Minnesota Timberwolves broadcast accessibility issues for fans

Minnesota Timberwolves fans face significant challenges in accessing local game broadcasts for the 2026-27 NBA season. According to an editorial assessment by Awful Announcing, the team ranked 28th out of 30 NBA teams in broadcast accessibility, trailing only the Indiana Pacers and Cleveland Cavaliers.

The team's local broadcasts have moved to DAZN, offering subscription tiers such as a Standard plan for $119.99 per season or an Ultimate plan for $139.99. While these streaming options provide an alternative to expensive cable bundles, a direct subscription does not guarantee access to every Timberwolves game, as some matchups remain exclusive to national broadcasters like ABC, ESPN, and NBC.

This fragmented distribution requires supporters to navigate multiple platforms and subscription models to follow the team, complicating the viewing experience during a period of high interest following roster additions like LaMelo Ball.
