Same rights as Britain, same hours
Ireland shares its NBA rights with the UK and its clock with London, so the picture is the same: most games between midnight and four in the morning, with weekend afternoon games in the US arriving in the Irish evening. The week above highlights the ones that start before half past midnight.
This season brings the league closer than usual. The NBA Manchester Game on 17 January is a short flight from Dublin, and it is one of the Prime Video exclusives, along with the Paris game three days earlier.
What to pick
Sky Sports, or NOW without a contract, has the larger package and the 2027 Finals. Prime Video has fewer games but exclusive events, from the NBA Cup knockouts to the Eastern Conference Finals. League Pass is the one service with every game.
