You can watch Los Angeles Lakers games through a mix of local regional sports channels, national TV partners, and official streaming options, depending on where you live and whether the game is national or local.

Local Lakers broadcasts

For fans in Southern California and the Lakers’ home market, most regular- season games are carried on the team’s regional sports network.

  • Spectrum SportsNet is the primary TV channel that airs most local Lakers games in the Los Angeles market.
  • Spectrum also offers Spectrum SportsNet+ , a direct‑to‑consumer streaming option for in‑market fans, available monthly or as a season pass.
  • If you have a traditional cable or satellite package that includes Spectrum SportsNet, you can usually sign in with your TV provider credentials to watch via the SportsNet app or NBA’s linked streaming portal.

Out‑of‑market streaming (League Pass)

If you live outside the Lakers’ home territory, the NBA’s own product is the main way to watch most games.

  • NBA League Pass carries out‑of‑market regular‑season Lakers games that are not blacked out by national TV.
  • League Pass can be subscribed to directly through the NBA, or as an add‑on through some platforms such as Amazon Prime Video or certain live TV streaming services.

National TV and big games

Marquee Lakers matchups often move from local TV to national broadcasts.

  • During the 2025–26 season, national NBA games are split across ESPN , ABC , NBC/Peacock , and Amazon Prime Video , with different days of the week assigned (for example, Monday on Peacock, Tuesday on NBC/Peacock, Wednesday on ESPN, various Prime/ABC windows later in the week).
  • When a Lakers game is on one of these national partners, it typically will not appear on the local regional network and must be watched on that national channel or its streaming app (e.g., ESPN app, Peacock, Prime Video).

Live TV streaming services

Cord‑cutters can often get Lakers games through streaming bundles instead of cable.

  • Services such as Fubo , Hulu + Live TV , Sling , and DIRECTV Stream carry combinations of ESPN/ABC, NBC, and in some cases Spectrum SportsNet, allowing you to watch both national and many local Lakers games without a traditional cable subscription.
  • Availability of Spectrum SportsNet in these services varies by region and provider, so checking the channel list for your ZIP code is important.

In‑arena option

If you want to skip TV entirely:

  • The Lakers play home games at Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles, and tickets can be bought via marketplaces such as SeatGeek or directly through arena or team links.
