Apple and Spectrum Launch Immersive Lakers Broadcasts on Vision Pro Starting January 9

Access rules prioritize in‑market live viewing over delayed replays elsewhere.

Overview

  • A six-game slate runs from the January 9 Bucks–Lakers opener through March 30, with dates spanning February 5, February 20, March 5, and March 10.
  • Live viewing is limited to Southern California, Hawaii, and parts of southern Nevada via the Spectrum SportsNet app, with live access also in Japan, Singapore, and South Korea through the NBA app.
  • Canada, China mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan are excluded from the Apple Immersive Lakers offering, though replays and highlights are available in other supported countries where rights permit.
  • In‑market live access requires Apple Vision Pro plus Spectrum Internet or a video package that includes Spectrum SportsNet, while an NBA ID unlocks live or delayed content via the NBA app where available; replays post as early as 24 hours after games, with the first on January 11.
  • The Vision Pro-native production delivers up to 150 Mbps streams with seven angles, 3D game graphics, and ambisonic Spatial Audio, featuring commentary from Mark Rogondino and analyst Danny Green; Vision Pro (M5 or M2) on visionOS 26 or later is required, with hardware starting at $3,499.
