Add as a preferred source on Google

The Phoenix Suns vs Sacramento Kings game is about to tip off at Footprint Center. Just two games separate these squads in the crowded Western Conference playoff race, so this one figures to have both immediate and long-term implications on seeding.

The game starts in an hour, at 9:00 p.m. ET, and will only be televised locally on Arizona’s Family Sports (in Suns markets) and NBC Sports California (in Kings markets). Fortunately, whether you live locally or out of market, there are some different ways you can watch a free live stream of the game. Here’s everything you need to know to watch the Suns vs Kings online.

The Best Way to Watch Suns vs Kings

Fubo TV.

Fubo’s “Pro” package is a pricey long-term option at $92 per month ($80 base price plus $12 for regional sports channels), but it comes with a free trial, so you can watch tonight’s game at no cost.

Additionally, Fubo is a strong option no matter where you live in the United States. It includes NBC Sports California for those who live in the Kings market, and it has NBA League Pass available as an add-on that can be included with your free trial. NBA League Pass allows you to watch every out-of-market game during the entire season.

As previously mentioned, Fubo is the only option if you live in the Suns market. However, if you live somewhere else in the US and you’ve already used up your Fubo free trial, there are some other ways to stream the game for free.

DirecTV Stream‘s “Choice” package and YouTube TV‘s “Base Plan” both include NBC Sports California for those in the Kings market, both have NBA League Pass available as an add-on and both come with a free trial that can include any add-on’s you want.

If you live out of market, NBA League Pass is also available through Amazon Prime Channels. You’ll need a subscription to Amazon Prime to sign up, but you can get a free trial of both Prime and the League Pass Channel.

Other Ways to Watch the Suns vs Kings Live Stream

App icons for Disney+, Hulu and ESPN.

If you live in the Kings market, you do have one other option, as Hulu With Live TV includes NBC Sports California in local markets. It costs $77 per month and doesn’t come with a free trial, but it does include Hulu’s massive streaming library, Disney+ and ESPN+, so it’s a strong option if you want to watch Kings game locally and you’re looking for something long-term.

NordVPN is one of the best options out there, plus it comes with a free 30-day trial.

The Hollywood argument over whether AI belongs in film and television production may already have been overtaken by reality. Netflix has confirmed that its creative partners used generative AI workflows across roughly 300 titles in 2026, with the largest concentration of work happening during post-production.

Keep in mind this number describes AI-assisted production workflows and not 300 completely machine-generated films and shows. Regardless, it does show how quickly the technology has moved beyond isolated experiments.

Spotify is rolling out a new AI-powered conversational feature that lets Premium users talk directly to the app about what they want to hear. Users can type or speak a request and refine the results through follow-up questions instead of manually searching for a song, podcast, or audiobook.

The feature is available from Spotify’s Home and Now Playing screens and works much like a personal audio assistant. It can choose what plays, answer questions about the current track or album, recommend something new, and look through your listening history to provide more personalized responses.

Christopher Nolan’s personal take on smartphones is surprisingly practical
Christopher Nolan says not owning a smartphone helps him think better

Christopher Nolan has spent his career embracing cutting-edge filmmaking technology while resisting one of the most common gadgets on the planet: the smartphone. The Oscar-winning director behind Oppenheimer, Inception, and the upcoming The Odyssey says his decision isn't about rejecting technology altogether.

His reasoning, however, is far more practical than philosophical.
