The Warriors will represent the Western Conference in the finals for the sixth time since 2015. The Warriors failed to reach the playoffs the last two seasons while dealing with injuries, but now the team is looking to add a new chapter to its modern dynasty. Stephen Curry will have a chance to earn his first Finals MVP award alongside his potential fourth NBA championship. 

The Boston Celtics will play in the NBA Finals for the first time since 2010. Led by 2022 Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart and All-NBA forward Jayson Tatum, the Celtics defeated the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks and swept the Brooklyn Nets on their way to the finals.

You can watch every NBA Finals game on ABC and ESPN3. ABC is included with most cable/satellite providers and it's available for free with a broadcast antenna in many areas.

You can also stream the games online at ABC.com or through the ABC app, but you'll need to log in with a pay-TV provider account.

If you don't have a cable or satellite subscription, you can sign up for a live TV streaming service with ABC or ESPN3 to watch the NBA Finals.

Sling TV Orange ($35 a month) is one of the cheapest options to stream the NBA Finals. While Sling TV doesn't include ABC, Sling's Orange plan will give you access to ESPN3, which will simulcast every game of the 2022 NBA Finals. New members can get their first month for $10 off.
