Every basket & buzzer-beater experienced live in the NBA

“With OneCourt, being able to feel the ball and track the movement in real time was so helpful. Thank you for making this possible.”

OneCourt & Ticketmaster expanding access in the NBA

During the 2024-25 NBA Season, OneCourt teamed up with Ticketmaster to make our tactile broadcast available to fans across five NBA teams, including the:

Portland Trail Blazers
Phoenix Suns
LA Clippers
Brooklyn Nets

200+ fans across 63 games

Throughout the season, OneCourt devices connected over 200 Blind and Low Vision community members to live NBA action, experiencing the game through touch for the first time.

Fans from across the country—often accompanied by friends and family—enjoyed OneCourt at no additional cost. The simple pickup process at Guest Services allowed everyone to plug in headphones and feel every basket, creating new opportunities to share the excitement of live sports together.

Fan Feedback

OneCourt fan has his arms raised in the air cheering for the game. He is smiling with a OneCourt basketball device on his lap.

"I loved being able to sit close to the court and feel where the ball was. It's normally really hard for me to track where the play is on the court."
- Hank, Portland Trail Blazers Fan

Three fans are seated in the arena with OneCourt devices on their laps. One is an older adult and two are children, all smiling up at the camera with their hands placed on the basketball surface.

“My experience tracking the gameplay was great. My favorite part was all of the new improvements to the device and haptics. My 7 year old was so happy to actually be able to follow the game. She said it was the best!”
- Ashlee, Portland Trail Blazers Fan

"I used to be partially sighted and played in school so when I was feeling the vibration of where the ball was going, I almost felt like either I was playing or watching the game on TV.”
- OneCourt Fan

“I come from a huge sports family and we love going to games together. With OneCourt, I was actually able to be with the crowd and cheer in real time… this device is one of the most advanced devices that exists for people who are blind like me.”
- Phoenix Suns Fan

"It was super exciting, especially watching the game with others and not having to wait for them to explain what was happening. Being able to follow different parts of the game like fouls, shots, and where the ball was brought so much more to the game. I’m hoping other teams will bring OneCourt to their arenas too!”
- Phoenix Suns Fan

"I often lose sight of the ball during the play since the game is so fast. With OneCourt, being able to feel the ball and track the movement in real time was so helpful. Thank you for making this possible.”
- Cai, LA Clippers Fan

“I told my wife afterwards that it was the first time after losing my sight that I was able to actually enjoy a basketball game again. I wish I had the device at home to follow the sport on TV.”
- LA Clippers Fan

“I’m not easily impressed by new assistive technology, but this is a game changer. Closest thing to giving a Blind person a visual experience at a game. I wish other sports and arenas would adopt this technology.”
- Mike, Brooklyn Nets Fan
