So far in the 2023-24 season, the Brooklyn Nets have struggled to pull things together, sitting low in the rankings in the Eastern Conference. With more losses than wins under the guidance of head coach Jacque Vaughn this season, the Nets — and leading scorer Mikal Bridges — are battling it out in the tail end of the season to try to make it to the playoffs. Nets fans and anyone else who wants to see how the rest of the season shakes out may want to know where to stream the games after they’ve cut the cord and no longer have cable.
To find out if Brooklyn makes the playoffs this year, you’ll need to know how to stream Nets games. Keep reading to learn more about each live TV streaming service and which one best suits your needs for the rest of the 2023-24 season.
What channels are Brooklyn Nets games on
In 2023-24, the NBA enters the eighth season in a nine-year deal with Disney and Turner Sports. Under that agreement, ABC, ESPN, and TNT will air the bulk of national TV broadcasts this season, while NBA TV will also show more than 100 games. The Nets’ regional broadcast partner, YES Network, will carry any of the team’s games not slated for national TV.

How to watch the Brooklyn Nets on Sling TV (Featured partner)
For a cost-effective way to catch national broadcasts of Nets games this season, look no further than Sling TV. Although you can’t get regional sports networks (RSNs) like YES Network here, the platform offers a lot of NBA coverage and more sports action that will appeal to cord-cutters on a budget.
With a subscription to Sling Orange and the Sports Extra add-on for $51 a month, you’ll be able to watch all 11 Nets games slated for national TV this season. That plan includes ESPN, TNT, and NBA TV, and you can upgrade to Sling Orange & Blue if you want to throw in more sports on networks like Fox Sports 1 (FS1) and ABC, which is included in New York. All Sling plans include 50 hours of cloud DVR storage, so there’s a little room to record games that you want to watch later. If you live outside the New York market, you can even supplement your Sling subscription with NBA League Pass to get access to all out-of-market Nets matchups.
Keep in mind that local channels aren’t always included in Sling TV plans, so you may not always have access to ABC with this streaming service. You can check your available channels on Sling TV’s website before you subscribe. The price is also a bit lower if you don’t have local channels.

How to watch the Brooklyn Nets on DIRECTV STREAM
For Nets fans in the Brooklyn market, DIRECTV STREAM is the best way to get access to every game. You’ll need to upgrade to the Choice plan, which includes ABC, ESPN, TNT, NBA TV, and YES Network.
Like all DIRECTV STREAM plans, the Choice plan includes unlimited DVR and simultaneous streaming at home, so it’s easy for everyone in the household to watch and record what they want. At $108.99 a month, it’s a little pricey, but many Nets fans will find it worth it to get all their team coverage in one place, along with plenty of extra sports action across some of the top networks. And if you live outside New York, you can add NBA League Pass to your plan for $14.99 a month and still catch every game.

How to watch the Brooklyn Nets on Fubo
In general, Fubo is one of the best options for streaming live sports. With more than 30 sports channels in its basic plan, Fubo offers more coverage than any other platform. Even with the regional sports fee that’s tacked on, you can get that, plus more than 140 other channels, for less than $90 a month. All Fubo plans also include 1,000 hours of live DVR and streaming on up to 10 devices at once at home.
The base plan includes ABC and ESPN, and the live TV streaming service has added YES Network to its lineup, making it a good option for Nets fans. However, Fubo does not include TNT, while basketball fans will need for some nationally aired games.

How to watch the Brooklyn Nets on Hulu + Live TV
Hulu + Live TV is another live TV streaming service that offers a limited number of Nets games. A subscription includes ABC, ESPN, and TNT, but there’s no way to get NBA TV or YES Network on the platform.
However, that doesn’t mean you should write off Hulu + Live TV. For $76.99 a month, you get more than 90 channels and access to the entire Hulu and Disney Plus on-demand libraries. Not only that, but you’ll find tons of extra live sports on ESPN Plus. Your Hulu plan also includes unlimited DVR for you to record your favorite teams and programs. It may not have everything for die-hard Nets fans, but it’s tough to beat Hulu + Live TV as a total package.

How to watch the Brooklyn Nets on YouTube TV
YouTube TV is probably our second choice for Nets fans, behind only DIRECTV STREAM. You can’t get YES Network on this platform, but it features all four major networks that will show national NBA broadcasts in 2023-24.
YouTube TV’s base plan costs $72.99 a month and includes more than 110 of the most popular cable networks, making it a better overall value than many of its competitors’ plans. There’s a wide range of sports, entertainment, and news, including some networks missing on other platforms, like TBS, TNT, CNN, and BBC. Like some other services, YouTube TV also offers a way for out-of-market Nets fans to catch every game by adding NBA League Pass to their plan.
YouTube TV also tailors its viewing experience for sports fans by offering Key Plays View, Stats View, and more so that you can see real-time stats and highlights while you’re watching games. It’s a very cool feature that you won’t get anywhere else.

How to watch Brooklyn Nets games out-of-market with NBA League Pass
Outside of the Brooklyn area, YES Network isn’t available on DIRECTV STREAM, and that means you’ll need to explore other options. The good news is that NBA League Pass offers a way to catch all out-of-market games for any team.
For full access to watch every team, a subscription costs $99.99 a season or $14.99 a month. You can also buy a single-team package to watch only Nets games for $89.99.
