Where to watch the Los Angeles Lakers without cable

Most in-market Los Angeles Lakers games air on Spectrum SportsNet (Southern California, Hawaii and southern Nevada). 2026-27 is the fifteenth straight season Spectrum SportsNet has been the Lakers' regional home.

Fubo does not carry Spectrum SportsNet. Fubo's regional channel list, which is where its own carriage is published, has no Los Angeles Lakers channel on it — so Fubo is the wrong subscription if local games are what you want. It is the right one for the national windows on ESPN, ABC and NBC, and it confirms your local channels by ZIP at signup.
