The Golden State Warriors’ two-game Texas road trip concludes tonight with a matchup against Luka Dončić and the Dallas Mavericks, who are in the midst of a three-game winning streak.
Pick a stream in the next hour because tip off is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET. It will be televised locally on WFAA-8 ABC (Mavericks markets) and NBC Sports Bay Area (Warriors markets). But whether you live in or out of market, we have some ways you can watch a free live stream of the game.
There are plenty of different ways you can watch a free live stream of the Warriors vs Mavericks, though your choices will depend on where you live:
If you live in the Warriors market, the game will be televised on NBC Sports Bay Area. You can watch a live stream of that channel via Fubo, YouTube TV or DirecTV Stream, all of which come with a free trial.
If you live in the Mavericks market, the game will be televised on ABC (WFAA-8). That’s also available on Fubo, YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream. Again, all of those offer a free trial when you sign up.
If you live outside of those markets, the game isn’t going to be on TV anywhere. That means you’ll need to watch on NBA League Pass, which gives you every out-of-market, non-nationally-televised game. There are some different ways you can get League Pass, including through the NBA website itself or through Amazon Prime Channels. You’ll get a seven-day free trial with either of them.
The international option of NBA League Pass is a good way to watch the Warriors vs Mavericks–and any other game–if you live permanently outside of the United States. However, if you live in the US and you’re already subscribed to one of the above-named streaming services but you’re just traveling outside the country, you’ll need a virtual private network (VPN) to watch on those services.
We’ve outlined the 18 best VPN services in 2024, and NordVPN tops that list. It’s fast, reliable and compatible with Fubo, DirecTV Stream, YouTube TV and League Pass. There’s no typical free trial, but it does offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can 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.
