You can watch Celtics vs Knicks in a few main ways, depending on where you live and what you already subscribe to.

Primary TV channels

  • In recent seasons, regular-season Celtics–Knicks games have most often aired on ESPN , ABC , or regional sports networks (RSNs) like NBC Sports Boston and MSG Network.
  • National TV matchups between these two (especially season openers or marquee weekend games) are frequently slotted on ESPN or ABC in prime time.

Streaming options

  • If the game is on ESPN or ABC in your area, you can usually stream it via services that carry those channels, such as YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV (select packages), or Fubo.
  • When it is only on the local RSN (NBC Sports Boston or MSG), those channels may be available on specific live-TV streaming bundles in the relevant market, or directly through their own team/regional apps if you authenticate with a TV provider.

League Pass and out‑of‑market viewing

  • If you are out of market for both Boston and New York, NBA League Pass is often the most straightforward way to watch live, as long as the game is not nationally blacked out in your country.
  • League Pass streams can usually be watched through the official NBA app on phones, tablets, smart TVs, and game consoles, after signing in with your NBA account.

Watch-party and alternative streams

  • Fan-driven live watch parties (with commentary but not the actual game feed) for Celtics vs Knicks are frequently hosted on YouTube channels like “Celtics Today” or “Knicks Now,” which provide real-time scoreboard, play-by-play, and chat interaction alongside the game.
  • These are useful if you cannot access the official broadcast but still want live reactions and analysis while following a game tracker.

What to check right now

  • Look up the specific date and city of the Celtics vs Knicks game you want, then check the game listing on NBA.com or a major sports outlet’s “how to watch” page for that date to see the exact TV channel and stream options. This will tell you whether it’s on a national network, local RSN, or League Pass only for your location.
  • Then match that channel with a live-TV streaming service (or League Pass) you already have, or start a trial on one that carries the needed network in your region.
