How To Watch Boston Celtics |
Cable? Cut the Cord? We Got You Covered
There are two main paths to Celtics nirvana: cable and streaming. Cable cowboys, rejoice! You might be able to catch them on the classic channels - ABC, ESPN, TNT, or NBA TV. But here's the real clutch play: NBC Sports Boston. This is your one-stop shop for all things Celtics, from pre-game hype to post-game analysis (and maybe even some lucky Larry Bird sightings... unconfirmed).
QuickTip: Slow down when you hit numbers or data.
Stream team, don't fret! YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, and FuboTV are all viable options, offering NBC Sports Boston and other channels that might carry Celtics games. Just be sure to check their channel listings before you sign up. Remember, channel availability can be more fickle than a jump ball.
Out of Market? No Problem (Well, Sort Of)
Living outside of Celtics territory? Don't worry, you can still rep the green from afar. NBA League Pass is your best bet, offering out-of-market games (with some blackout restrictions, because life isn't fair). Think of it as your own personal Leprechaun translator, bringing you the excitement of every Celtics game, no matter where you roam.
Tip: Don’t overthink — just keep reading.
Going Old School: Radio Broadcasts
For the purists out there, there's nothing quite like the thrill of a radio broadcast. The Boston Celtics Radio Network delivers all the play-by-play action, complete with enthusiastic announcers who might just make you believe you're sitting courtside.
Tip: Skim only after you’ve read fully once.
Bonus Tip: Don't Forget the Highlights
Let's be honest, sometimes you just need a quick dose of Celtics magic. YouTube is your friend here, with a treasure trove of highlights, interviews, and fan-made content. Just be careful not to fall down a rabbit hole of pre-season predictions from 2010 (we've all been there).
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.
