On the heels of Wednesday’s history-making comeback, the Knicks and Spurs head back to San Antonio for what could be the final game of the 2026 championship series. Broadcast live on June 13, at 5:30 p.m. PT/8:30 p.m. ET on ABC, Game 5 can also be livestreamed on any streaming service that carries said network, namely DirecTV (with a five-day free trial), Fubo (with a five-day free trial), Sling and Hulu + Live TV.
For another option, in select countries outside of the U.S. — including the U.K., Ireland, France and Mexico — the 2026 NBA Finals are streaming exclusively on Prime Video, meaning U.S. basketball fans can use a VPN (ExpressVPN subscriptions start at $2.79 per month) and connect to a country’s server where Amazon holds the NBA Finals broadcasting rights.
