The Blackout Problem
The #1 complaint about League Pass: local game blackouts. If you live in your team's market, you can't watch them live on League Pass. The games are only on your local RSN (regional sports network). This means many fans are paying for League Pass but can't watch the team they care about most. Blackout restrictions have loosened slightly with the NBA's new media deals, but they're still a major issue.
League Pass Pricing Tiers
- League Pass (all teams): ~$15/mo or $100/season
- League Pass Premium (no ads on replays): ~$23/mo or $230/season
- Single Team Pass: ~$90/season (still has local blackouts)
- NBA TV: Sometimes bundled, sometimes separate ($7/mo)
Cheaper Ways to Watch NBA Games
- YouTube TV ($73/mo): Includes ESPN, TNT, ABC, and most RSNs — covers most NBA games including local
- Sling TV ($40-55/mo): ESPN and TNT included. No RSNs (no local games)
- ESPN+ ($11/mo): Some NBA games, especially playoffs. Included with Disney Bundle
- Free OTA antenna: ABC national games are free over-the-air
- Local sports bar: Seriously — watching with fans is better than watching alone, and a couple beers costs less than a month of League Pass
The Off-Season Auto-Renewal Trap
League Pass auto-renews at the start of the next NBA season (usually October). Many people forget about it over the summer and get hit with a $100-230 charge in October. If you're canceling, set a reminder for September to make sure auto-renewal is off — even if you cancel now, check again before next season.
💡 The Mid-Season Value Play
If you sign up for the season pass in January or February instead of October, you get the same all-season price for fewer remaining games — bad deal. The monthly plan ($15/mo) is better for catching specific matchups or playoff runs. Only buy the season pass at the very start of the season when you get maximum games per dollar.
