Will ESPN exposure help boost NBA 2K League?

SALT LAKE CITY — The NBA 2K League is in position to get a big boost of exposure.

In the league’s first two seasons, games could be seen on online-only platforms such as Twitch and YouTube Gaming, but in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, it is now getting picked up by ESPN as the network searches for live programming.

When the league’s season began earlier this month, ESPN announced that games would air on ESPN2 each Tuesday evening through May 19 in addition to Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings on the ESPN app and ESPN.com throughout the season.
