How to follow the game live

1. Confirm the date and local start time

Open the NBA game page or the Kings’ official 2026–27 schedule and look for Kings at Grizzlies on October 31. The Kings’ schedule displays the Sacramento time, while the NBA game page also shows Eastern Time. Convert from the venue’s time zone, not the time zone of the device you happen to be using. For this game, Memphis is on CDT and Sacramento is on PDT; the corresponding UTC date has already rolled over to November 1.

2. Choose the broadcast available in your area

The NBA schedule lists DAZN-MEM and ESPN 92.9 FM/680 AM for the Memphis feed, and NBC Sports California/Peacock and Kings Radio for the Sacramento feed. Memphis-area viewers can check the team’s Grizzlies on DAZN page for subscription and device details. Sacramento viewers can use the channel or service shown in the Kings’ game listing; the team says live Kings radio is available free in its app and on Kings.com.

If you live outside a team’s local broadcast area, the NBA game page lists League Pass as a viewing option. “Out of market” means the game is outside the local coverage area tied to your viewing location. In the United States, League Pass can black out local-team games and nationally televised games. Before subscribing, use the NBA’s League Pass blackout guide or its ZIP-code checker to confirm whether live video will be available where you are. Radio audio may remain available during a video blackout.

3. Prepare your viewing or listening option before tipoff

Sign in to the chosen app or TV provider ahead of time and confirm that your plan includes the game. If you’ll watch on a television, make sure the app is installed or the correct channel is available. If video is blocked or unavailable, the Grizzlies’ listed ESPN radio stations and Kings Radio provide audio alternatives; Kings Radio is also offered through the team’s app and website. Avoid assuming that a paid League Pass subscription removes every blackout.

4. Use the live game page for score and play-by-play

Keep the NBA game page open if you want a second source for the score. A box score is the game’s running statistics table, including points, rebounds, assists, and fouls. Play-by-play is a time-ordered log of events such as baskets, substitutions, and timeouts. Those tools are useful if you’re listening on radio, watching on a smaller screen, or joining after the game starts. The official October 25 game page also shows how to find a finished game’s result and box score.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Mixing up the day after converting to UTC: Memphis’s Saturday evening tipoff is Sunday at 00:00 UTC. Keep both dates when sharing the time with someone abroad.
  • Assuming every stream carries the same feed: Local rights and blackout rules depend on the viewer’s location. Check the game listing and ZIP-code availability before the game.
  • Trusting an old schedule or search snippet: Use the NBA game page and official team schedule close to tipoff for any time or broadcast updates.
  • Relying on a social post for the official score: Posts can arrive late or omit context. Use the NBA live game page for the current score, box score, and play-by-play.

For the quickest setup, save the NBA game page, confirm the broadcast that applies to your location, and keep a radio or score-page option ready as a backup. That gives you a clear way to follow the Grizzlies–Kings rematch whether you’re watching from Memphis, Sacramento, or elsewhere in the United States.
