NBA App Adds Multiview Capabilities on Connected Devices
Fans can view up to four games simultaneously on TV with NBA League Pass subscription
Story Highlights
With the 2024-25 NBA season set to open next week, the league unveiled new features on the NBA App, highlighted by the ability to build a custom multiview of live games on connected devices via NBA League Pass. With a subscription to the league’s live game streaming service, fans will have the ability to watch up to four games simultaneously on supported smart TVs and devices like Roku, Amazon Fire, Apple TV, etc.
NBA League Pass subscribers can now stream up to four games simultaneously while using the NBA App on connected devices.
The NBA has also added additionally functionality to the live streaming experience with the NBA App on connected devices, including the ability to “smart rewind” games from any point by key plays. Users can also now download full games for offline viewing and watch various flavors of game recaps videos like “All Possessions,” “10-Minute Condensed,” “Key Highlights,” and more. If fans view an archived game, the app will display interactive stats and analytics synced with the video, ensuring the watch is spoiler-free.
Other notable additions to the NBA App include:
NBA Insights: an AI-powered tool that leverages the power of Microsoft Azure. The feature uses AI rooted in deep basketball understanding to identify key narratives, player performances, and notable milestones, providing fans with a continuous feed of text-based updates that go beyond the box score to better contextualize what’s happening on the court. The league is also using Generative AI to localize content, offering game recaps in French, Portuguese and Spanish as well as translations for select original programming and live games.
Dunk Score: an AI-calculated grade for in-game dunks in real-time based on a breadth of factors including the player’s jumping distance, style and force at the rim, and defensive efforts from the opposing team.
Alternate Broadcasts: On NBA League Pass, fans will have access to more than 800 live out-of-market games and a variety of alternate telecast options, including in-language streams (Spanish, Portuguese and Korean), the return of the popular “NBA Strategy Stream” providing fans with a unique viewing option breaking down in-game tactics and “NBA HooperVision” featuring NBA legend Quentin Richardson and special guests. Additional alternate stream options will be announced throughout the season.
