The ads in the linear version of NBA League Pass - that is, the version you would get if you were to pay for it through your cable package - are sold by the network, which typically sells national ad inventory, and cable operators like Xfinity, which typically sell local ad inventory.

But most likely you're a hardcore NBA fan if you're reading this and you expect to catch at least 80% of all of the games. (The other games will be on your local channels.) So, get the PREMIUM plan because you won't have to watch commercials! You get to watch from the courtside instead as if you're at the game.

AD-FREE. Make ads a thing of the past. Keep your head in the game at all times with in-arena entertainment instead of commercials.

The NBA League Pass annual subscription will automatically renew on at the start of each season at the full-season price (currently $99.00, though price is subject to change) unless you turn off automatic renewal. To turn off automatic renewal, visit Manage Your Prime Video Channels and cancel your subscription.
