EL SEGUNDO, Calif.—Spectrum SportsNet and the Los Angeles Lakers have launched Spectrum SportsNet+, a direct-to-consumer streaming subscription service that is delivering a 24/7 feed of Spectrum SportsNet programming, including live Lakers games and behind-the-scenes Lakers content, to sports enthusiasts.
The launch means that fans in the Lakers regional coverage territory of Southern California, Hawaii and Southern Nevada without access to Spectrum SportsNet can purchase Spectrum SportsNet+ for $19.99 per month or $179.99 per season.
Existing Spectrum, DIRECTV and Cox pay TV customers who have access to Spectrum SportsNet programming will be able to watch via the Spectrum SportsNet app at no additional cost, and with authenticated access to Spectrum SportsNet+.
SportsNet+ is an experience within the NBA App and NBA.com and can be viewed on NBA.com and the NBA App. It is not a new separate app.
