How to watch the LA Clippers on Sling TV (Featured partner)
Sling TV has three plans to choose from: Sling Orange with 30+ channels, Sling Blue with 40+ channels and the combo Sling Orange & Blue, which includes all the channels in both packages.
Sling TV includes ABC (in some markets, where plans will also cost more), TNT and ESPN, but for NBA TV, you’ll need Sports Extra for $11 per month. Unfortunately, you won’t get the regional sports network on Sling. Customers also automatically get 50 hours of DVR space (which can be upgraded to 200 hours for $5 per month).
How to watch the LA Clippers on DIRECTV STREAM
DIRECTV STREAM is one of the best options for Clippers fans during the regular season, but it will come at a cost. While each plan comes with ESPN, ABC and TNT, you’ll need to upgrade to at least the Choice package to receive NBA TV and Bally Sports SoCal.
That said, you do receive ample value and other features with the service. Most notably, you’ll have unlimited recording space and unlimited device streams. That makes DIRECTV STREAM a perfect option for larger households wanting to stream the Clippers and many other programs.
How to watch the LA Clippers on Fubo
Fubo has three plans for fans to choose from: Pro with 170+ channels, Elite with 240+ channels and Ultimate with 280+ channels. Of the sports streaming services to choose from for Clippers games, Fubo has the largest channel library — and has nearly everything you need to watch the games, minus TNT. You’ll also need the Sports Plus add-on for $11 per month to get NBA TV.
Plans also include 1,000 hours of cloud DVR and the ability to stream on 10 screens at once — so no worries about missing any games or overlapping time with anyone else in the house.
How to watch the LA Clippers on Hulu + Live TV
Hulu + Live TV offers two plans — one with ads and one without. Both have the same 95+ channel lineup, and both include access to ESPN Plus and Disney Plus, for an extensive content library.
Hulu + Live TV includes ABC, TNT and ESPN, however, fans won’t have access to NBA TV or regional sports networks to watch Clippers and other NBA games. You will have cloud DVR and access to Hulu’s on-demand library, though.
How to watch the LA Clippers on YouTube TV
YouTube TV is a great option for Clippers viewers. You’ll receive ABC, TNT, NBA TV and ESPN in the base package. This package also includes over 100 channels, including many regional sports networks. And you have unlimited recording space, allowing you to watch every Clippers game on your schedule.
The only foul YouTube TV commits is that it doesn't have Bally Sports SoCal. However, as the regular season draws to a close, more games air on national networks due to their significance. And all playoff games air on national networks. Therefore, YouTube TV is a smart option for you to consider during this time of the season.
How to watch LA Clippers out-of-market games with NBA League Pass
Some of the Clippers games will be out of market for some customers, which means you won’t be able to stream them on your live TV streaming services, even if they’re airing. If you have NBA League Pass, however, you’ll get access to those games. NBA League Pass also gives you access to more than just games — you’ll get highlights, stats, commentary and more.
Plans start from $14.99 per month for NBA League Pass’s base package. They also have a premium plan featuring commercial-free content and three device streams for $22.99 per month.
