Watch the Los Angeles Lakers outside Los Angeles
Moved away, or just a fan from afar? Here is exactly how Lakers games reach you when you live outside the Los Angeles area, and what it costs.
Inside Los Angeles versus everywhere else
In the Los Angeles area, most Lakers games are on Spectrum SportsNet (DIRECTV Stream channel 691), included with DIRECTV Stream Choice or MySports + MyHome Team. Outside that area the network is not sold, so the games move to NBA League Pass.
- Out of market: NBA League Pass, $109.98 for the season, billed $36.66 a month for three months
- National games: ESPN, ABC, NBC, Peacock, Prime Video and NBA TV on DIRECTV Stream
- Playoffs: national broadcasts, no package needed
- Living in Los Angeles? See the local channel guide
How NBA League Pass works
Add NBA League Pass to any DIRECTV Stream package or Genre Pack; it works on streaming and satellite.
Regular-season out-of-market games only. Nationally televised games and games inside your home area are blacked out on League Pass. Full NBA League Pass guide

Lakers out-of-market questions
Straight answers. Anything else, ask our team.
Can I watch the Lakers if I live outside Los Angeles?
Yes. Regular-season games are on NBA League Pass ($109.98 for the season, billed $36.66 a month for three months), and national games are on ESPN, ABC, NBC, Peacock, Prime Video and NBA TV, all carried by DIRECTV Stream. Playoff games are national broadcasts wherever you live.
Is Spectrum SportsNet available outside Los Angeles?
Live Lakers games on Spectrum SportsNet are only sold inside the Los Angeles area, by ZIP code. Outside it, the DIRECTV Sports Pack may carry the network’s studio shows, but games follow league blackouts.

NBA League Pass for the regular season plus a DIRECTV Stream package for the national games and playoffs. If you also follow a local team where you live, choose Choice or MySports + MyHome Team so its network is included too.
