NBA playoffs schedule: Live stream, TV channel, how to watch postseason online, start times, dates

After an exciting and eventful 2021-22 regular season, the NBA playoffs are finally here. Eight first-round series matchups are underway with 16 teams left in the hunt for the 2022 NBA title. Three of the four series in the Western Conference are tied, 2-2, after four games, while the Golden State Warriors have a 3-1 lead over the Denver Nuggets.

The only first-round series that could be a potential sweep? The Boston Celtics vs. the Brooklyn Nets. After a thrilling Game 1 that ended with a buzzer-beater from Jayson Tatum, Boston has opened a 3-0 lead and can end the Nets’ season on Monday night. The 76ers, Bucks and Heat are also all just one win away from reaching the second round.

All available dates and matchups for the 2022 NBA playoff schedule can be found below. Every game on NBATV, ESPN, ESPN2 or ABC can be streamed via fuboTV (Try for free).
