Alright, so I wanted to watch the Boston Celtics game the other day, and I’m not gonna lie, it took me a minute to figure out how to stream it. Turns out, it’s not as straightforward as you might think. I mean, I know my way around the internet and all, but this had me scratching my head for a bit.

First thing I did was try the usual NBC Sports app, right? Because I knew they usually show the games. I found out that the actual streaming is not on it anymore. It’s all moved to another app. Well, that’s just great. Another app to download.
Next, I went down the rabbit hole of trying those free trials. You know the ones, where you sign up and then have to remember to cancel before they charge you a crazy amount? Yeah, those. I tried a few of those, like fuboTV and Hulu. They both have NBC Sports Boston, which is what I needed. But some were for new users and some had some restrictions, and I had to check if I was eligible. It was a whole thing. I even looked at YouTube TV, but honestly, I was getting a little tired of all the trial and error.
- First, I made sure I was in the Boston area.
- Then, I checked which providers include NBC Sports Boston.
- Finally, I used one of the free trials from fuboTV to stream the game.
Here’s how I got it to work
So, yeah, it wasn’t the easiest thing in the world, but I finally got to watch the Celtics game. They played the Hawks that day, and sadly, it didn’t go the Celtics’ way. They lost, which is a bummer. But hey, at least I figured out the whole streaming situation. Now I know for next time, right? It’s a bit of a hassle, but once you get the hang of it, you’re golden. Just gotta jump through a few hoops first.
