NBA G League Extends Partnership With Social Streaming Platform Twitch

The NBA G League is returning to Twitch this season with games set to air every Friday and Saturday from Feb. 8 through Mar. 23.

To complement the Twitch stream of the NBA’s minor league, the platform will offer the option to co-stream on every game. Co-streaming is a unique feature on the social broadcast platform that lets users share another channel’s video feed while adding custom play-by-play commentary. Twitch will allow anyone to co-stream, rather than just a select group of influencers.

Twitch is also upgrading its official G League Extension this season, which lets users view stats during live games, and earn points for tuning in and interacting with stat sheets and leaderboards.
