How to watch NBA Finals in the UK: Warriors vs. Celtics schedule, times, channels and more image

The moment we've all been waiting for has arrived.

In defeating the Heat in a thrilling Game 7, the Celtics punched their ticket to the 2022 NBA Finals for a matchup against the Warriors.

It hasn't been an easy path to the Finals for the Celtics. While they swept the Nets in the first round of the playoffs, they went the distance against both the Bucks and Heat. It's been smoother for the Warriors, taking down the Nuggets in five games, the Grizzlies in six games and the Mavericks in five games.

This marks the sixth Finals appearance for the Warriors in the last eight seasons. The Celtics are returning to the Finals for the first time since 2010.

With plenty on the line, here is everything you need to know about how to watch the NBA Finals in the United Kingdom this year.
