As they continue their fight to avoid the play-in, the Phoenix Suns travel to San Antonio for a Saturday/Monday back-to-back set against a Spurs team that sits at the bottom of the West standings but can still be plenty dangerous thanks to the presence of phenom Victor Wembanyama.
Both games will start at 8:00 p.m. ET, meaning the first one is just about to start, and they will be televised locally on Arizona’s Family Sports (Suns markets only) and Bally Sports Southwest (Spurs market). But if you don’t have those channels or you live out of market, there are some different ways you can watch a free live stream of both games.
If you live in the Suns market, the game is being televised on Arizona’s Family Sports. This limits your options, as Fubo (“Pro” channel plan) is the only live-TV streaming service that offers this channel. Fortunately, it comes with a seven-day free trial, allowing you to watch today and Monday’s game at no cost.
If you live in the Spurs market, where the game is on Bally Sports Southwest, you have two options. The aforementioned Fubo once again comes in clutch, as it carries all of the Bally Sports networks in their local markets. But if you’ve used up your free trial there, you can also try out DirecTV Stream, which also includes Bally Sports Southwest and comes with five days free.
If you live out of market, you’ll want to acquire NBA League Pass. There a lot of different ways you can do that. Both DirecTV Stream and YouTube TV allow you to include League Pass as an add-on with your free five-day trial, or you can get it by itself through the NBA digital platforms or through Amazon Prime Channels. Both of those options come with a free seven-day trial, but the price for League Pass is down to a very palatable $15 if you want it through the remainder of the season.
None of the aforementioned streaming services will work if you’re outside of the United States. That is, unless you have a virtual private network (VPN) such as NordVPN or one off our list of the best VPN services. It doesn’t come with a free trial, but you can get your money back within 30 days of signing up if you just want to try it out.
Once you’ve signed up for a VPN service, you simply open it up and connect to a digital server that’s located somewhere in the US. This will hide your location and let you access sites like Fubo or NBA League Pass as if you were physically located in the country.
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.
