Direct answer: To watch the Cleveland Cavaliers vs Boston Celtics game, check ESPN as the primary broadcast in the U.S., with live streaming options available through ESPN’s platforms and partner services. Context and options:
- TV broadcast: ESPN will carry the game in many markets, with regional networks like NBC Sports Boston often simulcasting or providing local coverage depending on the date and schedule. If you’re in the Boston market, NBC Sports Boston might also have coverage depending on the season schedule.
- Live streaming (official): Watch ESPN (WatchESPN/ESPN app) typically streams the game for subscribers. ESPN+ may offer additional related NBA content, but the live game broadcast is usually on ESPN channels and the ESPN streaming apps.
- Alternative streaming options (with access): If you don’t have cable, consider streaming services that carry ESPN and NBC Sports Boston in your region:
- Sling TV (Sling Orange includes ESPN; regional availability varies)
* FuboTV (common NBA coverage, includes ESPN and regional sports networks)
* DIRECTV STREAM (formerly AT&T TV) includes ESPN; check regional availability for Celtics games
* ESPN’s own streaming bundles (ESPN+ or ESPN Unlimited) for supplemental content; live game broadcasts are typically on ESPN channels, not solely on ESPN+.
- In-person view: If attending, the game date, location, and tickets can be found for TD Garden, with ESPN as the primary broadcast in many cases.
Notes:
- Exact channel and streaming availability can vary by date and location due to national vs regional rights and blackout rules. If the game is on a national window, ESPN is typically the primary option; in some markets, local or regional networks may also simulcast.
- For the latest, most precise options (channels, streaming links, and trial offers), check a reliable local listing or the official ESPN watch page for the specific game date.
If you’d like, provide your country/region and whether you have a cable subscription or preferred streaming service, and a tailored watch plan with exact channel numbers or app links can be outlined.
