Regular Season Local Blackout:
NBA League Pass has local blackout restrictions for regular season games. All live games will be blacked out in each team's home territory, except for certain NBA regular season and postseason games as described below.
Additionally, please note:
- Home territory blackout restrictions apply regardless of whether a team is playing at home or away and regardless of whether or not a game is televised in the team's home territory.
- Teams may be subject to blackout outside of the United States based on their home territory as determined by the NBA.
- Specific games involving the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings may be blacked out in certain regions, including the U.S. territory of Guam.
Regular Season U.S. National Blackout:
Due to NBA exclusivities, live national broadcasts and/or streaming of NBA events and select live national broadcasts and/or streaming of NBA games will be blacked out in the United States (including Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands).

During the NBA postseason, all live games, except for those games for which Authenticated Access is available, will be blacked out in the United States (including Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands) and Canada due to NBA exclusivities.
