So, depending on the free trials you have available, and the way you time them out, that’s as low as $99 to watch every remaining Lakers game from in market.
Out of Market
If the Lakers play outside your market, and you live in the United States, here’s a step-by-step guide to watch every game for as cheap as possible:
- Sign up for NBA League Pass for the rest of the season.
- This costs $50 for the rest of the season, and will get you every Lakers game that is not nationally televised.
- If you sign up for League Pass via Prime Video, you can get a seven-day free trial.
- Before the Feb. 1 game, sign up for Peacock “Premium”.
- This costs $11 per month and will get you every Lakers game that is on NBC or Peacock.
- If you sign up for Peacock “Premium Plus” via Prime Video, you can get a free seven-day trial.
- Before the Feb. 12 game, sign up for Prime Video.
- This costs $9 per month and will get you every Lakers game that is on Prime Video.
- It comes with a 30-day free trial.
- Before the Jan. 28 game, sign up for ESPN Unlimited

- At any time, you can also sign up for free trials of Fubo “Pro” or DirecTV Stream “Entertainment” or Hulu + Live TV or YouTube TV “Base Plan” to watch games on ABC, NBC or ESPN.
If you don’t use any free trials, that’s $200 total for the rest of the season to watch every single Lakers game from out of market. Of course, if you time out free trials and when you sign up for things, you can potentially lower that price a bit.
