV), you’ll need to add the Sports Extra package, bringing the total to $75.99/mo.
Alongside its competitors, Sling TV also provides a cloud DVR feature, which is limited to 50 hours of storage (you can upgrade it to 200 hours for $5.00 a month).

The 11 nationally listed games air on NBC, NBCSN, Peacock, ESPN, Prime Video, or NBA TV; some may also be available through the local broadcast package.

Check the schedule above to see which option applies to your game.
An over-the-air antenna is the cheapest way to watch local Magic games in Central Florida. MagicTV 27 carries the local schedule free over the air, and select games also air on WFTV Channel 9. For the 11 national games, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and Sling TV each carry some of the channels involved, and plans differ, so check the lineup first.
You can watch most Orlando Magic games free over the air on MagicTV 27 or participating Florida affiliates, with select games also on WFTV Channel 9. If you live in the Magic's local territory, you can stream non-national-exclusive games on DAZN for $19.99/mo or $119.99/season. Nationally exclusive games require access to their respective broadcasters or streaming services, including Peacock, ESPN, and Prime Video.
NBA League Pass International is the usual route outside the United States, though coverage varies by country and some games are blacked out by local rights deals, so check the terms where you live before you subscribe. If you are region-blocked while traveling, a top VPN service might help.
