Where to watch basketball

Hiya Hoops!

Hope you're having a great day, im from NZ moving to AUS was just trying to figure what tv service I need to buy to watch the basketball world cup games and the NBL.

Any advice would be awesome looking forward to another summer of basketball!

The FIBA World Cup will be on Kayo too as it's on ESPN here.

ESPN (which has all the basketball on Kayo except the little bit of Euroleague on Fox Sports) is also on Fetch for $6 a month but you need a Fetch box, which is $200 upfront for the one without a PVR, I think you rent one through some ISPs though. Which might make more sense than Kayo if you don't care about cricket, netball, the NRL, motor racing or the AFL.

Speaking of the World Cup, ESPN is showing 4 games a day most days over the first group stage.

Bugger I had a feeling ESPN weren't showing all the games.
Is it worth getting courtside1891?

Only so much you can do with 2 channels I guess. I wouldn't be surprised if extra games ended up on the ESPN app (which I think is exclusive for Foxtel iQ/Fetch subscribers, not Kayo) like the NHL is.

All the games seem to be blocked in Australia on Courtside, even the ones not covered on the 2 ESPN channels.

Does anyone know where the warm up games in Melbourne are getting broadcast if at all?

They should be on ESPN. If it's free to air then possibly 10HD or 10Bold. No chance Peach will show them when they don’t even have HD.

+1 for the Fetch TV recommendation. $6/month and the best thing is you aren't forced to pay for the garbage Fox Sports content which is forcibly bundled with ESPN on Foxtel and Kayo.

I believe overflow games will be on the ESPN app which is exclusive to subscribers of a pay TV provider (Foxtel or Fetch, not Kayo).

Brenton Speed and Andrew Gaze calling the warm up games for Nine, with Tony Jones hosting.

First 2 games on 9Gem around the country, the Thursday game gets pushed to 9Go! by the NRL in non-NRL states. Game against France in Japan next Sunday also on channel 9 in Vic/WA, 9Gem in NSW/QLD and 9Go! in SA at 2pm AEST. Not sure what happened to the Georgia game on the 22nd then.

Boomers vs World International Basketball live and free on Nine

Everyman Brenton Speed calling basketball to go full cycle. Is there any sport he hasn't covered?
