NBA LEAGUE PASS on DIRECTV brings you the most NBA Basketball.

Blackout restrictions apply to all NBA games that are offered on NBA LEAGUE PASS. Such blackout restrictions are designed to protect the television rightsholders in the competing teams' respective home markets. Blackouts are not based on arena sellouts.

Local Broadcasts
If a local over-the-air network has the rights to broadcast an NBA game in its local area, customers in that area will be unable to receive that game via their satellite service. However, they may be able to see the game via their local channels.

Example of How Blackouts Work
The Lakers are playing the Rockets and both teams are broadcasting the game locally — KCAL-9 in the Los Angeles area and FSN SOUTHWEST in the Houston area. NBA LEAGUE PASS subscribers living in the Los Angeles area will be blacked out within the Lakers' over-the-air territory. To see the game, they must be able to receive KCAL. Subscribers living outside of the KCAL coverage area will receive the game via NBA LEAGUE PASS unless they live in the Houston area. Subscribers in the Houston area will be blacked out of the game in NBA LEAGUE PASS, but subscribers can view the game on their over-the-air television station or their local regional sports network (RSN) — included with CHOICE programming and Local Channels.

*To access DIRECTV HD programming, HD equipment required. Number of HD channels based on package selection.

**Some interactive services may require a phone line connection and/or an additional service fee. For full Mix Channel and interactive functionality, a D10 (or later) model interactive DIRECTV Receiver is required.

†400-500k optimized for broadband viewing at 400x300 screen size. Local broadcast restrictions apply to NBA LEAGUE PASS Broadband & NBA LEAGUE PASS Mobile games. Customer will not be able to watch game if service ZIP code matches the blackout area for that game.

Sports subscriptions cannot be canceled, transferred, refunded, or credited (in part or in whole) after the season starts. To receive sports programming, a DIRECTV subscription is required and all DIRECTV Receivers must be continuously connected to the same land-based phone line.

Sports subscriptions automatically continue each season at special renewal rates, provided DIRECTV carries these services, unless subscriber calls to cancel prior to the start of the season.
