ESPN, available through Foxtel, has got basketball fans in Australia covered for the entirety of the 2022 NBA Finals, which you can also stream on your laptop or mobile using the Foxtel Go app. 

Each game of the Celtics vs Warriors series is set to tip-off at either 11am or 10am AEST.

The NBA Finals are also being shown on the excellent sports streaming service Kayo Sports, which is the ideal option for anyone who doesn't want to commit to a lengthy and pricey contract.

Kayo lets you stream on two devices with its $25 per month Basic plan, and on three devices with its $35 Premium plan. Both come with a FREE 14-day trial.

Alternatively there's the NBA League Pass, which is showing every remaining NBA game live, with a subscription starting at $39.99 after a 7-day FREE trial.

Outside Australia? Don't forget, you can take your NBA coverage abroad with you as well. For those wanting to watch home coverage of sports from overseas, a good VPN is the solution.

Basketball fans based in the UK can tune into the 2022 NBA Finals on Sky Sports. The network will be showing every game from the Celtics vs Warriors series, but be warned that all of the action takes place very late at night. Each game tips off at either 2am or 1am BST.

Subscribers also get to watch on the move using the Sky Go app, which is available on nearly all modern phones, tablets, laptops, PCs and consoles.

If you don't fancy being locked in to a long, expensive contract, consider the more flexible streaming option, Now (formerly Now TV).

Alternatively, fans might want to check out the NBA League Pass, which starts at £14.99 after a 7-day free trial, and gets you every remaining game of the 2022 NBA season.

If you don't have Sportsnet on cable, you can subscribe to standalone streaming service SN Now instead, with prices starting at $14.99 per month or $149.99 per year.
