Breaking: Live immersive NBA games are here on Apple Vision Pro. I can’t wait! First game is January 9. Lakers vs Bucks.

From the official press release: Apple Immersive places Apple Vision Pro users at the center of live events and stories as they unfold. Spectrum Front Row in Apple Immersive is directed and produced for Vision Pro with a feed of up to 150 Mbps and seven unique viewing angles: the scorer’s table, the area beneath each basket, a high-and-wide view of the arena, the player tunnel, the broadcast booth, and a roaming courtside perspective for interviews and commentary. The broadcast team features Emmy Award-winning play-by-play commentator Mark Rogondino and three-time NBA champion and former Lakers forward Danny Green as an analyst.

Apple is running away from competition very fast!

so like apple watch found its killer app — health & fitness; apple vision just found its version — sports

Have they released the visionOS spectrum sportsnet app yet? It wasn't available yesterday..

Watching robot fights via Apple Vision Pro is gonna be sick in the future 😎

That's really sad

@Jon4Lakers time to dust off the Vision Pro!

Pair this with spatial Persona for watching with friends and it’s 🔥🔥

Huge

🔥 (new acc)

Being a diver fan, I wish they could do this for the 2026 World Cup

That’s a start, let’s hope Apple is going rapidly Max to deliver an immersive content library.

Now we are talking. This is the reason why I bought AVP. Not specifically NBA but for immersive sports. Took some time. NextVR bought by apple a few years back already had all this set up.

Insanely cool idea

Can't wait to watch the Lakers vs. Bucks on Apple Vision Pro!

@Kofie 👀

Live only in the lakers market 😑😫

lame...only one stream per subscription. can't watch it with wife at the same time.

If your wife has a separate free NBA ID, my understanding is that it’ll work for both of you.

Thanks, we wanted to sign up the live stream and Sportsnet sub only supports one stream.

Do you need to pay the NBA app?

Surprisingly, you don't. Full game replays will be available outside the Lakers main market for those with a free NBA ID within 24 hours after the game is over. The live stream is limited to the Lakers main market and several countries outside the US. This is just the start.

@faythebest Which app? NBA?

@faythebest Yes, or Spectrum SportsNet if you’re in the Lakers market.

@faythebest Sadly I’m in Spain… so idk if I will be able to watch it :/
