The National Basketball Association was founded on June 6, 1946 at the Commodore Hotel in New York City. The National Basketball Association, or NBA, is a professional basketball league comprised of 30 teams across North America featuring the best basketball players in the world.

The NBA offers a League Pass that allows fans to watch live games. There is a difference between NBA League Pass TV and NBA League Pass Digital. NBA League Pass Digital allows you to watch live regular season games across all available digital platforms while NBA League Pass TV allows you to watch live regular season games from all of the available NBA League Pass digital platforms, in addition to your TV.
