NBA League Pass 2026‑27: Prices, Discounts, and Where to Stream

Alright, basketball fans, the 2026‑27 NBA season is right around the corner and the biggest question on everyone’s mind is: how the heck are we going to watch all those out‑of‑market games?

The short answer: NBA League Pass. The long answer is a handful of numbers, a few discounts, and the fact that YouTube TV no longer carries it. Let’s break it down so you can decide what works for you.

What does League Pass cost? If you want the full‑season package with ads, it’s $109.99 for the entire season. Want the commercial‑free experience? That bumps you up to $159.99. Prefer to pay month‑by‑month? You can go for $16.99 a month with ads, or $24.99 a month for the premium, ad‑free version. And if you’re only interested in one team, the Team Pass runs at $13.99 per month.

Those prices are the same whether you buy directly from the NBA website or through a partner provider like DIRECTV, AT&T, Comcast, Dish, etc. The only twist is that the service is now exclusive to Amazon’s Prime Video platform – you won’t find it on YouTube TV any longer.

Free trial? Yes, but only on Amazon. New and eligible subscribers can snag a seven‑day free trial of League Pass (or the Premium tier) directly through Prime Video. It’s a handy way to test the waters before committing.

Student discount – a nice 40% off. If you have a .edu email address, you can lock in a 40% discount on the monthly subscription (or the Premium monthly plan) for a full 12‑month stretch. Just remember: the NBA only lets you verify student status once per year, and if you cancel you can’t re‑verify for another year.

Military and first‑responder discount – 30% off. Eligible members of the U.S. armed forces, law‑enforcement, firefighters, EMTs, teachers, and other government employees can grab a 30% discount on the standard monthly plan for 12 months. You’ll need to provide proof of eligibility when you sign up.

How to actually watch it. Head over to Prime Video, search for “NBA League Pass,” and you’ll see the regular and Premium options alongside the Team Pass. After you pick the tier that fits your budget, just follow the prompts to link your NBA ID with your Amazon account. From there, you can stream on any device that supports Prime Video – TV, laptop, tablet, phone, you name it.

In short, the NBA’s streaming landscape has narrowed a bit: no more YouTube TV, but Amazon has taken the reins, offering a free trial, student savings, and a military discount. If you’re after every game, the full‑season pass is the way to go; if you’re only a die‑hard fan of one team, the Team Pass keeps the price low. Either way, you’ll be ready when the season tips off.
