Can I watch the Celtics on DIRECTV STREAM?
DIRECTV STREAM – Choice
Yes, you can watch the Celtics in-market on DIRECTV STREAM with the upgraded “Choice” package. I chose DIRECTV STREAM as my top pick for watching the Celtics because it is the only live TV streaming service that offers NESN, TNT, and NBC Sports Boston on the same platform.

Can I watch the Celtics on YouTube TV?
YouTube TV
Yes, you can watch the Celtics on YouTube TV, both in-market and out-of-market. If you are an out-of-market Celtics fan, YouTube TV offers an NBA League Pass add-on which I have used and which integrates seamlessly into the platform. YouTube TV also carries WCVB-TV ABC 5 Boston.

Can I watch the Celtics on fuboTV?
fuboTV
You can watch the Celtics games that air on NBC Sports Boston on fuboTV.
Note: We don’t recommend fuboTV this season for watching the Celtics because the platform is missing TNT, which means the NBA on TNT series can’t be live streamed with a fuboTV membership.
If you’re ok missing the TNT broadcasts, fuboTV carries every other channel Boston sports fans need to watch the Celtics, including WCVB-TV ABC 5 Boston and ESPN.

Can I watch the Celtics on Sling TV?
Sling Orange
Sling TV is only a good option for watching the Celtics in the playoffs, not during the regular season. Although Sling TV Orange does not carry NBC Sports Boston, you can still watch most of the Celtics playoff run, and at a fraction of the price of competitors.
During the playoffs, missing ABC isn’t an issue since Sling TV Orange carries ESPN3, which allows fans to access the simulcast of ABC’s NBA playoff coverage on the watch ESPN app.

Watching the Celtics FAQ
Can I watch the Celtics on ESPN+?
No, ESPN+ does not carry NBA games, so you can’t watch the Celtics on ESPN+. The ESPN+ platform is a great option for watching soccer, small college football games, and out-of-market NHL games, but not NBA games.
Can I watch the Celtics on Paramount Plus?
No, you cannot watch the Boston Celtics on Paramount Plus because CBS does not have the TV rights to air NBA games. However, you can watch the Patriots on Paramount Plus. The platform carries WBZ-TV CBS 4 Boston for in-market fans.
Can I watch the Celtics on NESN?
No, you can’t watch the Celtics on NESN. The Bruins and Red Sox play on NESN, the Celtics regular season is broadcast on NBC Sports Boston.
