The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup is getting plenty of attention these days, and rightly so. But there’s another World Cup set to begin this month that sports fans may not be as aware of which starts up very soon: the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup.

The FIBA World Cup brings basketball players from all over the globe together to play for their team’s national squad in a competition that’s gaining notoriety fast. The tournament starts Friday, Aug. 25, and cord-cutting fans will soon have a completely new way to watch the World Cup, using the same app they use to can stream NBA League Pass.

The NBA has announced it is partnering with the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) to bring FIBA’s digital platform “Courtside 1891” to the NBA app. Courtside 1891 will allow users in more than 20 countries to buy FIBA World Cup Pass, which will allow them to stream games from the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup live, as well as watch extended highlights, on-demand replays and get instant analysis.

Players like Luka Doncic, Anthony Edwards, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Rudy Gobert and many more will play in the World Cup this year, so fans won’t want to miss it. The FIBA World Cup Pass costs $14.99 per month, or users can upgrade to the Premium version for $19.99 to cut out some ads and get access to more games on-demand.

NBA League Pass managed to double its subscriber total during the 2022-23 season, and the stepped-up availability of FIBA World Cup Pass will only help users to increasingly think of the NBA as a sport they can watch on TV or via digital streaming. That’s an important goal, as the league looks to sell a streaming-exclusive package of games in its next broadcasting deal, and may have to turn to streaming for its local broadcast rights this season as well.

NBA League Pass

For passionate basketball aficionados, NBA League Pass stands as the premier destination for immersing yourself in the thrilling world of professional basketball. It offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing you to meticulously follow every move of your favorite team throughout the season or broaden your horizons to catch every game played across the entire league. It’s important to note that, due to broadcasting rights, blackout restrictions may apply to games that are televised locally or aired on national channels.

…

The beauty of NBA League Pass lies in its customizable nature; prices and the suite of available features can vary significantly, ensuring you can select a subscription tier that perfectly aligns with your viewing habits and budget. Whether you’re a casual observer or a hardcore stat-head, there’s likely a package designed for you.

Beyond simply streaming games, a subscription unlocks a richer, more interactive viewing experience. You’ll typically gain access to both the Home and Away team broadcasts, giving you the freedom to choose which commentary team you prefer. For those watching on the move, the Mobile View feature ensures an optimized, high-quality stream on your smartphone or tablet. Furthermore, NBA League Pass often caters to a global audience, with broadcasts available in additional languages, and provides diverse perspectives through multiple camera angles, letting you see the game in new ways.

One of the most compelling enhancements is the integration of in-stream advanced statistics. This means while you’re absorbed in the action, you can instantly pull up detailed box scores, track live player performance metrics, and analyze team statistics without ever needing to navigate away from the live game stream. This seamless access to data keeps you fully informed and engaged with every facet of the on-court drama.

The NBA offers three plans “Team Pass” ($13.99), which provide great options if you only want to follow a single team.

“League Pass” ($16.99) lets you see every game across the entire league.

The “League Pass Premium” ($24.99) plan allows watching on 3 devices without commercials.

You can also save by subscribing to the full season. It’s $89.99 / year for the Team Pass, $109.99 / year for the League Pass, or $159.99 / year for League Pass Premium.

NBA League Pass is also available as an Amazon Prime Video channel.
