The best things to watch with DIRECTV’s MySports Genre Pack in June
The NBA Finals
The 2026 NBA Finals series is one of the most intriguing in recent memory. It will pit the San Antonio Spurs against the New York Knicks, with all games airing on ABC starting on Wednesday, June 3 at 8:30 p.m. ET. MySports subscribers can choose to watch on ABC or with their included ESPN Unlimited subscription.
The Spurs are one of the most fascinating teams in the NBA. Led by superstar center/power forward Victor Wembanyama, the team has turned things around in a major way in the past few years to fight its way back to the top of the Western Conference. The long-suffering Knicks, meanwhile, have toiled in obscurity for years, and every New York sports fan is ready to see the team’s overdue return to glory.
