If you are a basketball fan then you definitely want to check this out. DirecTV will be offering a free preview of NBA League Pass from January 21st to January 27th. Again, this is a free preview for all DirecTV subscribers so it doesn’t matter which programming package you have.

DirecTV NBA League Pass offers up to 40 games a week that are outside your local area and not covered by your local television stations. I follow my home team which my local channels don’t really cover so if you are in the same situation this is really good for you and allows you to see all of your teams games even if they are out of the area. Most of these games are also covered in HD.

With NBA League Pass you also get NBA TV which is a 24-hour network that has NBA news, scores and highlights, similar to the NFL Network but for basketball. I think one of the coolest features of DirecTV’s NBA League Pass is the ability to watch your favorite games online. If you have to work late and won’t be home in time for the game this feature can come in handy because you can watch the game live in your web browser.

You can add NBA League Pass to your current programming package for 4 payments of $44.75.
