How to watch the Trail Blazers on Sling TV (Featured partner)
Sling TV combines affordability with the power of choice, offering three packages: Sling Orange or Sling Blue for $40 per month or Sling Orange & Blue for $55 per month. Sling Orange offers ESPN — a must for NBA fans, and all plans have TNT. You can also upgrade your plan to add NBA TV and more sports coverage with the Sports Extra add-on for $11–$15 a month. All plans include 50 hours of cloud DVR storage.
That said, Sling TV doesn’t stream ROOT SPORTS Northwest, so you’ll want to find an alternative for that channel. If you’re a Trailer Blazers fan living outside Portland, you can subscribe to NBA League Pass to watch all out-of-market games.
How to watch the Portland Trail Blazers on DIRECTV STREAM
Trail Blazers fans will love DIRECTV STREAM. If you select the Choice package, which costs $108.99 per month, it comes with ROOT SPORTS Northwest, ESPN, ABC, NBA TV and TNT. You’ll be able to catch all of the action during the regular season, plus all playoff games.
DIRECTV STREAM comes with unlimited recording space, and you can stream from unlimited devices while at home. Along with regional sports programming, you can score good discounts on premium channels, making it one of the best entertainment platforms for Portland fans.
How to stream the Trail Blazers on Fubo
Fubo is another excellent choice for Trail Blazers fans. Its basic Pro plan includes ROOT SPORTS Northwest, ESPN and ABC. You can also upgrade to the Elite plan or choose one of a few add-ons to get NBA TV. Plans start at $79.99 a month, and there’s a regional sports fee of up to $14.99 a month.
Fubo comes with 1,000 hours of cloud DVR storage and you can stream from up to 10 devices while at home. The platform includes more sports coverage than any other live TV streaming service. Fubo’s only downside for NBA fans trying to catch all the games, is that it doesn’t include TNT.
How to watch the Portland Trail Blazers on Hulu + Live TV
Hulu + Live TV is unique in that it offers streaming and on-demand content. For the combo package starting from $76.99 per month, you’ll have access to ESPN, TNT and ABC with unlimited recording space. And you gain access to Hulu’s on-demand library of hit shows and movies, along with Disney Plus and ESPN Plus.
Hulu makes it easy to remember to record games, too. Simply choose the Trail Blazers as your favorite team when you sign up for service, and the platform does the rest. Unfortunately, Hulu + Live TV doesn’t include ROOT SPORTS Northwest, so you’ll need another platform to watch most Blazers games this season.
How to stream the Trail Blazers on YouTube TV
YouTube TV’s plans start from $72.99 per month, and you’ll get ESPN, ABC, TNT and NBA TV. You’ll have unlimited recording space to capture all of Portland’s action, even the games you can’t watch live.
Unfortunately, YouTube TV doesn’t carry ROOT SPORTS. If you’re a Portland fan living outside Oregon, you’ll be able to add the NBA League Pass to your subscription for $14.99 a month. If you’re a local, it’s best to choose a service offering ROOT SPORTS Northwest.
How to watch Portland Trail Blazers out-of-market games with NBA League Pass
NBA League Pass is the best option for Trail Blazers fans living outside of Oregon. You’ll be able to stream all games (not broadcast on national networks) and catch on-demand replays of games you missed. The base package starts from $14.99 per month or $99.99 per season. You can also opt for a single-team plan for $89.99 a season.
For $22.99 a month or $149.99 a season, you can also upgrade to NBA League Pass Premium, which offers you three streams at the same time and in-arena content instead of ads during commercial breaks. Whichever plan you choose, all blacked-out games will be available on the platform three days after their initial broadcast.
