You can watch Celtics vs. Houston Rockets on a mix of national, regional, and streaming platforms, depending on your location and blackout rules.

Main ways to watch

  • National TV (US & international variants)
    • ESPN and its regional portals (like ESPN UK/ESPN NL) regularly carry Celtics–Rockets matchups, especially when both teams are near the top of their conferences.
* Check your local ESPN listing or your cable/satellite EPG for “Boston Celtics vs. Houston Rockets” on or around February 5, 2026.
  • Regional sports networks (RSNs)
    • When the game is in Boston, it is typically on NBC Sports Boston (NBCSB) in the Celtics’ local market.
* When the game is in Houston, it often appears on the Rockets’ regional channel (shown as **SCHN** in some listings) in the Houston market.
  • League Pass and team streams
    • NBA League Pass (including the League Pass Amazon Channel) is listed as a way to watch Celtics–Rockets games live, especially for viewers outside the home/away blackout zones.
* If you’re out of both local markets, League Pass is usually the most straightforward live option.
  • Live TV streaming services
    • Fubo is repeatedly listed as a service that carries these matchups live when it has the relevant channels for your region (RSNs or national broadcasters).
* Other cable-replacement services (YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, etc.) may carry ESPN and, in some regions, NBC Sports Boston—so if your package has those channels, it should work for the game as well. (Channel availability varies by ZIP.)

After the game

  • Highlights and replays
    • ESPN’s regional sites host highlights, recap videos, and stats for Celtics vs. Rockets after the game finishes.
* JustWatch and similar aggregation sites sometimes list where full replays and highlight packages are available on demand.

Quick checklist
