Basketball at the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics: Watch It Online Without Cable

Basketball at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics will be one of the Games’ biggest attractions, and I can’t wait to watch Team USA compete on the court. Let me share everything you need to know about catching all the action.

In a hurry? Peacock will be providing full coverage of Los Angeles 2028. And you can watch it all on live TV with these streaming services:

  • Fubo: The best streaming service for international sports also provides 150+ well-selected channels. Fubo allows you to try out its service with a free trial.
  • DIRECTV STREAM: Get a great channel lineup with the best selection of RSNs in the industry. A 5-day free trial is now available for DIRECTV STREAM.
  • Hulu + Live TV: This total entertainment streaming service provides a great on-demand selection and all the essential live TV channels with a 3-day free trial.

If you can’t watch your favorite sports because of your location, get ExpressVPN to access the content you deserve.

Why You Need a VPN Today

However, first you need a VPN to unblock US streaming services from . Our favourite is ExpressVPN. It’s definitely not the cheapest option at $6.67/month, but it just works – and across all your devices.

They have servers in 25+ US cities/states and 105 countries, which unblock access to premium streaming platforms available only in the US, as well as free “on demand” TV services worldwide.

You’ll have access to local platforms as if you were in the country, meaning you can watch BBC iPlayer as if you were in the UK, CBC Gem as if you were in Canada, plus hundreds more worldwide.

Sign Up for ExpressVPN

Hotdog users get three months free at ExpressVPN, so it’s a “no-brainer” for us. Decide for yourself with their 30 day money-back guarantee.

IMPORTANT: Once you’ve installed your VPN and connected to a US server, you’ll still need to subscribe separately to access premium streaming services.

What Channels Will Olympics Basketball Be Played On

NBCUniversal has been the home of the Olympics since 2000 and will continue so until at least 2032.

So the Olympic basketball games will air on a number of the NBCUniversal channels. The main ones are USA and NBC itself (especially for the medal rounds). Some will air on other channels like E! and CNBC. Peacock will feature coverage of most events. Many events that are only on Peacock are shown slightly later on the live TV channels.

How Can You Watch All the Olympics Basketball Action

Streaming services really do offer the best way to watch the Olympics. They are cheaper and include better features (like DVRs included with most plans). If you only care about the Olympics, you can sign up with Peacock.

Below are the live TV streaming services that will allow you to watch all the Team USA basketball games along with most others — and much more.

Fubo

fubotv

Fubo is a great general streaming service with a focus on sports with a huge amount of extra content for the Olympics. Its basic plan offers all the channels you need: NBC, USA, E, and CNBC. In total, you get over 150+ channels, which include all the local ones.

In addition to the NBCUniversal channels, Fubo offers another 50+ sports channels for $79.99/month. You also get unlimited cloud DVR and the ability to stream on up to 10 TVs/devices at the same time. And if you upgrade to the Elite plan, you can watch NBC in 4K.

If you aren’t sure, you can use Fubo for 7 days free of charge to see if it’s as good as it sounds.

Other Ways to Watch Olympic Basketball

Depending on just how big a fan you are, you may find some of these options to work as well for you:

  • Antenna: If your primary interest is the metal rounds of the Olympic basketball competition, you will do well with just NBC. And being an OTA channel, you can probably pick it up with an antenna — in HD!
  • DIRECTV STREAM: To get all the channels airing the Olympics, you will need the Entertainment plan for $79.99/month. It’s a complete cable replacement plan with over 90+ channels (including HBO MAX for the first year) and the streaming ability on unlimited TVs/devices at once.
  • YouTube TV: A solid streaming service with all the channels airing Olympic events for $72.99/month.

Smart TVs and Other Devices to Live Stream Olympic Basketball

One of the best things that’s happened over the last few years is how compatible streaming services have become. All of the major services have apps that work on the vast majority of devices that are used today.

Fubo, Hulu, and Sling TV support LG and Samsung TVs in addition to all those that have Android TV built in. They also support the HDMI-connected devices like Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and Roku.

Do you want to stream to your phone or tablet? No problem. Android and iOS (iPhone, iPad) are both fully supported. You can also use these devices to cast to your smart TV or Chromecast device.

And for the gamers out there, these services support streaming on the Xbox. Hulu supports the PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. And VR fans might want to check out Sling TV, which supports the Oculus.
