The NBA season is just days away! The 2023-24 NBA regular season begins on Tuesday, Oct. 24, and the league is introducing some new improvements to the NBA App that will help fans get the latest news on their favorite teams and players.

• New updates to the NBA App include the ability to add multiple team and player tabs to the main screen.
• NBA League Pass users will be able to switch between broadcast feeds and languages more quickly.
• Cross-platform watch party feature coming later in the season.

More Customization, More Content

New to the NBA App this year, fans can add multiple team and player tabs to their home screen, which gives them instant access to stats, highlights, and trending news topics about that team or player. Personalized push notifications will alert users when their favorites make a big play or win a crucial game. There’s also a new “Moments” section on the app, which allows fans to scroll vertically social-media style through the top content from across the NBA.

There will be new written and video content on the NBA App this season as well. A daily newsletter titled “Starting 5” will keep track of the top storylines around the league, and will feature contributions from current and former NBA players and coaches, including the Boston Celtics’ Jayson Tatum, the Denver Nuggets’ Jamal Murray and more.

On the video side of the content spectrum, the NBA App is bringing another season of “Pass the Rock” to viewers. The show features some of the brightest young stars in the league, such as Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero, New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson and Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton. Also new this season is a series called “Bring it Home,” a behind-the-scenes look at the Denver Nuggets’ championship-winning 2022-23 season, narrated by Jamal Murray.

Check out a preview of the new NBA App experience in 2023-24.

Through the program, NBA fans will receive tips and programs from experts in strength and conditioning, basketball skills, recovery, nutrition, and mental wellness. As previously announced, Peloton is the league’s first launch partner for NBA Fitness. Throughout the season, “NBA Fitness” will leverage the league’s vast network of trainers and partners, including Peloton Instructors, establishing the hub as a premier destination for health and fitness.

• NBA Style: Showcasing unique fashion trends leaguewide, “NBA Style” will document the stories and inspiration behind NBA player wardrobes – from their favorite sneakers to outfits they wear on special occasions. “NBA Style” will consist of short-form episodes as players provide their perspectives on their personal style and fashion preferences. The series tipped off with an episode spotlighting the Miami Heat’s Kevin Love getting ready for a fashion show alongside his wife, Kate, and personal stylist. Additional episodes of “NBA Style” will feature the Sacramento Kings’ Malik Monk and the Indiana Pacers’ Myles Turner, among others.

What Improvements Are Coming to NBA League Pass?

The NBA League Pass experience on the NBA app is also due for an upgrade this year. League Pass customers will get an enhanced live game streaming experience making it easier for fans to switch between multiple broadcast and language options while interacting with dynamic overlays featuring live player stats, scores, betting odds, and other content.

At some point during the 2023-24 season, NBA League Pass subscribers will be able to enjoy cross-platform watch parties, so that subscribers on different devices can synch up their game with friends in a different location and watch together.
