Verizon +play Adds NBA League Pass, NBA TV to Platform Ahead of NBA Season

Verizon +play Adds NBA League Pass, NBA TV to Platform Ahead of NBA Season

Last month, Verizon’s subscription aggregator platform +play added the NFL's mobile streaming service NFL+, and now it has done the same with the NBA.

NBA League Pass and NBA TV are both now part of +play, which allows subscribers to access and manage their subscriptions in one convenient location. NBA League Pass is the league’s out-of-market game subscription service, while NBA TV is a cable and digital channel that offers 24-hour-a-day NBA content.

+play launched earlier this year and is free for Verizon customers. The mobile carrier describes the hub as a cutting-edge platform that allows consumers to have access to the best content and experiences, while providing customers with as many choices as possible.

The announcement came on the day the 2022-‘23 NBA season is set to begin.

“NBA streaming services are an exciting addition to +play, allowing users to easily manage – and save – on their subscriptions and enjoy the best sports has to offer all in one place,” Verizon’s chief content officer Erin McPherson said. “Verizon has a track record of providing our customers incredible value, as well as great premium content from leading services. As one of the largest direct-to-consumer distributors in the country, we’re solving for millions of customers’ pain points by providing them with an innovative tool to manage and get exclusive deals on multiple subscriptions all in one place.”

Other apps offered through +play include Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+, discovery+, AMC+, HBO Max, Netflix and more.

The NBA, as we've noted before, is somewhat behind the other major sports leagues when it comes to streaming-exclusive national games. That’s mostly a function of the league not having signed a new national TV deal recently, in the time since it’s become customary for such deals to be part of them. The current deal runs through the 2024-25 season.

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.
