To watch the Lakers game, you have several common options depending on your location and which game you’re trying to catch. Here are reliable paths to check:
- Live TV networks and regional sports: In the U.S., Lakers games are typically carried by local network affiliates and Spectrum SportsNet (often branded as SportsNet LA) for home games, with some games on national channels such as ESPN, ABC, or NBA TV depending on the schedule. If you have a traditional cable or satellite package, check your local listings or your provider’s channel guide for the exact broadcast.
- Streaming services with local/league coverage:
- NBA League Pass can stream every Lakers game, though in-market blackouts may apply for out-of-market viewers who also have a local RSN. This is useful if you’re outside your home market or want on-demand replays.
- Spectrum SportsNet+ or the Spectrum SportsNet app can provide live Lakers coverage if you’re a subscriber with access to SportsNet LA through your provider.
- Other streaming bundles sometimes include regional sports networks that carry Lakers games (varies by region).
- In-market options:
- Local fans often watch via the in-market channels (Spectrum SportsNet family) or through a participating streaming service that carries those RSNs in your area.
- International viewers:
- NBA League Pass is commonly available worldwide, with regional restrictions. Some regions also offer local broadcasters via their own streaming platforms.
- Non-traditional/alternative options:
- Occasionally, certain games stream on league-related platforms or network-specific apps (for example, a regional sports app or a network’s app) and may require authentication with a TV provider.
- Sports betting or fantasy platforms sometimes offer built-in viewing options with certain accounts, but availability varies.
Tips to confirm watch options for today’s specific game:
- Check the exact game time and broadcasting plan on the NBA’s official schedule for today, which lists the TV and streaming details per game.
- Visit your local RSN site (e.g., Spectrum SportsNet) or your streaming service’s live sports section to see real-time availability and blackout rules.
- If traveling or outside your home market, consider NBA League Pass for in-market blackout information and access.
