Watching NBA Finals 2022 on Sling TV: channels, cost, devices and more

Two of the NBA's most decorated franchises will be battling out for the Larry O'Brien Trophy as the Boston Celtics and the Golden State Warriors go head-to-head in the 2022 NBA Finals.

Hoops fans looking to watch the Celtics vs Warriors square off in the best-of-seven series on live TV will need ABC (which has exclusive broadcasting rights to the 2022 NBA Finals) or ESPN3 (which will also simulcast Finals games).

The great news for cord cutters that it's pretty straight forward to watch every second of play, with Sling TV offering access to NBA Playoffs live streams for every match. Better still, you can currently get your first month at half-price.

In fact, if you don't have cable, it's the cheapest OTT way to watch every game of the series, and in this article we'll explain how to watch every game of the NBA Finals on Sling TV and what it'll cost you. 

Are the 2022 NBA Finals on Sling TV?

The great news is that every single game of the series will be available to watch on Sling, meaning you'll be able to watch Stephen Curry and Jayson Tatum go head-to-head without the need for a cable subscription..
