Indiana Pacers secure 15-game broadcast deal with Nexstar and DAZN

Nexstar Media Group and DAZN have reached an agreement to broadcast 15 Indiana Pacers regular-season games for free during the 2026-27 NBA season. The games will be simulcast on Nexstar-owned television stations and streamed via DAZN, providing viewers with over-the-air, cable, and connected device access.

In Indianapolis, the games will air on WTTV (Channel 4) and WXIN (Channel 59). The package also includes WTVW (Channel 7) in Evansville and WCIX (Channel 49) in Champaign, Illinois. Nexstar plans to expand the regional network to include additional stations across Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, and Kentucky.

The first simulcast is scheduled for October 23, featuring a matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. While these 15 games will be available for free, other Pacers games will require a paid DAZN subscription, which will also offer expanded pregame and postgame coverage.
