NBL games and content set for NBA App, NBA TV

Thursday, October 16, 2025

Fans across North America can now watch live NBL games on the NBA App and NBA TV, expanding the league’s global reach and showcasing its world-class talent to new audiences.

The National Basketball League (NBL) has today announced that games and content will be made available on the NBA App and NBA TV starting October 17. Fans in the U.S. and Canada will be able to watch NBL games throughout the season, while fans around the world will have access to highlights and other content.

This marks another major step in the NBL’s international growth and follows the success of the NBAxNBL Melbourne Series, which saw more than 60,000 fans pack Melbourne Park to witness the New Orleans Pelicans take on Melbourne United and the South East Melbourne Phoenix.

The expansion of NBL games to the NBA App and NBA TV will give fans across North America unprecedented access to one of the world’s best basketball leagues outside the NBA, showcasing the NBL’s progressive style of play and elite talent, including future NBA players.

“This is yet another exciting milestone in our ambition to continue to show the NBL to the rest of world and make it more accessible than ever before,” NBL Group Chief Media & Content Officer Heath O’Loughlin said.

“Through our partnership with the NBA, and off the back of the recent momentum and success of the NBAxNBL Melbourne Series, we’re thrilled to see NBL games available live across North America. It’s a chance for fans in the U.S. and Canada to experience everything that defines the NBL, and track the next wave of talent making their mark on the global stage through our highly-regarded Next Stars program.”

Fans in the U.S. and Canada can download the NBA App to access live NBL games, replays, highlights, shoulder content and scheduling information.

Selected games will be available via NBA TV, with all other games live on the NBA App, starting from Friday, October 17.
