The 2025 NBA Finals are broadcast on ABC in the U.S., and you can stream the games live on ABC.com or the ABC mobile app by logging in with your cable TV provider. Alternatively, you can watch on live TV streaming platforms that include ABC, such as DirecTV STREAM, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, fuboTV, and YouTube TV. These services often offer free trials for new users, which allows streaming without a cable subscription for a limited period. Specifically:
- ABC broadcasts all NBA Finals games live.
- DirecTV STREAM offers packages including ABC, with a 5-day free trial.
- Hulu + Live TV streams ABC with a 3-day free trial.
- Sling TV Sling Blue package offers ABC streaming with a discounted first month.
- YouTube TV also streams NBA Finals games on ABC with a free trial period.
- Using an over-the-air antenna can allow free access to local ABC broadcasts for NBA Finals games.
NBA League Pass offers access to NBA games but does not include nationally broadcast games live on ABC, so it is less suitable for the NBA Finals. The 2025 NBA Finals schedule starts on June 5 and can extend to June 22, depending on the length of the series. In Germany, the NBA Finals are available on ProSieben MAXX, Joyn, and the ran.de website and app, including free live streams for certain games. In summary, to stream the NBA Finals live in the U.S., the easiest method is to watch on ABC through the ABC website or app with a cable login or through streaming services like Hulu + Live TV, DirecTV STREAM, Sling TV, or YouTube TV with free trials if you don't have cable.
