NBA TV International
NBA TV International is a variant of NBA TV shown outside of the United States with the same studio and taped programming except FIBA events and highlights, but a largely different lineup of games from the US channel. NBA TV International shows one or two games per day, but the NBA playoffs and most US nationally televised games (e.g. Sunday afternoon on ABC, Thursday evening on TNT, Wednesday/Friday on ESPN, Monday/Tuesday/Saturday on US NBA TV) are not shown, and instead are sold to local TV channels in each territory.
As of 2010, NBA TV International can be seen in 40 countries via the following partners:
- Hong Kong Cable Television (Hong Kong)
- now TV(Hong Kong)
- Al Jazeera Sports (Pan-Middle East)
- CanalSatellite (France)
- Basketball TV (Philippines)
- Cignal Digital TV (Philippines)
- NTV (Turkey)
- NTV Plus (Russia)
- Sport+ (Greece)
- Sportitalia (Italy)
- Cablevisión (Argentina)
- ZON Multimédia (Portugal)
- StarHub TV (Singapore)
- First Media (Indonesia)
- Broadcasts in Canada as a Canadian version of the channel, NBA TV Canada. NBA TV Canada carries some of the same lineup of games from US NBA TV, ESPN, and TNT instead of the secondary game package found on NBA TV International.
In February 2012, NBA TV International was made available on NBA.TV as a subscription channel over the internet outside of the United States.
