The regular season is in the books, and the road to the NBA Finals begins with the high-stakes drama of the SoFi NBA Play-In Tournament. This is where the No. 7 through No. 10 seeds in each conference fight for the final two playoff spots, setting the stage for unforgettable moments and breakout performances.

This year's field is loaded with talent. In the West, the battle features the No. 10 Golden State Warriors, No. 9 Los Angeles Clippers, No. 8 Portland Trail Blazers, and No. 7 Phoenix Suns. Over in the East, watch for the No. 10 Miami Heat, No. 9 Charlotte Hornets, No. 8 Orlando Magic, and No. 7 Philadelphia 76ers to leave everything on the court.

There's a major change for fans tuning in this year. For the first time, the entire NBA Play-In Tournament has moved to streaming, with all games available exclusively on Prime Video. Traditional TV broadcasts will not be carrying the action.

To catch every clutch shot and defensive stop, you'll need a Prime Video subscription. The good news is you can watch the entire tournament for free by taking advantage of Prime Video's 30-day free trial. It's the perfect way to experience the new broadcast home of the Play-In.

If you decide to keep the service after the trial, you have options. A standalone Prime Video subscription starts at $8.99 per month. For the full Amazon Prime experience—including fast shipping, exclusive deals, and all of Prime Video—the cost is $14.99 monthly or $139 annually. An ad-free viewing experience on either plan requires an additional $4.99 monthly upgrade to Prime Video Ultra. Students and young adults (18-24) may also qualify for an extended six-month free trial.

Mark your calendars! The 2026 NBA Play-In Tournament tips off on Tuesday, April 14, and concludes on Friday, April 17. Gear up, settle in, and get ready to stream the intense competition that kicks off the NBA postseason.
