Watching the Los Angeles Clippers will have a stain on it for years to come after they were proven to have circumvented the salary cap and were punished severely by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. Since then, Kawhi Leonard was traded back to the Toronto Raptors for Brandon Ingram, Grady Dick, and some picks.
While the future is bleak for the Clippers due to the cap circumvention penalties, the team is still trying to find a way into the Western Conference’s elite. Whether that will transpire is anyone’s guess.
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.

What channels have Los Angeles Clippers games?
Generally, you can watch the Clippers’ 2026-2027 season on local and national channels, as well as various streaming platforms. With FanDuel Sports Network shutting down, the Clippers are in search of a new in-market broadcast partner.
The team resurrected ClipperVision for at least the 2026-2027 season. The streaming service, available through the NBA app, was folded into FanDuel Sports Network last season, so its return is quite an interesting development. KTLA also announced it will air 11 of the team’s games.
For national games, fans will need access to ESPN, NBA TV, NBC, and NBC Sports Network. Select games will stream on Amazon Prime Video and Peacock Premium.
If you’re outside the Clippers’ local market, NBA League Pass is the best option to watch out-of-market games not shown on national TV. As always, blackout restrictions apply, especially when the Clippers face your local NBA team.
Want radio coverage? The Los Angeles Clippers’ flagship radio station is AM 570 KLAC, with Spanish-language coverage airing on 1330 AM KWKW. You can also stream coverage online via the iHeart app, which features Clippers-specific programming and live audio.
