The Los Angeles Clippers didn’t just tinker this offseason—they reloaded. After a quiet stretch following their 2025 first-round exit, LA made bold moves. The team added Bradley Beal following his buyout from Phoenix, re-signed Chris Paul for his 21st NBA season, and acquired John Collins and Brook Lopez to shore up spacing and rim presence.
You’ve still got Kawhi Leonard and James Harden, but I think the roster is now deeper and more versatile than ever. With Beal’s shooting, Paul’s floor leadership, Collins’ physicality, and Lopez’s veteran savvy, LA has assembled a diverse skillset. These pieces are designed to adjust perfectly to load management and matchup demands.
Now, the real question is whether this upgraded supporting cast can elevate the Clippers past the middle playoff rounds. To help you stay tuned in, here’s your go-to guide for how to watch Los Angeles Clippers basketball this season on TV and streaming.

2025–2026 Los Angeles Clippers TV schedule
The Clippers have something to prove after their seven-game first-round exit to Denver last spring. This season, the story revolves around health and chemistry. If Kawhi Leonard’s availability trends up and the Beal-Harden backcourt continues to click, LA certainly has the pieces to climb the West. Expect a healthy mix of national windows and regional broadcasts as the Clippers try to convert their talent into postseason momentum.

Best TV plans for watching the Los Angeles Clippers
I’m going to cut to the chase. My top pick for any Clippers fan is Stream with DIRECTV. It’s one of the few services that bundles the local FanDuel Sports Network West with all the key national channels like ESPN and NBC. While Fubo is another strong option with a similar lineup, I think DIRECTV’s user experience gives it the edge.
The user experience is another reason I recommend DIRECTV. It comes with unlimited cloud DVR storage and has a solid, sports-focused interface for following your favorite teams. The only downside is that NBA League Pass is no longer available as an add-on for out-of-market coverage. You’ll need to get that separately.
Don’t forget that Amazon Prime Video and Peacock will host exclusive NBA games this season, so you’ll need them as add-ons to follow the Clippers’ entire run. And if you don’t want a full live TV plan, the combination of Prime Video, Peacock, and ESPN Unlimited will get you nearly all of the national coverage.
Standalone in-market TV package for Clippers games
For Clippers fans living in Southern California, the FanDuel Sports Network app (formerly Bally Sports+) is the simplest way to stream local games without a cable subscription. This is the new streaming home for the team, replacing the previously offered ClipperVision service.
A subscription costs $19.99 per month and provides direct access to FanDuel Sports Network West, the Clippers’ regional broadcast partner. The app works across all your favorite devices, including Roku, Apple TV, and Amazon Fire TV, giving you a ton of flexibility.
Overall, the platform is a great hub for in-market fans, focusing on live broadcasts and Clippers-specific coverage. Subscribers also get access to game replays, real-time stats, and exclusive team content throughout the season.
How to watch the Los Angeles Clippers for free
If you’re looking to watch a few Clippers games without spending any money, you’ve got several options.
For in-market fans, the FanDuel Sports Network streaming app offers a seven-day free trial. You can also try streaming services like DIRECTV and Fubo, which typically offer free trial periods of five to seven days and include access to nationally televised Clippers games.
A digital antenna is also a smart move. With the NBA’s expanded broadcast deal putting more games on ABC and NBC, you can pick up several Clippers games over the air at no cost.
How to watch the Los Angeles Clippers FAQ
Do I need cable to watch Clippers games locally?
You don’t need cable to watch local Clippers games on FanDuel Sports Network West, as it’s available through streaming services like DIRECTV and Fubo. You can also get FanDuel Sports Network access through its standalone app or Amazon Prime Video.
Does ClipperVision still exist?
Nope, ClipperVision is no longer available as of the 2025–2026 NBA season. All existing subscriptions were automatically canceled, so fans won't face any further charges.
How do I watch the Clippers if I’m out of market?
Your essential service is NBA League Pass, which covers every game not shown regionally in your area. But you’ll still need access to channels like ABC, ESPN, and NBC for live national broadcasts, which are blacked out on League Pass.
Are the Clippers still on Bally Sports?
Kind of. Bally Sports West became FanDuel Sports Network West in 2024, but it remains the Clippers’ regional broadcast partner. Through the channel, you’ll get in-market game coverage across Southern California, the Las Vegas Valley, and Hawaii.
