The Boston Celtics, fresh off their 2024 NBA Championship, are gearing up for a title defense with a nearly identical roster and a packed schedule. The season kicks off on Tuesday, October 15th, with a highly anticipated matchup against the New York Knicks on Opening Night.

Fans will have ample opportunities to catch the Celtics in action, as the team boasts a league-high 34 nationally televised games, third only to the Lakers and Warriors. These games will be broadcast on ESPN, TNT, NBA TV, and ABC, offering a national platform to showcase their championship prowess.

For local fans, NBC Sports Boston will be the go-to destination, providing coverage for both local and nationally televised games. Drew Carter takes over play-by-play duties, filling the void left by Hall-of-Fame announcer Mike Gorman.

Several streaming platforms provide access to the majority of Celtics games, including FuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, DirectTV Stream, and Sling TV. NBA League Pass offers out-of-market fans a way to catch games that aren’t nationally televised.

The Celtics are set to make another run at the championship, returning a core roster led by Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Derrick White. With a projected starting lineup that also includes Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, Boston is poised for a successful season.
