Can I watch NBA All-Star 2024 live on NBA League Pass?

The answer to this question is that it depends on where you’re watching from.

US and Canada-based subscribers to League Pass, the NBA’s online platform which allows viewers to stream games live and on-demand, won’t be able to use the service to watch All-Star 2024 as it happens.

However, international subscribers will be able to tune in live using League Pass.

Blackout restrictions in the US and Canada

Viewers in the US and Canada cannot use League Pass to watch All-Star 2024 live because of blackout restrictions, which occur when local or national networks in the countries have “certain exclusive rights to televise live games and content”, the NBA says.

Subscribers can use their League Pass to listen live to the audio of blacked-out matches, which the NBA says “will be available for viewing after the game has concluded”.

In the US, All-Star 2024 will be broadcast live on TNT. In Canada, the event will be on TSN.
