So everyone into NBA probably knows you can get league pass for around half this price with a VPN. I used Brazil last season for around $100AUD for premium (which lets you watch on 2 devices at same time plus get a full play by play replay of each game that condenses down to about 30 mins).

But for those that don't want to use a VPN to signup for whatever reason, the league pass pricing in Australia has significantly reduced (off memory used to be like $400+). At this price, I'd have no issues paying Aus pricing if for whatever reason the VPN method stopped working.

UPDATE: those using VPN last season (myself included) I'm unsure if it will work upcoming season with the new apps. When I sign in it doesn't recognise my subscription (on android phone and amazone fire tv). However not sure if that's just because my subscription hasn't renewed yet or what. Don't think I've had that issue prior years though before season started

      Bloody hell, I shouldnt have cancelled then, FFS

      • Pootie Tang on 28/09/2022 - 13:53

        Email and say it was an error?

      • IdBuyThat4aDollar on 28/09/2022 - 14:11

        reactivate - thats what I did. If the email is correct i should be charged tomorrow

        • czechboi on 28/09/2022 - 15:24

          So, I can access my account on NBA.com using a desktop and I can see in my account next renew is October 18th, 2022 even though I have received an email stating it would renew tomorrow stating

          "Your League Pass subscription for access to the 2022-2023 season will renew on September 29, 2022 without you doing anything. On that date, you will be charged ARS 2,879.99 using the billing information you have on file."

          On my account at NBA.com it says my plan is renewing on October 18th, 2022 for $8,7601 ARS

          Now if I click on League Pass on the desktop site, it is trying to sell me the AUD subscription.

          This is all such a mess and confusing. Will wait and see what happens tomorrow

            @czechboi: I think what happens is - if you cancel your sub and don't renew, you still have access to Oct 18.
            But otherwise they take money for the next season on Sept 29.

            • czechboi on 28/09/2022 - 15:48

              @bohn: I think so as well, just confused on the different pricing

              • sauce2k on 04/10/2022 - 08:07

                @czechboi: how much did you get charged in the end? I forgot to cancel my league pass from last season with Arg but my credit card expired lol..

                • czechboi on 04/10/2022 - 11:32

                  @sauce2k: Got my confirmation email from NBA League Pass about 15 minutes ago confirming my renewal of ARS 2879.99 which was around $31 AUD

                  • sauce2k on 04/10/2022 - 12:10

                    @czechboi: thanks! So confirm I just need vpn to switch to Argentina to sign up? I previously signed with a different country, do I need to create a new email?

  • stealth on 28/09/2022 - 14:09

    So whats the cheapest country for Premium via VPN?

    My auto-renew is next month via South Africa for standard, but I want these primo condensed games I've heard about.

    edit: Actually looks like the "All Possessions" recap is on standard now. Premium just gives you an extra login.

    • bohn on 28/09/2022 - 14:16

      Turkey, then Argentina

      • stealth on 28/09/2022 - 14:48

        Cheers.

        I've just tried that "MIA v PHI G2" stream which people are using to verify their subs.

        Works fine for me, both via browser and the updated NBA App on my android device. This is on active South African sub from last year, set to renew next month. The app doesn't recognize my sub when logging in but all the content streams fine.

        • bohn on 28/09/2022 - 14:48

          yes , same here.
          but try it on the NBA apps on an android tv or FireTV
          for me, NBA TV Live won't work there

          • czechboi on 28/09/2022 - 15:04

            @bohn: Doesnt work for me and I can only get condenses games

            • Shef3000 on 28/09/2022 - 16:30

              @czechboi: The app is really different. Play the condensed game, then you should have a stream switcher option, with all possession, other team commentary etc..

              • czechboi on 28/09/2022 - 16:34

                @Shef3000: Using the above game I get

                Home Condensed
                Away Condensed
                All Possessions
                Spanish
                Portuguese
                Mobile
                10 Minute Condensed and a couple of others is that the same?

      • zammasaurus on 28/09/2022 - 17:24

        Is VPN for Turkey and Argentina only needed for purchase. Can i use the app on nvidia shield with no VPN after purchase?

