The NBA announced on Friday that it has partnered with Amazon to bring League Pass to Prime Video.

Existing League Pass subscribers can now access out-of-market games through all Amazon-connected devices, and existing Prime Video subscribers can now sign up for the service through their account.

The Prime version of League Pass offers a bonus feature that connects games to X-Ray, the Amazon service that offers access to information about videos while you watch. Instead of in-movie cast and character info, League Pass subscribers can now view player profiles and team stats during games. Amazon has also used this technology in its NFL broadcasts of Thursday Night Football this season.

League Pass is also available on the Yahoo Sports app, which provides non-subscribers with eight free credits for single-game purchases and a handful of free preview periods (Dec. 14-20, Jan. 14-20, Feb. 1-3, Feb. 24-25, March 14-16 and April 5-7). You can download the mobile Yahoo Sports app here.

In addition to cable subscriptions and the Yahoo Sports app, League Pass is also available online and through a number of connected devices, including Apple TV, Android TV, PlayStation and Xbox One.
