I recently "cut the cord" and need help about how to watch the C's as I am out of market.  During the season I watch them on the NBA League Pass but that does not work for the playoffs.  I prefer to watch the games "on demand" and NOT "live".   I sub to a few streaming services and I see the C's 1st game in on ABC.  Does ABC show games on demand? 

Ideas? Thoughts?  Thanks for your help.

Hulu ???  maybe ??     ABC and ESPN and Hulu are all owned by Disney.  A lot of ABC shows turn up on Hulu the next day.

Also you could just subscribe to YouTube TV or Sling for the next two months to get normal broadcast channels....

you have options. first is a free app. they have NBA, soccer, etc.  for TV you MUST download the app to your streaming device. I use firestick.

ignore all the stuff about a VPN in the video above, you do not need it for the app to work.

above is directions on how to download the SportzX app on a firestick device.

The game was shown there today.

or you can pay about 50 bucks using bitcoin for 6 months of an IPTV provider that i use where you can watch every local channel and every sports package under the sun. That is where i watch NBCsports boston during the season.  Use the first app and see if you like it. If not then i will provide you with the streamer i mainly use.

if you would like to watch on a PC you can use this website.

is it wrong that I want the ratings for every game on a streaming service to go in the tank during the playoffs?

It should definitely work on League Pass unless you didn't purchase the playoffs? Because my dad has been watching the playoffs on League Pass for the past 5 years, he's outside the Boston area too.

Otherwise because it is fragmented you can watch it on Peacock, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Fubo, or ESPN+, depending on which network is showing which game.
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

I didn't think League Pass would work for the playoffs.  Wow, thanks so much.

And thanks for the Firestick info and the Sportsurge info!  The only issue with that is that's its LIVE.
