With many Americans self-isolating on account of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, the NBA and NFL have offered hours of entertainment to fans for free.

As revealed on Twitter, the NBA has offered free access to the NBA League Pass while the league is suspended. "Limiting social interactions is a critical way to minimize the spread of this virus, but staying home for long periods of time can be difficult," the league's statement on the move reads. "With the 2019-20 NBA season on hiatus, the NBA and Turner Sports are providing all fans with a free preview of NBA League Pass, the league's premium subscription-based product, until April 22."

The service offers fans access to full-length and condensed replays of all games from the 2019-20 season, and a select number of classic games and other content. The offer can be redeemed on the official NBA site or the NBA App.

The NFL is offering all fans free access to NFL Game Pass.

It’s stocked full of old games, seasons of “Hard Knocks” and “A Football Life” docs.

This is super dope.
