Can you watch the 2023 Play-in tournament on the NBA League Pass? TV schedule
With the NBA’s Play-In tournament now upon us, it’s time to take a look at the full schedule and of course where you can watch all of the action that’s about to go down.
The NBA playoffs bracket is almost set. All that’s left is the Play-In Tournament which will determine the last seeds from either conference to enter the post season. Needless to say, there’s a lot of drama that’s about to unfold which is precisely why you should know when and where it’s all happening.
Can you watch the Play-In Tournament on NBA League Pass?
Though the NBA’s League Pass allows you to watch hundreds of games across the entire season, it does not provide coverage of the Play-In Tournament, nor does it provide coverage of the NBA Playoffs itself. That honor falls to ESPN and TNT. Between the two networks you’ll be able to catch all of the postseason action as it unfolds over the next few weeks. Be sure to check the schedule below for a full beak down of the upcoming Play-In tournament.
