The NBA have announced that the NBA Global Games London 2017 clash between Indiana Pacers and Denver Nuggets will be broadcast LIVE on BT Sport’s Facebook page and Freeview channel.

It will be the first time an NBA game is shown live on Facebook in the UK with the contest at The O2 Arena also live on BT Sport 2 as well as its Showcase channel, which is available without subscription.

“We are always looking for new and innovative ways of showcasing BT Sport,” said Head of BT Sport, Simon Green.

“Showing BT Sport’s coverage of the NBA Global Games London 2017 on Facebook is a great way to reach new audiences and sports fans who enjoy their entertainment online, through social media and on their mobile devices.”

Elsa Memmi, NBA EMEA Vice President, Global Content and Media Distribution, added: “We are excited that BT Sport will stream NBA Global Games London 2017 live on Facebook, allowing us to reach more fans – wherever they are – across the UK.”

BT Sport’s Facebook live stream will also be shared on the NBA’s Facebook page in the UK.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
