With the NBA basketball game beginning next week, now is an excellent time to remind everyone of Amazon's NBA League Pass. With an Amazon Prime subscription, the NBA League Pass gives you access to basketball games, such as those at the NBA's Madison Square Garden, without the need for cable or local broadcasts.

You also get live access to Home, Away, and Mobile Optimized broadcast feeds for all regular-season games that aren't subject to a regional or national blackout. Home and Away includes commentary from the Home team and Away team's announcers.


On the other hand, Mobile is optimized to be viewable from devices with smaller screens such as your smartphone. The pass even includes on-demand replays for each broadcast and an 8–12-minute condensed replay of each game.


Another benefit of your subscription is watching NBA League Pass on more than 650 connected devices. From Fire TVs and Smart TVs to smartphones and tablets, and even your computer. There are a plethora of different methods to enjoy watching your games through the league pass.

Customers can also watch all regular-season games that aren't subject to national or regional blackout. Blackouts are when a game is televised locally in your area, either through a regional sports network or an over-the air-station. If a match is blacked out on the league pass in your zone, you can tune in to your local station to watch the game.

Games will also be blacked out when they appear on national television, which applies to televised games on ABC, ESPN, TNT, and NBA TV. You can see these games by tuning in to the designated channel.

As for replays of blacked-out games due to regional or over-the-air-broadcasts, they will be available 72 hours after the game ends. However, please note that blacked-out replays due to national broadcasts will not be available through NBA League Pass on Prime Video.

Also, Playoff Games and the NBA Finals are not available on NBA League Pass as they are nationally televised. Subscribers can only watch them on national television or local channels. One more thing to address is that the NBA League Pass offers on-demand games from the previous season during off-seasons, so you can still get your basketball fix in if you choose.

Regarding the prices for the subscription, you can choose either a monthly plan or an annual plan. Monthly will cost you $28.99 per month, while annual will cost $199.99 per year unless you turn off automatic renewal.


If you choose to cancel your subscription, you can still use the pass until the start of the next season. As for monthly, you can use the pass up until the end of your current billing cycle. Remember that this does not include playoffs, the WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association), or NBA Summer League.

That is all the benefits and details included in the NBA League Pass. If you are a massive basketball fanatic, then consider giving this service a try. It might be beneficial for you and your family.
