How to Catch the NBA's Tribute to MLK Online Without Cable this MLK Day

The National Basketball Association (NBA) will celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy by hosting nine games on Monday, January 19, 2026, as part of their annual tribute. The games are scheduled across four nationally televised networks: Peacock, NBC, FOX, and ESPN.

For those without cable or looking for an alternative way to watch the game, there are several options available. One popular choice is Peacock, a streaming service that offers access to NBA games, including the MLK Day lineup, with its ad-supported plan starting at $10.99/month.

However, users can also opt for DirecTV's "MySports" package, which includes NBC, or FuboTV, which has over 100 live TV channels and carries FOX, ESPN, ABC, and CBS. Fubo offers a free 7-day trial to allow viewers to test the service before committing to a subscription.

In addition, sports fans can explore Hulu + Live TV, which provides access to NBA games on NBC, along with over 95 other channels, starting at $89.99/month.

Sling TV is another affordable option that includes NBC as part of its Sling Orange + Blue package for $33 (with additional fees for the Sports Extra package).

With so many options available, viewers can choose the best plan to suit their viewing preferences and budget.
 
I wish I could watch the NBA games on MLK Day without breaking the bank 🤑. I'm thinking of getting FuboTV since it's got a lot of channels and they're doing a free trial 🎉. But, I've heard good things about Peacock too... $10.99 a month is pretty reasonable for ad-supported streaming. And Sling TV is another option, but I don't want to pay extra for sports packages 🤔. Do you think it's worth paying $89.99 a month just to watch one game? 🤷‍♂️
 
omg you guys 🤯 i got the tea on how to catch the nba's tribute to mlk online without cable! apparently the peacock app is offering a super cheap ad-supported plan for just $10.99/month but if u wanna avoid those ads u can upgrade 2 their premium plan for like $20/month 🤑 and honestly fuboTV seems like the way 2 go with all those channels & the free trial is a total win 😎
 
I think it's awesome that the NBA is doing something special for MLK Day 🏀💕. I've been thinking, why do we need cable subscriptions just to watch sports events or TV shows? These streaming services are making it so much more accessible to anyone with a decent internet connection. FuboTV and Hulu + Live TV seem like great options, especially with those free trials 🤔. And at the same time, I get that some people might want the full cable experience with more channels, but for most people, these streaming services should be the way to go 💸.
 
OMG yaaas I'm so hyped about this!!! 🤩 The NBA's tribute to MLK is going to be epic! And I love that there are tons of options for us non-cable folks to catch the games online - Peacock sounds like a great choice, but I'm also super excited about FuboTV and Hulu + Live TV too!! 📺 $10.99/month for Peacock is so reasonable, can't wait to watch those games! 💪
 
I'm not sure why we need 9 games on MLK Day lol 😒. I mean, it's a great way to celebrate Dr King's legacy, but have you seen how long some of these NBA games go on? It feels like they're milking the tribute for all it's worth 🤑. Can't they just have one or two special events and call it a day? And what's with the price tags? $10.99/month just to watch Peacock, that's kinda steep 😒. I'll stick with my free trial on FuboTV, thanks! 📺
 
I mean... who needs cable anyway? 🤷‍♂️ The NBA games are gonna be on Peacock, right? But at $10.99/month that's like, a lot of cash just for sports? I guess it's worth it if you're into that kinda thing, but what about those who don't wanna spend all their money? 🤑 FuboTV is another option, and the free trial is cool, but I'm not sure about all those other channels... 100+ sounds like too much info overload to me 😩. And then there's Hulu + Live TV, which is just like, a lot of money again, lol. But hey, at least it includes NBC, so that's a plus, right? 📺
 
I'm stoked they're making MLK Day games accessible on streaming services 🤩. Peacock is a solid choice since it's pretty affordable ($10.99/month) and you get all the NBA games, including the MLK tribute. But, I gotta say, $89.99/month for Hulu + Live TV feels like way too much money 😂. And Sling TV's Sports Extra package can be kinda pricey 🤑. FuboTV's got a free trial which is awesome though 👍. Either way, it's great that people have options to watch the games online without breaking the bank 💸.
 
