So, I was trying to catch the Celtics game the other day, and it turned into a bit of a wild goose chase, let me tell you.
First, I figured it would be easy, right? I mean, they’re a big team. I grabbed my phone and started with the good old NBC Sports app. I remembered that they stream games there sometimes. Turns out, that’s where I found the Celtics game, but you need to be logged in with your TV provider to watch it.
- Tried the NBC Sports app first.
- Found the game, but needed to log in.
Then I thought, “Okay, maybe one of those streaming services?” I tried YouTube TV, but I quickly realized that I would need to sign up for a free trial first. I thought it was a good deal.
Next, I remembered that I have a Hulu subscription that includes live TV. Perfect, I thought! I logged into Hulu, browsed through the sports section, and there it was! Celtics game live. I did end up watching it there, but I also realized that not all games are shown on Hulu. The ones on ESPN, TNT, and ABC are there, but for other channels, you might need something else.
Oh, and here’s another thing I found out: if you’re living in the Boston area, and your TV provider has NBC Sports Boston, you’re golden. You can probably just watch the games directly through them.
My conclusions after all this?
- NBC Sports app is a good bet if you have a cable login.
- Streaming services like YouTube TV are a solid choice but might require signing up for a free trial.
- Hulu + Live TV is great if you already have it, but it doesn’t have every single game.
- Living in the Boston area with NBC Sports Boston makes things way easier.
Anyway, it was a bit of a journey, but I finally got to watch the game. Hope this helps someone else out there trying to catch the Celtics in action!
