How to watch NBL games for free
For the 2023/24 regular season, games in the 2pm and 4pm (AEDT) timeslots on Sundays will be live and free on 10 Peach and 10 play.
Kayo will also screen those Sunday games at no cost on Kayo Freebies.
That means you'll be able to watch some games for free, but you won't be able to choose which teams as it will only be whoever happens to be playing on the Sunday afternoon.
We've broken down the season to show how each team fares in getting free-to-air coverage throughout the season.

Basketball fans can stream ESPN with Foxtel Now to watch the NBL. The channel is included in the Sport pack.
