The Detroit Pistons take on the Minnesota Timberwolves in NBA action on Wednesday night. It’s a matchup of teams at the complete opposite ends of the standings, but with young stars on both sides in Anthony Edwards and Jalen Duren, this is still one to watch.
The game starts in one hour, at 7:00 p.m. ET, and will be televised locally on Bally Sports Detroit Extra (Pistons markets) and Bally Sports North (Timberwolves markets), but whether you live in or out of market, you still have lots of different ways you can watch a live stream of the game. Here’s a rundown of all your options.
No matter where you live in the United States, Fubo will get you a live stream of the Pistons vs Timberwolves. For those who live locally, Bally Sports Detroit Extra (in Pistons markets) and Bally Sports North (in Timberwolves markets) are both included in the Fubo “Pro” plan. And if you live somewhere else in the US where the game isn’t be televised, you can include an add-on of NBA League Pass, which lets you watch a live stream of every out-of-market, non-nationally televised game during the regular season. Both the “Pro” plan and any add-ons can be included with a seven-day Fubo free trial.
We already mentioned Fubo, which is your first and easiest option to watch a free live stream of the game. However, if you’ve already used your Fubo free trial, there are still same other ways to stream the game at no initial cost. DirecTV Stream‘s “Choice” package includes both Bally Sports Detroit Extra and Bally Sports North in local markets, while NBA League Pass is available as an add-on, letting you watch the game live from out of market. As is the case with Fubo, you can include any package and any add-on you want with your DirecTV Stream free trial.
While Fubo and DirecTV Stream are full-on cable-replacing streaming services with over 100 live TV channels, you can also go the direction of Bally Sports+ if you’re looking for something a little more basic. This option simply lets you watch a live stream of your local Bally Sports network if you live in market. It also comes with a free seven-day trial.
For out-of-market viewers, NBA League Pass is also available through Amazon Prime Channels. You’ll need a subscription to Amazon Prime to sign up, but you can get a free trial of both Prime and the League Pass Channel.
Most streaming services are location-restricted, meaning if you travel outside of the United States you won’t be able to watch. One way to work around that is through a virtual private network (VPN), which masks your IP address and lets you browse or stream as if you were still at home. NordVPN is our recommendation, and it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, letting you try it out risk-free.

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.
