How to watch the NBA All-Star Game 2024

Sling TV is one of the cheapest options for watching the 2024 NBA All-Star Game. Sling Blue and Sling Orange start at $40 per month, and both plans feature TNT in their channel mix. You may even be able to get half off your first month to sign up and watch the All-Star Game.

That’s only a fraction of the live sports you’ll find on Sling, too. Sling Orange comes with ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3 and MotorTrend, while Sling Blue features Fox Sports 1 (FS1), NFL Network and TruTV. Both plans include more sports on channels like TBS and USA, and you can even combine them with Sling Orange & Blue for $55 a month. Beyond that, you can add the Sports Extra add-on, which comes with NBA TV and more than 10 other sports channels, depending on your base plan, for $11 to $15 per month. All Sling plans include 50 hours of cloud DVR storage so you can record your favorite teams and shows to watch later.

Watch on DIRECTV STREAM

DIRECTV STREAM offers a more typical cable-like plan for watching the NBA All-Star Game. The basic Entertainment plan starts at $79.99 and carries more than 75 channels, including TNT and ESPN for many of the weekend’s festivities. You can even try it free for five days. 

To get the full NBA experience and catch all the action for All-Star Weekend, you may want to consider upgrading to the Choice plan. For $108.99 a month, you’ll get more than 105 channels, including NBA TV, your regional sports networks (RSNs), and more than 15 other sports channels, including MLB Network, NFL Network, ESPNU, Big 10 Network, SEC Network and more. This is one of the most complete sports-streaming packages on the market. Plus, DIRECTV STREAM offers full-league access with an add-on for NBA League Pass, which costs $14.99 a month.

Watch on Hulu + Live TV

If your main concern is watching the NBA All-Star Game and plenty of other sports and entertainment, check out Hulu + Live TV. You won’t find NBA TV here, so you’ll miss out on some of the All-Star Weekend festivities, but all plans include TNT and ESPN, alongside plenty of other sports action on channels like ESPN2, FS1, Big Ten Network, SEC Network, TBS and more

That’s only scratching the surface with Hulu + Live TV, though. All plans come with over 90 channels, unlimited DVR space and full access to ESPN Plus, Hulu and Disney Plus. That’s a gold mine of extra live sports and on-demand content. And you get all that for $76.99 a month, a competitive price among the other live TV streaming services. Unfortunately, Hulu + Live TV features very few RSNs and doesn’t offer a free trial.

Watch on YouTube TV

YouTube TV offers one of the more affordable ways to keep up with NBA action throughout the season, including the All-Star Game. The base plan starts at $72.99 and includes TNT, ESPN, NBA TV and ABC, which covers all All-Star Weekend events and all nationally televised games. You can try it free for up to 14 days.

Beyond that, YouTube TV offers one of the strongest channel lineups in all of streaming. With more than 110 of the most popular news, sports and entertainment channels, you’ll be set for plenty of binge-worthy watching. Although it doesn’t carry RSNs, YouTube TV features quite a few live sports networks, such as ESPN2, ESPNU, FS1, TBS, Big Ten Network, SEC Network and more. You’ll also get unlimited DVR and plenty of add-on choices, including NBA League Pass if you want to keep up with out-of-market games.

Watch on Max

Max is a surprising new contender in the sports streaming wars. Whether you want to keep your streaming budget down or you’d rather get a small selection of live sports along with some of the best on-demand entertainment around, Max is worth a look. 

With the new B/R Sports add-on, you’ll get a selection of events from TBS, TNT and TruTV. That includes not only the NBA All-Star game, but plenty of tip-offs throughout the season, along with games from the NHL, MLB, NCAA March Madness, and U.S. Soccer. To top it off, B/R Sports is free with your regular Max plan through February 2024, so that means you can watch the All-Star Game for just the cost of Max — $9.99 to $19.99 a month, depending on your plan. Starting in March, you’ll pay an extra $9.99 a month for this plan.
