How to Watch the 2023 NBA In-Season Tournament Online: Schedule, TV Channels, Live Stream

This Friday, the NBA will kick off its inaugural In-Season Tournament during the 2023-24 regular season. All 30 NBA teams will participate in the tournament, competing for not just the NBA Cup, but also $500,000 in prize money awaiting each member of the winning team. 

The NBA teams are divided into six pools of five teams each. These pools consist of teams within the same conference, but not necessarily the same division. Each team plays four group games, facing every team in their pool once, with the winners progressing to the knockout rounds. Results of the In-Season Tournament will count toward teams’ regular-season standings.

Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch the NBA In-Season Tournament, including the full schedule and streaming options.

The inaugural In-Season Tournament will tip off on Friday, November 3 and culminate with the Championship on Saturday, December 9.
