The National Basketball Association’s new professional videogame league signed a multiyear broadcast contract with Twitch, the streaming service owned by Amazon.com Inc. 

The NBA 2K League, a joint venture with Take-Two Interactive Software Inc, will live-stream all its video basketball games free through Twitch, the NBA said in a statement Wednesday. That’s as many as 199 games throughout the season, including tournaments, playoffs and the finals. Games will also be free on demand after their conclusion.
