NBA’s worldwide appeal
NBA teams are as well known as the stars on their roster. The LA Lakers, Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks manage to transcend the sport and are familiar to those who have never even watched a live game.
The likes of Lebron James and Steph Curry are just as famous as stars from years gone by, with the likes of Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan garnering worldwide fame well beyond the court.
The NBA calendar runs from October to June with games played near enough every day. April, May and June are the months when the playoffs and Finals get underway, with the best teams from the Eastern Conference and Western Conference taking each other on in the knockout stages.

Kayo NBA special features
FeaturedWhen it comes to sport, Kayo’s sports streaming services stand out from the rest thanks to its range of special features available to customers – making it the go-to streaming service for Australians for most major sports around the world.
From football to cricket to Formula 1, Kayo Sports are one of Australia’s top TV streaming providers.
Kayo Minis
Kayo Minis are created in a unique way so fans of various sports still get a feel for the rhythm and pace of a game in various sports, from NBA to rugby union, usually lasting half an hour. Compact Replays are a useful tool to catch up on a round of matches or events without dedicating an entire weekend to the sport, so you can catch the best bits from each event every single week.
Key Moments
Kayo’s Key Moments feature works for both live and past events if you’re watching on demand. This feature allows users to navigate toward notable highlights.
If you’re viewing a replay of a cricket match, for example, you’ll benefit from timeline icons showing you where each wicket was taken – simply use keys to change slides across the timeline at the bottom of the screen to navigate towards all the big moments in the game.
No Spoilers
Kayo has a special “No Spoilers” feature (which is turned on by default when opening your account) that actively blocks any reporting of final scores on the site while you’re using it.
With many sports around the world being played at unsociable hours for Australians to watch, this is an excellent exclusive feature so you can watch each game as if it’s live – with no spoilers.
SplitView Feature
Kayo include a split screen feature that lets customers watch up to four streams at the same time – so you can watch multiple races or sports at once on your TV or compatible device.
More features
When you start viewing on Kayo, you’ll see suggested shows on the platform, as well as being able to ‘manage my favourites’ on the app – keeping your favourite shows in one place for quick and easy access.
