Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors head to TD Garden tonight to take on the Boston Celtics. We've compiled everything you need to know about where to watch Warriors vs. Celtics live streams.
The Warriors (6-1) and Celtics (7-1) are off to great starts this season, with both teams boasting impressive records. This is in line with last season's Celtics, where they led the league and ultimately won the championship. But this marks a notable shift for the Warriors, who struggled last season and ranked tenth in the Western Conference, failing to clinch a spot in the Playoffs. Notable past match-ups between the two teams include the 2022 NBA Finals, wherein the Warriors beat the Celtics in Game 6 and snagged their seventh franchise title. The Celtics have a record-breaking 18 titles.
Whether you're rooting for the Warriors or Celtics, we'll make sure you can tune into tonight's nationally broadcast game. Keep reading to learn the channel, tip-off time, and pregame coverage information.
The Golden State Warriors vs. Boston Celtics game will air on ESPN in the United States. The game will tip off on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. ET, but the network's NBA Countdown coverage starts at 7 p.m. Cord-cutters don't need to worry about missing out on any of the action, thanks to the help of live TV streaming services like Sling TV, DirecTV Stream, and Fubo.
Sling TV is the cheapest way to live stream the game tonight. Subscriptions start at $40/month, but first-time customers can get their first month of service for just $20. Customers will need to opt for the Sling Orange plan, which carries ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN3, along with 32 other live channels.
Fans seeking a more elaborate cable alternative might want to try out DirecTV Stream or Fubo, which are top-rated month-to-month services with more than twice the number of Sling's channels. DirecTV Stream subscriptions start at $87/month and include a five-day free trial, while Fubo subscriptions start at $80/month and offer a seven-day free trial. If you hang onto your subscription after the free trial, Fubo will also knock $20 off your first month of service.
If you're traveling away from home right now, you can still access your usual viewing options with the help of a VPN. VPNs, or virtual private networks, are handy tech tools that let you change your electronic device's virtual location and upgrade your cybersecurity. This option will work best for Americans who are simply traveling abroad, since the subscriptions we've highlighted for tonight's game require US forms of payment.
Our no. 1 recommendation is ExpressVPN, which includes a hassle-free 30-day money-back guarantee. You can read more about the app in our ExpressVPN review, and see below to learn how to use a VPN.
Note: Using VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
