How to Watch 2024 NBA All-Star Game Online Without Cable
If you are a cord-cutter hoping to catch all the basketball action, you’ll need to subscribe to a live-TV streaming service that includes TNT. Some live-TV streaming services offer free trials, so you can even watch the NBA All-Star Game for free if you sign up for a new account. And, if you’re a Max subscriber, you can watch All-Star Weekend with the B/R sports add-on, which is included in all Max plans for a limited time.
Additionally, there are some daytime events — including practices and news conferences — that will be televised exclusively on NBA TV. If you’re a basketball superfan, you might want to check if NBA TV is included in the services below, however, if you’re just hoping to catch the biggest events you can skip this step.
