How to Watch the Timberwolves
Local games: DAZN
Starting with the 2026-27 season, DAZN holds the Timberwolves' local media rights. DAZN carries 55 of the 82 regular-season games with the NBA producing the broadcasts, and the first 15 games are free to watch before a subscription is required. The DAZN region covers Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota, plus parts of Kansas and Wisconsin. Pregame and postgame shows and highlights are part of the package.
National games: ESPN, ABC, NBC, Peacock, Prime Video
The Wolves have 27 nationally televised games this season. ESPN, ABC, and NBC games are on cable and the usual live-TV streaming services; Peacock and Prime Video games are exclusive to those services. National games are not on DAZN, so check the channel on the schedule below before tip.
Out of market: NBA League Pass
Outside the DAZN region, NBA League Pass carries the locally televised games. National windows are available everywhere through the national partner, and those games are blacked out on League Pass in the U.S.
