How to Watch Pacers vs. Celtics Free: Your Guide to Tonight's NBA Live Stream

Don't want to miss tonight's big NBA matchup? You don't have to. Here’s how you can legally stream the Indiana Pacers vs. Boston Celtics game for free, no matter where you are in the world.

A Holiday Showdown: Pacers vs. Celtics

The Indiana Pacers and Boston Celtics face off tonight, Dec. 26, at 7 p.m. ET at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Celtics have been performing exceptionally well this season, even without their star player Jayson Tatum, and they're widely expected to secure a comfortable win.

Streaming the Game for Free with Amazon Prime

The game is available to live stream on Amazon Prime Video, and the key to watching for free is a 30-day trial of Amazon Prime. If you're not already a member, this is a straightforward way to catch the action without spending a dime.

There's one catch: this free live stream is geo-restricted to the UK. But that's a hurdle easily cleared with a VPN.

The VPN 'Key' to Unlocking Global Access

A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, masks your real IP address (your digital location) and connects you to a server in another country. By using a service like ExpressVPN to connect to a UK server, you can access Prime Video's UK library—and the NBA game—from anywhere.

While premium VPNs aren't free, services like ExpressVPN offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. This lets you watch the game and then get a full refund, making it a risk-free option for short-term use. A one-month plan is available for $12.95.
