TheTVApp NBA: Basketball Games, Channels and Viewing Guide

The NBA season creates live basketball almost every night during its busiest periods.

TheTVApp’s NBA section gives basketball fans a direct route to scheduled matchups instead of requiring them to search several television networks.

NBA on TheTVApp

The NBA section is event based.

Use it when you are looking for a team or matchup.

The Live TV directory also includes NBA TV for viewers who want the dedicated basketball network.

Regular Season

During the regular season, several NBA games can take place at the same time.

League based navigation becomes particularly useful on these nights because viewers can start with the teams.

NBA Cup

The NBA’s in season competition adds another set of meaningful games during the regular-season calendar.

Check current listings for the relevant matchup.

All Star Weekend

All Star events form a separate part of the basketball calendar.

Programming around the weekend may appear on different networks and at different times.

Play In Tournament

The Play In Tournament takes place before the main playoff bracket and determines the final postseason positions in each conference.

NBA Playoffs

The playoffs progress through multiple rounds before the conference finals and NBA Finals.

As the field narrows, national broadcast coverage becomes increasingly prominent.

NBA TV

NBA TV is included in TheTVApp’s channel directory.

The network carries basketball programming, analysis and scheduled NBA content.

It should not be confused with the NBA event page, which can contain individual games regardless of whether NBA TV is the broadcaster.

Finding Today’s NBA Games

Open the NBA section and browse the scheduled matchups.

If you are looking for NBA TV itself, open Live TV.

Local and National Broadcasts

NBA games can use different broadcasters.

A team’s regular season schedule may involve regional coverage as well as nationally televised games.

The relevant network therefore varies by matchup.

NBA on Android and iPhone

Mobile browsers provide a convenient way to check the basketball schedule.

Use landscape mode and full screen when supported.

NBA on Smart TV

If the television’s browser handles the player well, direct access may work.

Otherwise, casting or screen mirroring from a phone or computer can be more convenient.

Basketball Buffering

If a popular game buffers but other channels do not, the individual source may be experiencing heavier traffic.

If every video buffers, investigate your network first.
