NBA Finals: New York Knicks vs. San Antonio Spurs

The 2026 NBA Finals are in full swing and it’s been a tight series so far, with the New York Knicks leading 3 - 1 after losing Game 3 to the San Antonio Spurs at Madison Square Garden before taking another win in Game 4 at the same venue. Now we look ahead to Game 5, where the Knicks can officially put an end to the 2026 series or let the Spurs get their sixth game.

This year, the NBA has tweaked the schedule for the Finals series, so as not to overlap with the FIFA World Cup. So Australians might be a little bit lost around exactly when and how to live stream the 2026 NBA Finals series. Here’s everything you need to know if you’re hoping to catch every minute of the Knicks and Spurs live.

How can I live-stream the 2026 NBA Finals in Australia?

Australians have a few options for streaming the NBA Finals series live. As ESPN holds the broadcast rights for Australia, you can stream the NBA Finals wherever ESPN is available, which is Kayo Sports, Foxtel and, now, Disney Plus. Of those options, Disney Plus is the cheapest, starting at $9.99 per month if you don’t mind ad breaks. However, Disney Plus doesn’t offer a free trial, whereas Kayo Sports and Foxtel Now do.

Lastly, bonafide NBA fans who aren’t interested in other sports can sign up to NBA League Pass, directly or through Amazon Prime Video. Basic access to NBA League Pass costs $24.99 per month (for a single stream) or $32.99 per month for League Pass Premium (3 streams and additional perks like an in-arena feed).

When to watch the NBA Finals in Australia

The first four games of the 2026 NBA Finals are complete, with the Knicks leading 3-1. The New York Knicks took Game 1 leading 105-95, then repeated the magic in Game 2 with another winning score of 105, except this time the Spurs made them work for it, scoring 104 in an incredibly tense game. Then in Game 3, the San Antonio Spurs finally overcame the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, winning 115-111. The Spurs' success was short-lived, however, as the Knicks managed to take another win in the tightest game yet, ending 107 - 106 Knicks' way in Game 4. Game 5 takes place on Sunday, June 14 at 10:30am AEST, where the Spurs will have one last chance to continue the series. If they succeed, Game 6 will go ahead on Wednesday, June 17. If they don't, 2026 officially belongs to the New York Knicks.

Here's exactly when Australians can watch all the NBA action live this month.
