Tubi — the ad-supported streaming service owned by Fox — today announced a multi-year partnership that brings professional basketball to the platform. A smattering of live G League games brings the NBA’s minor league to the free service, starting with the NBA G League Ignite (that’s a developmental team) taking on the Ontario (Calif.) Clippers at 10 p.m. ET November 10.

It’s all part of a new FAST channel (that’s short for free, ad-supported television) dubbed NBA G League TV. It’ll sport more than 75 games each season, including more than a dozen Ignite games and select playoff games. And each Friday and Saturday Tubi will feature a doubleheader with four exclusive live games, along with behind-the-scenes content, original series, studio programming, classic games, and highlights.
