Knicks vs Warriors live stream: Can you watch for free?

Add as a preferred source on Google

The Golden State Warriors open a three-game homestand with a matchup against the New York Knicks tonight. These squads last met at Madison Square Garden a couple of weeks ago, with the Dubs rolling to the 110-99 victory.

Tip-off is about to happen, at 10:00 p.m. ET, and will be televised nationally on ESPN. If you want to watch a live stream of the game, there are a number of different ways you can do that, including three free options.

The Best Way to Watch the Knicks vs Warriors Live Stream

Sling TV isn’t one of those free options (you can find those just below this), but we’ll start here because it’s the cheapest way to watch the nationally televised NBA games throughout the rest of the season.

The “Sling Orange” channel plan comes with ESPN, TNT and ESPN3 (which simulcasts the games that are on ABC), while the “Sports Extra” add-on will get you NBA TV. Those four channels alone are good for about 15 NBA games per week, and it will run you only $51 per month. That’s far cheaper than any other streaming service with those channels, but you can also get it for just $31 (or $20 if you just get “Sling Orange”) for your first month, which is insane value.

Once you’ve signed up for Sling, you can watch a live stream of the Knicks vs Warriors on the Sling website or app. You can also watch on the ESPN website or app by signing in with your Sling credentials.

Is There a Free Knicks vs Warriors Live Stream?

OK, you’re here for some free options. We’ve got plenty of those, as well:

Fubo: The “Pro” channel package will get you a massive 180-plus TV channels, which includes ESPN and ABC. This one will cost you $60 for your first month and then $80 per month after that, but it comes with a seven-day free trial if you just want to watch the Warriors vs Knicks without paying anything.

YouTube TV: The “Base Plan” comes with 100-plus channels, including ESPN, ABC and TNT. It’ll run you $64 per month for your first three months, and then $73 per month after that, but it comes with a five-day free trial.

DirecTV Stream: There are four different channel packages, but all of them include ESPN, ABC and TNT. The cheapest, “Entertainment,” is $80 per month for 75-plus total channels, but it comes with a five-day free trial.

Like with Sling, you can watch the game live on any of these services’ websites or apps, or you can log-in with your credentials to watch on the ESPN website or app.

How to Watch the Knicks vs Warriors Live Stream from Abroad

If you want to watch the game via one the aforementioned streaming services from outside the United States, you’ll need a virtual private network (VPN). These sites will block you when they recognize you’re outside the US, but a VPN hides your location (via your IP address) and connects you digitally to a server in the US, allowing you to sidestep those blocks.

NordVPN has an astounding 2,000-plus servers in the United States alone (and more than 6,000 worldwide), so you can be confident you’ll find one that works with your intended streaming service. It’s also one of the fastest and most reliable VPN’s out there, plus it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can sign up risk-free even though there isn’t a free trial.

The Emmys are coming to Amazon's Prime Video, and the esteemed awards ceremony will be available to watch for a global audience. Amazon has an exclusive deal with the Television Academy, which spans six years and marks the first time that the awards have found a single streaming or broadcasting hub for a worldwide audience, after years of a rotating model where the likes of ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC got the rights.

"Beginning with the 2027 ceremony, the star-studded event will continue to anchor the television season by airing live in September. In a major win for entertainment fans, the ceremony will not be behind a paywall; instead, the Emmy Awards will be free to view for audiences worldwide," says Amazon in a press statement.

BTS was just the beginning. Spotify’s music quiz is coming to 2,000+ artists
Think you know your favorite artist? Spotify lets you prove it.
Spotify BTS Music Quiz

Spotify tried something fun with BTS earlier this year as it turned listening to the group into a trivia game. Now we know that wasn't supposed to remain a one-off BTS experience. Starting today, Spotify is expanding Music Quiz to more than 2,000 participating artists, giving Premium subscribers a way to test how well they actually know the musicians filling their libraries. The feature is beginning its rollout across 11 countries, including the US, UK, Canada, India, Australia, and Singapore.

BTS served as the starting point. Spotify launched its first Music Quiz alongside the group's ARIRANG album in March, letting Premium users answer questions about BTS' music, milestones, and career before comparing and sharing their scores. Six months later, Spotify is turning that experiment into an actual platform feature.
