Read on and we'll show you how to watch the NBA Finals 2025 live streams without cable and from anywhere with a VPN. 2025 NBA Finals live stream: TV channels and dates Thunder vs Pacers in the 2025 NBA Finals starts on Thursday, June 5. Schedule below. • U.S. — Sling TV (ESPN3/ABC) • Australia — Kayo Sports 7-day free trial • Unblock streams — Try NordVPN 100% risk free If you'd asked NBA fans at the start of the 2024-25 season who would eventually play out the Finals, only the savviest may have predicted a Thunder vs Pacers clash for the championship. That said, this is the second consecutive year that Mark Daigneault's Oklahoma City have taken the number 1 seed through to the Western side of the playoffs, and they'll start as favorites to deliver the franchise's first title since it changed name from the Seattle SuperSonics. History is also at stake for this Pacers team. Not even the great Reggie Miller was able to seal a championship for Indiana, losing their only Finals appearance to the L.A. Lakers in 2000. They'll be looking towards the 6'8" frame of Eastern conference finals MVP Pascal Siakam to lead them to the promised land over the course of this seven-game series. The Finals start this Thursday, June 5 and will continue until we have an overall winner from the seven game format.
