Perform to support NBA service in New Zealand

Digital sports media company Perform has struck a deal with the NBA to launch a new online service dedicated to fans of the North American basketball league in New Zealand.

Under the multi-year agreement, Perform will offer localised NBA video and editorial content, including live online streaming coverage of one NBA regular-season game per week and up to four play-off games per season.

The live coverage will be advertiser-supported and available for free.

The service will be available on Perform’s sports news service, Sportal.

Sportal's New Zealand NBA service will be available for English and Maori speakers.
