The NBA has expanded its partnership with NextVR to provide virtual reality content through its subscription streaming service, League Pass, every night this season.
For the 2018/19 season, which kicks off on Tuesday, NextVR will feature weekly immersive 3D games. This will be in addition to the 2D streams of every League Pass game that are viewable through NextVR’s its virtual screening room, where games appear on a theater-sized screen. Other on-demand programming, such as highlights, will be available as well. This VR footage will add to a widening array of digital options for basketball fans.
Also new this year is compatibility with both the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive headsets. Social features have been added to the NBA games streamed through Oculus Venues, allowing fans to watch games live alongside their friends in virtual courtside seats.
