How to watch the 2017 European Basketball Championships live streaming

The 2017 European Basketball Championships will start on August 31 and end on September 17. Here's how to follow Italy's games live streaming

While waiting for the October start of the NBA (the U.S. national basketball league), basketball fans can finally get back to watching the first real games of the 2017/2018 season. The 2017 European Basketball Championships, which will be hosted by four different nations for the first time, will officially begin on August 31. Fans who will not be able to go to Turkey, Romania, Finland or Israel will be able to follow the European Basketball Championships live streaming on the online platform SkyGo.

As mentioned earlier, the event will be hosted in four different European countries. In the first phase will clash twenty-four teams divided into four groups of six. Each round will be played in a different country. The final phase, instead, will be played in Istanbul. Italy has been drawn in the group with Israel (which will host the event), Germany, Georgia, Ukraine and Lithuania. An easy group for the Azzurri who should be able to advance to the final phase. Even if the team coached by coach Messina has its problems, mainly linked to the injury to Danilo Gallinari (Italy's most representative player) during the summer friendlies.

It won't be easy for Italy to find the balance, but at least the final phase should be within reach. As usual, the big favorites are Spain of the Gasol brothers and France, who have in their roster several players who play in the National Basketball Association.

The TV rights of the 2017 European Basketball Championships have been purchased by Sky satellite platform, which will broadcast live all the matches of the Azzurri and also the final phase in Istanbul. The tournament will also be able to be seen in live streaming on the online platform SkyGo. Here's how.
