The Golden State Warriors are back for another season, but, as always, figuring out how to catch every Warriors game isn’t easy. If you’re still figuring out how to watch the Warriors during their 2023-24 season, read on. Below, we’ve put together a guide on the best ways to stream Warriors games without cable, as well as a TV schedule for upcoming Warriors games.
How to Watch Warriors Games Online Without Cable
Warriors broadcasts are split between national channels (ABC, ESPN, and TNT) and the local channel NBC Sports Bay Area. That means you’ll need a live TV streaming service, and, if you live outside the Bay Area, you’ll also need to get a VPN or a supplemental subscription NBA League Pass to watch every Warriors Game online.
Here’s a further breakdown of all these options:
Stream Warriors Games on DirecTV Stream
DirecTV Stream carries ABC, ESPN, and TNT, letting you watch all nationally televised Warriors games online. If you’re located in the Bay Area, you’ll get NBC Sports Bay Area on DirecTV Stream too. You’ll want the Choice package to get local channels, which starts with a five-day free trial. After the free trial is a two-month introductory period at $83.99 a month, after which the price goes up to $108.99 a month.
Stream Warriors Games on Sling
A more affordable live TV streaming option is Sling, which carries ABC, TNT, and ESPN — as well as NBC Sports Bay Area for locals — in its Orange + Blue plan. This plan starts at just $55 a month, and Sling is currently running a deal that gets you half off your first month, bringing the starting price down to just $27.50 for your first month.
Stream Warriors Games Out-of-Market with a VPN
Don’t live in the Bay Area? We recommend grabbing a VPN (virtual private network) along with one of the above streaming services to watch Warriors games. Good VPNs, such as ExpressVPN, let you change your virtual location to anywhere in the world and access content not available in your physical location. For Warriors games, that means you can set your location to the Bay Area, head to DirecTV Stream or Sling, and enjoy livestreams of any Warriors games only shown on NBC Sports Bay Area.
Stream Warriors Games Out-of-Market on NBA League Pass
Another way to access Warriors games if you’re located outside of the Bay Area is NBA League Pass, which shows every out-of-market game throughout the whole season. NBA League Pass is also very affordable at $13.99 a month to watch one team, $14.99 a month to watch every team, or $49.99 for the whole season.
Stream Warriors Games for Free
Thanks to the free trial offered by DirecTV Stream, you can watch a few Warriors games for free. Just sign up for the free trial when you want to catch a game and be sure to cancel before the trial is over to avoid any payment. Since the trial lasts for five days, you should be able to catch at least two, if not three Warriors games for free.
