How to watch NBA live in India? NBA live streaming guide and full schedule

The NBA will officially resume its 2019-20 season on July 30 (July 31 IST). The 22 teams invited to the NBA bubble will play eight seeding games each to complete the regular season before moving on to the traditional NBA postseason series. If required, there will be a play-in tournament to determine the final playoff spot. The NBA Finals will begin in September and will be extended till October 12 if a Game 7 is required. The season was suspended on March 11 after Utah Jazz's Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19. Currently, the Milwaukee Bucks are leading the NBA table with a 53-12 win-loss record. 

While all games will be available on live streaming platforms, only certain games will be broadcast on television. TV schedule for India is different than the national schedule in the USA. The first NBA restart game is scheduled between Utah Jazz and the New Orleans Pelicans. 

Last year FanCode became NBA’s first live streaming partner in India. After a 4-month long NBA hiatus, all the action will be live-streamed on FanCode starting July 30, 2020.

FanCode will deliver interactive coverage of the NBA for Indian Basketball Fans through live and on-demand access to select games throughout the season including regular-season games, the Playoffs and The Finals, along with live scores, features, news coverage, fantasy research, and more.
