Twitch to stream NBA G League games beginning December 15
Twitch will stream up to six G League games per week
The NBA G League announced a partnership to stream games on Twitch, the world’s leading social video service and community for gamers with 15 million daily active users, beginning Dec. 15.
During the 2017-18 regular season, basketball fans can expect up to six NBA G League games to stream live on Twitch each week at twitch.tv/nbagleague. After each live broadcast, these games will be available on demand.
The partnership will feature several technological innovations, like the “co-stream” — which would allow them to, among other things, show the feed of the game while talking about it, much like a regular play-by-play of a game. Others watching the stream can then comment on the broadcast as it is going on. Fans will also be allowed to access stats for players or teams from both the game and the entire G League season.
