The Philadelphia 76ers three-game road trip comes to a close tonight when they take on the Milwaukee Bucks at Fiserv Forum. These teams met a couple weeks ago in Philly, with the Bucks rolling to a 119-98 victory over the Joel Embiid-less Sixers.
The game is starting very soon, at 8:00 p.m. ET. It will be televised on Bally Sports Wisconsin in the Bucks markets and on NBC Sports Philadelphia in the 76ers markets, but if you don’t have those channels, or you live out of market, there are still some ways you can watch a live stream of the game for free.
If you live in Philadelphia or a surrounding 76ers market, you can watch a live stream of NBC Sports Philadelphia via the Fubo “Pro” channel package or the YouTube TV “Base Plan.” These, of course, mimic cable plans (without the long-term commitment or contracts), so they are somewhat pricey on a monthly basis, but they both offer a free trial if you just want to watch tonight’s game–and Saturday’s game against the Hornets on NBC Sports Philadelphia, and Monday’s game against the Heat on ESPN–without having to pay anything.
Your options are only slightly different if you live in Milwaukee or a surrounding Bucks market. Bally Sports Wisconsin is available via the Fubo “Pro” channel package or the DirecTV Stream “Choice” (or above) package. Both of these come with a free trial.
Finally, if the game is out of your market, you can watch it live on NBA League Pass, which is available–with a free seven-day trial–through either the NBA website or Amazon Prime Channels. You can also include it as an add-on with your free trial of YouTube TV or DirecTV Stream.
If you’re outside the United States, you’ll need a virtual private network (VPN) to access any of the above-mentioned streaming services. There are plenty of good VPN’s to choose from, but NordVPN tops our list of the best VPN services in 2024 due to its combination of reliability, streaming speed and number of different features.
You’ll need to pay when signing up for NordVPN ($13 per month, but that goes down drastically if you prepay for a year or two), but you can also get your money back at any point within 30 days if you decide you don’t want it.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
