Live Lakers Games Now Available in Apple Immersive Format
January 5, 2026
A selection of Los Angeles Lakers live games will soon be accessible in the groundbreaking Apple Immersive Video format, offering fans a new way to experience NBA action.
Immersive Content for the Apple Vision Pro
Apple has announced that the upcoming NBA season will feature select Lakers games in immersive 3D video on the Apple Vision Pro headset. This technology aims to bring viewers closer to the action, making it feel as if they’re courtside. Apple describes this as an experience that captures perspectives impossible in traditional broadcasts.
Expanding the Immersive Library
The Vision Pro already hosts a variety of immersive content, including a scripted submarine short, a Metallica concert, and an NBA All-Star Weekend film. However, these Lakers games mark the first live sports broadcasts in Apple Immersive Video.
How to Watch
The first Lakers game available in this format is set to debut early next year through the NBA app or Spectrum SportsNet app. The complete schedule of games will be announced later this fall, and viewers will need the latest version of visionOS 26 on their Vision Pro headset to access the content.
Stay tuned for more updates and detailed schedules as Apple continues to expand its immersive content offerings for sports fans.
