Mike Raffensperger, FanDuel's chief commercial officer, said: "FanDuel is committed to offering the top sportsbook product on the market and elevating the entertainment experience for fans this NBA season.
"This year, we're leveraging the power of our NBA partnership and our platform to create an ecosystem where fans can bet on pivotal moments in a game in real-time and watch to see the results, elevating their sports betting and entertainment experience."
Peloton, the digital fitness brand, this week also agreed a partnership with the NBA in which the League Pass service will be available to stream across compatible Peloton devices for members.
Meanwhile, the NBA has partnered with Screenreach, the UK-based technology firm, to deliver live games to commercial venues in Malta.
Under a multi-year agreement, the company will broadcast select games from the NBA season live in bars, hotels, and cafés across the country via its cloud-based Screach platform.
The deal is the NBA’s first collaboration of this kind in Europe and begins with the upcoming 2023-24 campaign.
The agreement will enable commercial venues to stream NBA games in HD, both live and on-demand, to their existing TVs with no need for a satellite or cable TV connection.
The new NBA season tips off on October 24 and culminates with the NBA Finals in June 2024.
Screach recently teamed up with BeIN Sports, the international pay-TV giant, to deliver its live content to commercial venues in Australia.
In recent years, the company has partnered with Polish soccer’s Ekstraklasa to provide live coverage across commercial UK venues and with the Amazon Prime Video streaming platform to deliver its domestic coverage of Ligue 1 to premises across that country.
The firm also signed a deal with American football’s NFL in Poland.
