If you are a fan of sports, live events, and virtual reality, you are going to love the news we have today. Oculus has announced that they plan on bringing more live sports to VR than ever. Most of these events are going to be available through NextVR, as Oculus has worked with them to bring their content to the Venues app as well, making it a one-stop destination for all Oculus headset owners.
Throughout this list you are going to find a number of NBA games, some of which will be available through obtaining the NBA League Pass. League Pass is the best way to consume NBA games, as it gives you the ability to watch any game, any time, anywhere. This means that you can watch out-of-market teams even when they aren’t on national television. With that being said, at least once a month, you will be able to watch a League Pass game for free without having the subscription. This is done through the NBA and NextVR working together.
Below you can find the list of games and events that will be shown inside of VR. You are going to find a few soccer games as well.
