How to watch the Maine Celtics in the playoffs

GREENSBORO, N.C. - The Maine Celtics will battle the Greensboro Swarm in the first round of the NBA G League Playoffs presented by Google on Tuesday night in Greensboro.

Tip-off is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. and the game will be broadcast live on Samsung TV Plus. The G League has multiple media partners for the 2026 postseason including ESPNU, ESPNews, Prime Video and the aforementioned Samsung TV Plus.

Samsung TV Plus is a 100% free, ad-supported streaming service built into Samsung Smart TVs (2016 and newer) and Samsung Galaxy devices. The platform is also accessible through the Samsung TV Plus app, available on the Galaxy Store and Google Play for android devices. There is not currently an app for Apple devices and there is not a compatible web browser option.

For those with a Samsung TV, open the Samsung TV Plus application on your smart television and go to the Live TV section. Then, choose Sports and Outdoors. Maine's game against Greensboro, along with other NBA G League playoff games should be televised on the Samsung Television Network, Channel 1004.

This season's playoff format will feature four rounds and 16 total teams, the eight top teams from the Eastern Conference and the eight top teams from the Western Conference. This is a change from previous years, which featured six teams per conference and saw the top two teams from each conference receive a bye into the second round. The NBA G League Playoffs presented by Google will begin on March 31 with three single-elimination rounds before culminating with a best-of-three NBA G League Finals beginning on April 8, which will be played in a one-one-one format.

This is the fourth consecutive season that Maine has qualified for the playoffs. The Celtics have reached the Eastern Conference Finals in back-to-back seasons, and advanced to the NBA G League Finals in 2024.
