NBA fans eager to watch a team outside of their home television market are in luck starting in October.
The league plans to offer pay-per-view games at a rate of $6.99 apiece or $120 for the entire season of that team (82 regular-season games).
The plan was part of a the digital expansion first discussed last year by commissioner Adam Silver who is striving to reach more fans through platforms outside of cable and network television.
NBA games are available for satellite and cable subscribers under the NBA Full Court package. However, blackouts are in place for local and regional broadcasts available on network TV or cable platforms in that area.
It will be possible for fans in Chicago to catch all 82 Cavaliers games, for example, but that same fan would not be able to view Bulls games — those in the home TV market — digitally under the same agreement.
