Where to watch Cleveland Cavaliers vs Sacramento Kings

Main streaming options

  • NBA League Pass – The most consistent answer for where to watch Cleveland Cavaliers vs Sacramento Kings is NBA League Pass, which lists this matchup as available to livestream globally in many regions.
  • Regional sports channels (U.S.) – Guidance for the January 23–24, 2026 game notes:
    • Cavaliers broadcast: Bally/FanDuel Sports Ohio (FDSOH) as the local Cleveland feed.
* Kings broadcast: **NBC Sports California (NBCS-CA)** as the local Sacramento feed.
  • Live TV streaming bundles – One guide highlights Fubo as a streaming option carrying the game’s TV feeds, useful if it includes your local RSN.
