How to watch the 76ers vs. Knicks: Channel, live streams, and odds for the LeBron James regular-season Philadelphia debut

The NBA regular season tips off today, and NBC is hosting a can't-miss triple-header with a game before and after this one, too. Below, you can find everything you need to know about how to watch the 76ers vs. Knicks.

LeBron James will make his regular-season debut with the Philadelphia 76ers against the New York Knicks, the reigning champs. If you're hoping to tune in, you've come to the right place. You can live stream the game on Peacock in the US, Sky Sports in the UK, and the NBA League Pass in most other countries. You can access your usual streaming methods from anywhere with the help of a VPN, such as NordVPN.

How to watch the 76ers vs. Knicks in the US

The 76ers vs. Knicks game will air on NBC in the US. Cord-cutters have a few different options to explore when it comes to tuning in, the cheapest of which is Peacock, NBCUniversal's direct streaming counterpart.

NBA games are included in Peacock Premium (and Premium Plus) plans. Peacock Premium costs $13 a month, but a Premium Plus upgrade unlocks ad-free on-demand content and a full NBC live stream for $20 a month.

If you'd prefer a streaming service that lets you watch basketball games beyond those on NBC (more on that in our how to watch the NBA guide), a live TV package might be of interest.

YouTube TV is one of the top platforms on the market. NBC and tons of other channels are available in the live TV service's Main plan, which normally costs $83 a month. New users can get a special deal that will knock their first five months down to $68 a month after a free trial.

Fubo also carries NBC and several other NBA-friendly channels in its plans. Fubo Pro costs $89 a month, but new users can get $25 off their first month after a free trial.

How to watch the 76ers vs. Knicks from anywhere

Select broadcasters around the world have agreements to show certain NBA games, so you should check your local listings for more information. The 76ers vs. Knicks game, for example, will be on Sky Sports Main Event in the UK. That said, the NBA League Pass live streams games in several countries outside the US. Prices vary from region to region.

If you happen to be traveling through an area where you can't access your usual streaming options, you can still do so with the help of a VPN. VPNs, or virtual private networks, are easy-to-use cybersecurity tools that allow people to change their virtual locations. This way, their electronic devices can access their favorite websites and apps from abroad — exactly as they would back home. Since the services we've recommended require country-specific payment methods, this option will work best for those who are just traveling away from home right now.

NordVPN is one of the best VPNs on the market. It's user-friendly and offers a massive selection of global servers. Plus, it includes a 30-day money-back guarantee, so it's no sweat if it's not what you're looking for.
