Wish you could be courtside at a Lakers game? Put your Vision Pro back on and fire up the NBA app
Select Lakers games will stream live in Apple Immersive Video with courtside and under-basket camera views for Vision Pro users, starting early 2026, Apple said.
- Spectrum and Apple will team up to stream select Los Angeles Lakers games live in Apple Immersive Video for Apple Vision Pro users, with Spectrum SportsNet powering the streams.
- To watch the immersive broadcasts, you will need an Apple Vision Pro running visionOS 26 and either the NBA app or the Spectrum SportsNet app, with special courtside and under‑basket cameras capturing the games.
- Live streams will be restricted to headset owners in the Lakers' regional broadcast territory and likely require authentication, with streams running at up to 150 Mbps and a three‑day replay window.
- The arrangement could boost the Vision Pro's relevance as the NBA commits to regular live broadcasts, and analysts say the Lakers pilot may encourage other teams to try Apple Immersive Video.
- Apple and the NBA say the schedule will be announced later this fall, with the first immersive broadcasts expected by early 2026 and replays available internationally via the NBA app.
