FIBA global partner Smart Communications Inc. (Smart) is offering free access to every FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 game on the Smart LiveStream App on August 25-September 10, 2023. Downloadable on the App Store and Google Play Store with no monthly subscription required, the Smart LiveStream App will enable Smart subscribers to enjoy a full homecourt advantage to watch all the excitement and drama of this prestigious spectacle anytime and anywhere.
To watch all 92 games from the group stages in Manila, Okinawa and Jakarta to the Final Stage at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, Smart subscribers simply have to connect to a Smart mobile data, TNT or PLDT WiFi while using the Smart LiveStream App. The Smart LiveStream App is best enjoyed with Gilas Power 399 which comes with 48 GB for all sites and apps and up to 30 GB access to FIBA Basketball World Cup games on the app. “Now is the best time for Filipino basketball fans to be a Smart subscriber,” said PLDT and Smart President and CEO and FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 local organizing committee chairman Alfredo S. Panlilio. “With Smart, we are empowering our basketball-loving nation to make the most of our country’s historic hosting of the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup. Enjoy virtual front-row seats, as if you are there, to the world’s biggest stage in basketball by downloading the Smart Livestream app,” Panlilio added.
Subscribers and fans can witness and rally behind Gilas Pilipinas national men's basketball team bannered by Utah Jazz’s Jordan Clarkson as well as Team USA and other basketball superstars as they battle it out for global basketball supremacy. As Clarkson and Slovenia’s Luka Doncic said on their recent commercial released by FIBA, “Once you put on your country’s flag-bearing jersey … nothing else matters.” Watching the FIBA games on the Smart LiveStream app is part of Smart’s efforts to bring the best basketball experiences to subscribers, powered by the Philippines’ fastest and best mobile network as cited by global network analytics firm Ookla for three consecutive reporting periods – in Q1-Q2 2022, Q3-Q4 2022, and Q1-Q2 2023.
Smart also teamed up with its technology partners Huawei and Ericsson to expand and permanently optimize its LTE and 5G mobile network coverage across all three venues of the FIBA Basketball World Cup including the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City, and the Philippine Arena in Bulacan. Smart subscribers trooping to the venues can expect a world-class mobile experience not just during the much-anticipated games but also in the biggest concerts and events post-tournament.
