NBA 2K League signs Chinese broadcast deal with Tencent

NBA 2K League announced a new partnership deal with Chinese internet and entertainment giant, Tencent. The deal will see league games streamed in China for the first time ever. 

This makes Tencent the league's first distribution partner in China, providing post-season and finals games of the 2019 season to the Chinese populace. Playoffs for the season are scheduled to begin on Wednesday. 

Tencent already has a similar deal with the NBA to broadcast live games and related content. With 21 million people in China tuning in for Game 6 of the 2019 NBA Finals through their broadcast, NBA 2k League's partnership will put matches in front of the right eyes.
