NBA Playoffs 2025: How to Watch Celtics vs. Knicks Game 6 Tonight

The champs aren't dead yet. After losing Jayson Tatum to a torn Achilles in their game 4 loss to the Knicks, the Celtics found a way to win game 5 on their home court to extend the series and send it back to New York. Game 6 is tonight at Madison Square Garden with the Knicks just one win away from reaching the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in 25 years. A Celtics win tonight, however, would set up a game 7 on Monday in Boston.

The NBA playoffs will be shown across ABC, ESPN and TNT/TruTV. You can watch the games with a cable subscription or a live TV streaming service.

Three of the five major services offer all four channels. Fubo lacks TNT, which shows a big portion of the NBA playoffs, making Fubo a poor choice for hoops fans. You can also watch the TNT/TruTV broadcasts of playoff games with Max.

All the live TV streaming services above allow you to cancel anytime and require a solid internet connection. Looking for more information? Check out our live TV streaming services guide.
