The Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers meet Thursday night for Game 1 of the 2017 NBA Finals.

It’s been a postseason full of blowouts and underwhelming games, but this appears to be the perfect matchup to remedy that. The Warriors have steamrolled through the playoffs with 12 wins in 12 games, while the Cavs had just one slip-up against the Boston Celtics to go with their other two sweeps. These are two absolute juggernauts, and it wouldn’t feel right if anyone else was meeting for the 2016-17 NBA title.

Game 1 is scheduled to start at 9 p.m. ET and will be broadcast nationally on ABC. In most areas you should be able to pick up ABC with a digital antenna, but if you can’t get to a television, all you need is an internet provider to watch a live stream on your computer or streaming device.

Here’s a rundown of how to watch the series opener online:
