NextVR has previously pulled in massive funding through big investment rounds, including $30 million and another 80 million, to continue live broadcasting in VR. Earlier this month we reported the startup took a major step forward, going into a full time stream schedule with the NBA. Now we have the full schedule of the virtual reality offerings.

If you signed up for the NBA League Pass VR trial, it has been extended to include the November 1st matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Indiana Pacers. With this development, and the likely evolution of NextVR’s partnership with the NCAA seen in their previous broadcast of the Notre Dame vs Stanford football game, NextVR is well on its way to becoming the leading broadcaster of VR events. NBA League Pass is available for a flat fee of $199.99 or five installments of $44.99. The package includes League Pass VR and all 30 teams will have VR games throughout the year.