Man I'm so stoked they're doing a Tribute to MLK this MLK Day 🙌🏽 it's always amazing to see the NBA get involved with some real heart ❤️, but at the same time, have you seen the prices for all these streaming services? Like, I'm down to pay $10.99/month for Peacock, no problem, but $89.99/month for Hulu + Live TV is a bit steep, you know what I mean? 🤑 And don't even get me started on Sling TV's extra fees... it's like they're trying to nickel and dime us 😒. But hey, as long as we can catch the games without breaking the bank, that's all that matters, right? 🤞

Why pay extra when you can stream it all for $10.99? 😂 [gif of a person jumping up and down with excitement]
FuboTV is like having your own sports party! 🎉 100+ channels and no contract. What's not to love? 🤷‍♂️

the nba's tribute to mlk is gonna be lit 🔥 i'm so down to catch the games on peacock 📺 especially since it's affordable starting at $10.99/month 🤑 fuboTV is a great option too cuz it has over 100 live channels and includes espn 🤩 but honestly, who needs all that when you can just watch the mlk day games on nbc sports network 🏀 i'm totes stoked that more people will get to experience this tribute to a legend like king 👑
 
I feel like most people are going to get stuck on Peacock because it's the easiest one, but honestly, FuboTV is where it's at 🤑. I mean, you're getting over 100 channels for under $60/month? That's a steal! And with that free trial, you can test it out without breaking the bank. Plus, Sling TV is another solid option if you don't want to commit to Peacock. I've heard some people saying they're going to watch on their phone or tablet, but let's be real, who wants to watch a basketball game on a tiny screen? 📱
 
🏀👍 I think it's awesome that the NBA is doing a tribute to MLK on MLK Day! It's such an important day to celebrate the impact of his legacy 🙌. And yay for streaming services making it accessible to everyone, even those without cable 👎. Peacock seems like a great option at $10.99/month, but FuboTV is also looking pretty strong with all those live channels 📺! Who else is excited for these games? 😃
 
🤩 I'm low-key hyped about watching MLK Day games without cable! Peacock's ad-supported plan is super reasonable at $10.99/month and they've got all the games covered 📺. But, tbh, FuboTV's free 7-day trial is a total game-changer for those who wanna test out their service before committing 💸. And can we talk about how cool it is that there are so many affordable options? Sling TV's $33/month plan is fire 🔥!
 
OMG I'm low-key hyped about catching the NBA's MLK tribute games online this year 🏀👍! With so many streaming services offering affordable plans, it's easier than ever to tune in without breaking the bank 💸. I've been eyeing Peacock for a while now - $10.99/month is super reasonable 🤑. And FuboTV has some amazing channels for just $11/month... I'm gonna try out their free trial ASAP 📺!
 
I'm thinking about how weird it is that we need to pay extra just to watch a sports event on TV when MLK's legacy should be free. 🤔 I mean, don't get me wrong, these streaming services are convenient, but shouldn't our society prioritize access over profit? It's like, we're supposed to celebrate the values of equality and unity, but then we gotta shell out cash to watch a game on TV. 😕 And what about people who can't afford those monthly subscription fees or have limited internet? That's just another barrier to accessibility. We should be promoting inclusivity, not making it harder for some folks to participate in events that matter. 📺
 
The NBA's MLK tribute is a great way to promote unity and social awareness 🙌. I think it's awesome that they're making these games available online without cable, especially with services like Peacock offering ad-supported plans for under $11/month. FuboTV seems like a solid choice too, with its 7-day free trial allowing users to test the waters before committing to a subscription 💡. The fact that there are so many options out there means viewers can pick the one that fits their budget and viewing style. I'm just hoping the games are available on-demand or live-streamed on the NBA website itself, would make it even more convenient for those who don't have cable 😊.
 
just great that they're making MLK Day games available online 📺😊 I'm thinking of getting Peacock's ad-supported plan myself, $10.99/month sounds like a pretty good deal 👍 but also wondering if FuboTV's free trial is worth trying out 🤔
 
the nba should stop shoving mlk's legacy down our throats every year lol 🤷‍♂️ i mean i get it, he was a important figure and all, but can't they just let us watch basketball for once? the whole thing feels like a marketing ploy to get people to subscribe to their streaming services. and honestly, who needs cable anyway? we're already drowning in a sea of options 📺👀
