How To Watch NBA Games On Max: NBA On TNT/Max Streaming Guide 2024-25

The 24-25 NBA season begins with a must-see doubleheader as the Boston Celtics host the new-look New York Knicks, and the Minnesota Timberwolves travel to Los Angeles to battle LeBron James and the Lakers on TNT and Max!

Tonight’s doubleheader features four of the most interesting teams of the season. After a dominating 23-24 season, the Celtics are looking to become the first team to repeat since the 2018 Golden State Warriors, while the star-studded Knicks added Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges in hopes of breaking through in the Eastern Conference.

Out West, LeBron and Bronny James will likely become the first father/son duo to play together in an NBA regular season game. Meanwhile, the Timberwolves and assurgent superstar Anthony Edwards are coming off a trip to the Western Conference Finals.

Is NBA Basketball Free On Max?

You bet! The B/R Sports add-on tier is available for free across all Max (previously HBO Max) entertainment packages — Max With Ads, Max Ad-Free, and Max Ultimate Ad-Free.

The B/R Sports add-on was originally going to be an additional $9.99/month, but the free promotional period has been extended. HBO still refers to it as a “limited time promotion,” but as of now, it’s free for all Max subscribers.

How To Watch NBA Games On Max live:

Max offers three plans: With Ads ($9.99/month or $99.99/year), Ad-Free ($16.99/month or $169.99/year), and Ultimate Ad-Free ($20.99/month or $209.99/year).

The streaming service is also available as part of the Disney Bundle for $16.99/month (includes Max With Ads, Hulu With Ads, and Disney+ Basic) or $29.99/month (Max Ad-Free, Disney+ Premium, and Hulu No Ads).

Max carries all NBA on TNT games. Those games appear on the new Bleacher Report Sports tier. This add-on is free for now, though it could cost more in the future. Max would be a great choice for streamers who like Fubo as their main TV provider, since Fubo doesn’t carry TNT.
