NBA TV also joins more than 40 other premium and unique channels only available on StarHub. With the addition of the NBA to existing sporting events like the BWF World Tour, ITTF World Tour, UEFA Champions League and Rugby World Cup 2019, only on StarHub can customers enjoy an all-encompassing coverage of world-class sports in one pass.
As an official broadcast partner of the NBA in Singapore, StarHub will deliver an exhilarating line-up of live basketball games and programmes to its subscribers through NBA TV, the NBA’s 24/7 dedicated channel. With the 2019-20 NBA regular season starting on 23 October, supporters of the sport can enjoy preseason NBA games live and one regular season game per day.

Live coverage of the NBA Playoffs starting from the Conference Semi-Finals to the NBA Finals will be broadcast on Hub Sports 2.
“A quick glance around the market, we see sports often offered as a premium content on top of a basic subscription, increasing costs and reducing accessibility to customers,” said Mr Yann Courqueux, Vice President, Home Product, StarHub. “At StarHub, we want to break boundaries and lead the change within the industry, by delivering these top sporting tournaments to our customers, at no additional cost, with no need for add-ons. We want to provide our customers with the number one entertainment experience at best value.
