How to live stream the NBA with a VPN

Bypass streaming restrictions on restricted Wi-Fi networks and live stream NBA games from anywhere:

  1. Get ExpressVPN.
  2. Connect to a server location that matches the broadcaster you want to watch. For example, United States basketball fans can connect to a server in the U.S. to catch games on Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, or YouTube TV.
  3. It’s game time!

Watching on a computer? For the best streaming experience, use the ExpressVPN browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.

Why you need a VPN to stream the NBA

Some internet and network providers might slow your connection if they think you’re streaming too much, causing laggy streams and buffering. A VPN encrypts your traffic, keeping your online activity private from your ISP, allowing you to bypass throttling and watch NBA games without any issues.

If you’re working at night and the Wi-Fi at your job blocks streaming services, you could miss out on watching some games. But with a VPN, your activity is encrypted and anonymized, allowing you to unblock streaming platforms with ease. Just make sure you don’t cheer too loudly and catch your boss’s attention.

ExpressVPN has a global network of servers in 105 countries and 9 U.S. states, making it easy to find one in the location you need.
