Where To Watch the 2026 NBA Finals in Austin

It is a thrilling time to be a San Antonio Spurs fan. For the first time since 2014, the team is in the NBA Finals facing the New York Knicks and Austinites are just as excited as our neighbors in the Alamo City.

The Spurs have been playing a couple games at Austin’s Moody Center for the last four seasons, so it feels like we’re part of this, too, OK? Besides, watching Victor “Wemby” Wembanyama alley-oop is enough to make anyone a Spurs fan.

Right now, the Spurs are down 1-2 against the Knicks and Game 4 kicks off tonight at 7:30 p.m.

In Austin, you’ve got lots of ways to watch the remaining games:

Check the NBA’s Website

The NBA has been hosting official watch parties throughout the playoffs and so far in the finals. Updated locations can be found online as the finals continue. Tonight, a watch party at Armadillo Den starts at 6 p.m. and includes giveaways and a free photo booth.

Get Five Free Wings at Pluckers

All Austin locations of Pluckers Wing Bar have been designated as official Spurs Watch Party spots. Fans who show up wearing Spurs merch can get five free wings with the purchase of an adult entree.

Bouldin Acres Is Hosting Watch Parties

Bouldin Acres is offering food and drink specials during its NBA Finals watch parties, which are held at all three of the restaurant’s locations. Attendees get free Jell-O shots when the Spurs win.

The Lucky Duck in South Austin Has Lots of Room

The Lucky Duck on Lynnbrook Drive off Menchaca Road has a big screen for watching the Spurs from the bar’s outdoor area that is covered in turf. You can bring your own fold-up lawn chair, too. The bar’s watch party for tonight starts at 6 p.m.

Get to Chalmers Early

Chalmers has been packed with Spurs fans since the playoffs and the bar even had a Spurs mural put in for the finals. That means you need to show up early if you want to get a good spot to watch the game!
