Finals Shown Live and Free

In a major win for fans, every game of the Hungry Jack’s NBL Finals Series will be shown live and free.

ESPN has announced it will make all Semi-Finals and Grand Final games available live and free on ESPN, via Kayo Freebies, in addition to ESPN’s existing subscription platforms.

Kayo Freebies can be accessed by downloading the Kayo Sports app or visiting www.kayosports.com.au/freebies.

To unlock the action, fans simply need to create an account the same way they would for free-to-air streaming apps. Kayo Freebies are free with no credit card details required.

Game 2 of the Sydney Kings v Illawarra Hawks series on Sunday, May 1, will also be broadcast live and free on 10 Peach.

“We are thrilled our fans will have access to every finals game for free,” Hungry Jack’s NBL Commissioner Jeremy Loeliger said.

“We have gone to the next level this season and the finals promise to be spectacular. We wanted to ensure every single fan had free access to every finals game, and with the help of ESPN, we have been able to achieve that goal.”
