NBA 360 Broadcast
‘NBA 360’ is a simultaneous live telecast of multiple NBA games in a continuous feed produced by the NBA. Fans across Europe, MENA and Canada will be able to enjoy a 5+ hour live broadcast switching from game-to-game to not miss any part of the action. A record 30 NBA EME broadcasters from over 40 countries and territories will take the NBA 360 feed on Jan. 17 featuring 26 European players across the six games.

NBA 360 is a concept that debuted in Europe in the 2018-19 season and allows us to maximise the advantageous time difference of teams playing on MLK Day, providing fans with wall-to-wall coverage of their favorite teams and players.
