SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio Spurs fans will want to download the enhanced NBA App immediately.
The NBA announced the launch of new features available to fans globally on the NBA App – the official home of basketball – for the 2024-25 season, showcasing the league’s dedication to innovation to enhance the fan viewing experience.
Multiview, now available on connected devices, highlights the new elements. It allows fans to watch up to four games simultaneously on NBA League Pass, the league’s live game subscription service.
And that is just scratching the surface of what the enhanced NBA App will offer.
For Spurs fans across the globe or, more specifically, all Victor Wembanyama fans, the NBA App will have a special episode of “Pass the Rock,” the popular NBA App series highlighting the emerging league stars, with a special “Rookie Year Edition.” This episode will follow Spurs star Victor Wembanyama’s transition to the NBA, culminating in him being named the Kia NBA Rookie of the Year.
Wemby' episode will kick off the new content fans can find on the NBA App.
Last season, the NBA spotlighted Wemby's rookie road but did not completely cover his entire season, which led to him being named the Rookie of the Year.
Other features include game-changing enhancements, “NBA Insights,” an AI-powered tool that leverages the power of Microsoft Azure. The feature uses AI rooted in deep basketball understanding to identify critical narratives, player performances, and notable milestones, providing fans with a continuous feed of text-based updates that go beyond the box score to better contextualize what’s happening on the court.
The league is also using Generative AI to localize content, offering game recaps in French, Portuguese, and Spanish, as well as translations for select original programming.
The NBA App will incorporate “Dunk Score,” an AI-calculated grade for in-game dunks in real time based on a wide range of factors, including the player’s jumping distance, style, and force at the rim and the opposing team's defensive efforts.
Need more reason to get the NBA App and NBA League pass as well?
On NBA League Pass, fans will have access to more than 800 live out-of-market games and a variety of alternate telecast options, including in-language streams (Spanish, Portuguese, and Korean), the return of the popular "NBA Strategy Stream," which provides fans with a unique viewing option breaking down in-game tactics, and “NBA HooperVision,” which features NBA legend Quentin Richardson. Additional alternate stream options will be announced throughout the season.
NBA League Pass will also be the primary destination for NBA games every weekend in November, with all games scheduled to stream on the platform (with no national blackouts).
Subscribers can access up to 15 games a day on weekends throughout the month. NBA ID members—the league’s global membership program—receive complimentary access to NBA League Pass during the first Member Days of the season on November 16 and 17.
NBA ID members in the United States and Canada will also have the opportunity to participate in a series of challenges in the NBA App and http://NBA.com between Oct. 20 and 27 for a chance to win a trip to the Emirates NBA Cup in Las Vegas.
