Spectrum Brings Selected L.A. Lakers Games to Apple Vision Pro With New Immersive Presentation

Gamep productions will utilize Blackmagic Design’s URSA Cine Immersive Live camera.

Spectrum is partnering with Apple to facilitate and distribute select live Lakers games in the 2025-26 season for Apple Vision Pro. With the Apple Immersive format, Lakers fans will “feel like they are sitting courtside” as they watch games on their Vision Pro headset. The schedule of games will be revealed later this fall, with the first game streaming by early next year, available through the forthcoming Spectrum SportsNet app for Vision Pro.

These live games will be captured using the new URSA Cine Immersive Live camera from Blackmagic Design, a version of the camera that launched earlier this year to capture Apple Immersive for Vision Pro, and will be available for purchase next year.

Live games, available via streams of up to 150 Mbps, will be accessible to authenticated Spectrum SportsNet subscribers, as well as Spectrum Internet customers, via the Spectrum SportsNet app in the Lakers’ territory.

The announcement comes as part Spectrum unveiling the Spectrum App Store, an new digital marketplace where Spectrum TV customers can activate, manage and upgrade the streaming apps included with their Spectrum TV plans. Spectrum customers without a traditional TV package can also manage and purchase streaming apps à la carte. Easily accessible on the My Spectrum App and on Spectrum.net, The Spectrum App Store represents a major evolution in the Company’s Seamless Entertainment experience, which delivers the most popular streaming services in addition to live TV at no additional cost to subscribers.