        • bohn on 28/09/2022 - 17:27

          that's right, although not everything is working perfectly as yet it seems

        • DoesntEvenMatter on 28/09/2022 - 18:25

          Just to sign up. I'm not able to sign up using TK. It's doesn't process the payment just loops.

          • stealth on 28/09/2022 - 20:26

            @DoesntEvenMatter: Same. Just tried to sign up a separate account on Turkish VPN and it stalls on the payment, even though I see $2 being withdrawn and reimbursed on my internet banking (so they are verfiying CC).

            • zammasaurus on 28/09/2022 - 21:01

              @stealth: That may be because the full amount will be withdrawn after the free trial ends

              @czechboi: Ahh right. I actually remember doing the same with mine now that I think about it for NF. Don't think I ever changed the address back, so it should still have a TR one. So you're saying that doesn't work, either?

  • czechboi on 29/09/2022 - 08:34

    Just got an email this morning from League Pass saying my account had been cancelled. This is after I spoke to live chat yesterday telling them not to. This is an absolute mess with different pricing on my account and support doesn't seem to know what they are doing

    • ShouldIBuyIt on 29/09/2022 - 08:36

      Why would you actively ask them not to? Just had to let it renew

      • czechboi on 29/09/2022 - 09:08

        I jumped the gun yesterday and sent a ticket to have them cancel because I was concerned about all the issues that have been floating around about not being able to access it. My own fault. Now trying to get them to reinstate it hopefully for the same price

  • czechboi on 29/09/2022 - 12:41

    *Update,

    Was speaking to two different agents after receiving two emails stating my sub was cancelled. First agent said subscription was cancelled and would end October 18th and they cannot put me back on auto renew and I need to sign up again. Second agent assured me my auto renew was still active and so was my subscription. I guess I will have to wait and see what happens on October 18th.

    • stealth on 29/09/2022 - 16:47

      What a mess. Was looking forward to seeing how much you renewed for today.

      • czechboi on 30/09/2022 - 09:14

        **Update

        Another update, despite all the confusion and misinformation, overnight I have been charged ARS 2,879.99 on my Citi Bank card (around AUD $31)

        I opened the NBA app and went to subscrioptions and am now getting an error that says "Failed to load subscription, please try again later"

        I checked on the desktop version of NBA and I can see my subscription has now changed from an end date of October 18th, 2022 to October 17th, 2023 and that my cost is ARS 8,760.01/yr

        Seems there are still a lot of bugs with these new systems and support did confirm that the price on NBA desktop site is a known bug.

        For all intense and purposes it appears I have renewed for another year for about $30

        • bohn on 30/09/2022 - 12:00

          what did they say about the failed to load subscription in the android app?

          • czechboi on 30/09/2022 - 12:11

            @bohn: I didnt ask them but I have just checked it again now and it is asking me to do the 7 day trial and giving me the AUD pricing

            • bohn on 30/09/2022 - 12:16

              @czechboi: probably need to tell them about the message , if enough people do it they surely have to see there is an issue.

    Noticed comment above they don't take paypal anymore which is my billing method from last year.

    Checking the NBA website under my account and billing there is now a message "There was an error processing your payment. Please update your payment method."
    But next bill date says October 18, 2022 ?

    Cannot see anywhere where I can change payment method as per the error or add a credit card etc?

    Under manage plan, all I can do is cancel.

    How have people handled that one? Email support?

        Please update your billing information to continue your access to NBA League Pass.
        We will attempt to charge the payment method on file again on .

        But billing method still has no way of updating in my account. Surely there must be heaps of people in the same situtation who used Paypal previously?

    my situation as follows…
    signed up previously via Hola VPN as if i was in Argentina. was able to watch without any VPN required (horrah)
    got my auto renewal this year. $30AUD! and was cheering
    logged in on laptop, google TV NBA app and android NBA app but all say i have NO SUBSCRIPTION :(
    BUT when logged in on an iphone my subscription appears and i can cast to my TV (have watched 20mins successfully)

    Has anyone that signed up previously via VPN from another region successfully watched League Pass on a non iOS device? did you have to use a VPN to mock your sign up location?

    • czechboi on 07/10/2022 - 15:29

      Yes, I have watched on both my android phone and google TV even though subscription details do not load. I was told by support that the details you see on the desktop version of league pass are the accurate for the subscription but the pricing is incorrect.
