Peacock NBA Monday continues with the Nets seeking their first victory of the season against the visiting Timberwolves, who are playing without injured Anthony Edwards.

Here's how to watch 2025-26 NBA games online without cable, including ways to livestream basketball for free this season.

With the 2025-26 NBA season in full swing, the league is already seeing a lot of buzz and excitement for what’s to come throughout the schedule. The first big event is the NBA Cup, a six-week in-season knockout tournament where each team has a chance to win it all.

While NBA Cup games broadcast on TV across NBC and ESPN, the in-season tournament can also be streamed on web-based streaming cable services — like DirecTV, Fubo and Hulu + Live TV — some of which even offer free trials. Games are also streamable on Prime Video and Peacock.

For the first time since 2002, NBA basketball will air on NBC. If you were a ’90s kid, John Tesh’s iconic “Roundball Rock ” was the soundtrack of your basketball-watching experience, the perfect melodic intro that remains synonymous with hoops.
