Find NBA TV on DIRECTV
NBA TV is on DIRECTV channel 216. Confirm that the channel is included and authorized in your actual package; seeing a listing is not the same as having access. Check the exact matchup and date before setting a recording.
NBA TV and League Pass are different products. Local-market restrictions can still affect a nationally listed NBA TV game. Check your address and the game’s blackout notice instead of assuming that channel 216 or a League Pass subscription works everywhere.
The NBA TV doubleheader
The earlier broadcast is Nuggets versus Pacers in Mexico City at 5 p.m. ET. A guide entry for the first game is not a recording for the later New York–Cleveland matchup.
Before tip-off
