NBA 2K League Partners With Twitch For Live Streaming

Every game in the new NBA 2K League will stream live on Twitch under a new multiyear partnership announced on Wednesday.

The NBA’s new esports league held its draft for the 17 participating teams at Madison Square Garden earlier this month — which also was streamed on Twitch — and the season debuts on May 1. NBA commissioner Adam Silver announced the first overall pick.

The streaming deal will include up to 199 regular season games played on NBA 2K as well as three in-season tournaments and the entire finals, with analysts providing commentary on the action.
