Some of the best national teams in the world are descending on Manila as the basketball-crazy nation of the Philippines hosts the Fiba World Cup again after 45 years.
The World Cup opens on August 25 in three cities in Asia–Manila, Jakarta and Okinawa–starting with the group phase featuring 16 teams playing in several venues in Manila and nearby Bulacan.
Pilipinas Live and Smart LiveStream will be offering fans exclusive access to watch the games of the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup.
Pilipinas Live, Cignal TV’s new OTT streaming platform, will broadcast all 92 games that will be held in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Japan.
Aside from a commercial-free, interactive, and extended game coverage experience, Cignal's app also features Multi-Cam Viewing which allows users to witness the action from various angles, and a Fan Stream Viewing that will provide a unique and distinctive perspective on the games at hand.
Pilipinas Live’s special introductory offer of P99 per month is extended until September 15 to allow all users to enjoy the totality of the games.
Meanwhile, Smart will be offering free World Cup livestream access for its subscribers through its Smart LiveStream app.
From August 25 to September 10, all users will be able to catch all 92 games through the app by simply connecting to a Smart mobile data and TNT or PLDT WiFi.
Fans at the Philippine Arena, Araneta Coliseum, and the MOA Arena will also be enjoying improved connectivity as Smart, in partnership with Huawei and Ericsson, expanded and optimized its LTE and 5G connectivity at the venues.
Both applications are downloadable and accessible on the App Store and Google Play Store.
