The YES App will stream two live games a week
The British
Basketball League is proud to announce its programming partnership with the
YES Network, the most-watched regional sports network in the United States and
the exclusive regional television home of the 27-time World Champions New York
Yankees, the Brooklyn Nets and the New York Liberty.
As part of this collaboration, the YES Network’s Emmy
Award-winning YES App will stream two live British Basketball League games per
week each Thursday and Friday starting at 2:30 pm ET, with the first League
game airing today (Leicester Riders vs. London Lions at 2:30
pm ET).
The games will be available on the YES App to subscribers in YES’ regional footprint, which includes all of New York State and Connecticut, northern and central New Jersey and northeastern Pennsylvania.
The network has been the most-watched regional sports network in the country for 18 of the past 20 years.
In addition to the two games streamed weekly, fans can enjoy replays of select games on the YES Network’s linear channel Thursday or Friday in primetime.
The British Basketball League’s brand-new UNBEATABLE magazine show will also air on the YES Network and the YES App.
YES App subscribers will be able to watch homegrown talent
play across the pond, including Brooklyn’s Tarik Phillips of the London Lions
and Samuel Idowu of the Leicester Riders, and Buffalo-born Maceo Jack of the Cheshire
Phoenix.
The YES App is accessible via yesnetwork.com/info/watch-yes-network and
through devices such as Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Apple TV, Google TV and Samsung-connected
TVs, and on mobile.
