The two best teams from the NBL season won their semi-finals in convincing fashion, and will now fight it out over a five-game series for the ultimate prize. This is The Roar’s guide on how to watch and stream the NBL grand final series between the Perth Wildcats and Melbourne United.
Perth got the better of the Brisbane Bullets in their semi-final series, while Melbourne thumped the Sydney Kings, with both ending on a 2-0 scoreline.
The first game of this series will be played on Friday, March 8 at the Perth Arena, with Perth to host Game 1, 3 and 5, while Melbourne have Game 2 and 4.
The series will be available in its entirety on Fox Sports, while Channel 9 also have increased coverage.
Fox Sports will broadcast all five games. To watch this coverage, you will need to have a valid Foxtel TV subscription, complete with the sports package.
Channel 9 will also broadcast at least the first four games (Game 5 still TBC) through 9Go.
If you are in Brisbane or Adelaide however, coverage of Games 1 and 3 will only be available on delay through the free to air network.
If you are looking to stream the series online, then you will be able to do so through four different methods, with three of those working for the entire series.
The best option is to sign up for Kayo Sports. This allows you to live stream all the sports channels on Foxtel plus some selected other events for $25 per month.
If you would prefer to tune in through Foxtel’s dedicated streaming services, then you wil want to use either the Foxtel App or Foxtel Now.
The App is the better option if you already have a TV subscription, while Now is best if you only want to stream Foxtel channels. Again, you will need the sports package of channels for this to work.
NBL.TV will also carry the broadcast of every game of the finals series, with the subscription setting you have just $5 per month.
For those games shown on Channel 9 in your state, they will also be available on 9Now.
