The San Antonio Spurs have officially announced their partnership with DAZN, a leading sports streaming service, to broadcast their games for the upcoming 2026-27 NBA season. This collaboration was revealed on Wednesday and marks a significant step in how fans in the San Antonio area will experience Spurs basketball.
As part of this agreement, DAZN will serve as the exclusive local media rights partner for the Spurs, providing fans access to all regular season games that are not designated for national broadcasts, along with preseason games and team-produced content. This move positions the Spurs as the fourth NBA team to join DAZN, following the Cleveland Cavaliers, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Indiana Pacers, as reported by Sports Business Journal.
DAZN's website states, "DAZN is partnering with the San Antonio Spurs as the exclusive local media rights partner for the 2026-27 season." This partnership reflects the growing trend of streaming services entering the sports broadcasting landscape, alongside established platforms like Peacock and Amazon Prime. The shift towards streaming is becoming increasingly prevalent as fans seek more flexible viewing options.
Frank Miceli, the chief commercial officer at Spurs Sports & Entertainment, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, highlighting its potential to enhance fan engagement. He stated that this collaboration will provide expanded access to Spurs basketball and create new avenues for fans to connect with the team.
For fans within the San Antonio broadcast area, the streaming service will be available in the coming weeks, allowing them to enjoy Spurs content through various formats. However, fans located outside the region will still need to rely on NBA League Pass to catch all the action involving the Spurs.
To incentivize fan engagement, the Spurs are offering an exclusive subscription discount for members of the Official Spurs Fan Club who sign up by September 9. All fans will also have the opportunity to access a free seven-day trial before committing to a subscription, which can be purchased as a standalone service or as an add-on for existing DAZN subscribers.
DAZN will provide various subscription options, including a monthly pass priced at $19.99 and a season pass available for $119.99. For those looking for enhanced features, the Ultimate Tier will allow users to switch between different camera angles and feeds, along with a one-time 25% discount code for the Spurs Fan Shop. The Monthly Pass Ultimate is set at $24.99, while the Season Pass Ultimate will cost $139.99. Additionally, season ticket holders will benefit from a 20% discount on Season Pass subscriptions, making it more affordable for dedicated fans.
This partnership between the Spurs and DAZN represents a significant evolution in how NBA teams engage with their fan base, reflecting broader trends in sports media consumption. As the 2026-27 season approaches, Spurs fans can look forward to a more accessible and interactive way to follow their team.
