NextVR Starts Enabling International Fans To Watch NBA Games In Live Virtual Reality

NextVR as part of its multi-year partnership with the NBA will offer live regular season games in virtual reality internationally — except in China — beginning Thursday when the Portland Trail Blazers face the Orlando Magic.

Fans can watch the eight remaining NBA games scheduled for a live VR broadcast with an NBA LEAGUE PASS subscription or a Single Game pass for $6.99 per game, enabling fans far from an NBA arena to have virtual courtside seats through their headsets. Previously, fans in Canada were among those unable to watch games in live VR, including the two scheduled Toronto Raptors games.
