Okay, so ever since Ja Morant said he’s “fine in the West,” things have not been fine. You had Dillon Brooks poking the bear and taunting LeBron, which didn’t end well. Ja Morant has been up and down with injuries and legal troubles. And now, the organization has traded Desmond Bane, while rookie Zach Edey might be sidelined to start the season. It’s a classic case of “when it rains, it pours.”
Does anyone remember when the Grizzlies were top-seeded and seemed like the young team to beat in the West? Don’t get me wrong, Ja is still arguably the most exciting player in the league when he’s healthy and dunking on 7’4” superstars (sorry Wemby, we counted that one). But after a tough playoff exit last year, the team needs to make some strides to get back to that elite level.
To help you watch the Memphis Grizzlies on their quest to do just that, I’ve created this complete guide to their TV schedule and viewing options.

What channels have Memphis Grizzlies games?
You can watch most Grizzlies games on FanDuel Sports Network Southeast (FDSSE) if you’re in the team’s Mid-South broadcast territory. But anyone outside that region will need NBA League Pass to watch those games.
Nationally, the Grizzlies won’t get the wall-to-wall coverage they enjoyed during Ja Morant’s peak hype days, but there are still some spotlight moments. Expect ESPN, NBA TV, and ABC to drop in for key matchups, especially against playoff rivals, while NBC’s Sunday Night Basketball package sprinkles in a few showcase games. Don’t forget that you still have Amazon Prime Video and Peacock for exclusive streamed matchups.
Want radio coverage? The official radio home of the Grizzlies is 92.9 FM ESPN Memphis. For nationwide coverage, you can find select games on SiriusXM NBA Radio or get every broadcast with an NBA League Pass Audio subscription.
2025–2026 Memphis Grizzlies TV schedule
This season’s schedule will be a huge test for the new-look Grizzlies. Ja Morant’s availability will decide a lot. If he’s healthy and locked in, Memphis has the kind of backcourt explosiveness that can rival any team in the league. Pair that with Jaren Jackson Jr.’s rim protection and KCP’s veteran shooting, and this core could be dangerous down the stretch.
Expect growing pains, flashes of brilliance, and the occasional night where Ja reminds everyone he’s still one of the league’s most electric talents. Check out the full-season TV schedule below so you know when to tune in.

Best TV plans for watching the Memphis Grizzlies
To catch every Grizzlies game this season, you’ll need to do a little mixing and matching for local, national, and exclusive streaming broadcasts. To make it simple, I’ve broken down my top recommendations for every type of fan.
For those living in Tennessee and the surrounding areas, your top priority is getting FanDuel Sports Network Southeast. My pick for the best all-in-one service is Stream with DIRECTV, as it bundles the RSN with all the national channels like ESPN and ABC. It even offers unlimited DVR storage so you won’t miss a Ja breakaway dunk if you’re busy.
Amazon Prime Video and Peacock cover a solid chunk of nationally streamed games, so you should pair one of those with your main service. And if you’re far from Tennessee, NBA League Pass gets the job done with out-of-market access.
Standalone in-market TV package for Grizzlies games
Grizzlies fans looking for an easy way to stream games without cable can take advantage of the FanDuel Sports Network app. Priced at $19.99 per month or $189.99 annually, it gives you direct access to FanDuel Sports Network Southeast, the home of most local Grizzlies games.
The service offers an immersive experience beyond live broadcasts. You’ll get insider access to exclusive interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, and deep-dive analysis tailored to Memphis basketball. It’s the perfect way to stay connected to the pulse of the Grizzlies all season long.
On top of the Grizzlies coverage, you’ll also get a ton of other live, in-market sports, depending on your exact location.
How to watch the Memphis Grizzlies for free
So, watching basketball isn’t free (unfortunately), but you can definitely catch a handful of games for free. You just need to know how to take advantage of the free trial services offered by certain platforms. DIRECTV, Fubo, and YouTube TV come to mind as a few providers that will give you anywhere from several days to a week to try out their services before you commit.
You can also try out a digital antenna, as more NBA games will be aired on ABC and NBC from now on. Lastly, if you move around a lot, you’ll for sure want to get the NBA app for its highlights and live radio broadcasts.
How to watch the Memphis Grizzlies FAQ
How can I stream Grizzlies games without cable?
The best way to stream Grizzlies games is with a live TV streaming service that carries local and national channels. But you’ll need Amazon Prime Video and Peacock for exclusive matchups. In-market fans can also subscribe directly to the FanDuel Sports Network standalone app.
How can I watch the Grizzlies if I’m out of market?
Fans outside the Grizzlies’ TV market can use NBA League Pass to watch out-of-market FanDuel Sports Network Southeast games. You can even access League Pass through the NBA app for on-the-go streaming coverage.
Who are the Memphis Grizzlies TV announcers?
The Grizzlies’ broadcast booth on FanDuel Sports Network Southeast features play-by-play announcer Pete Pranica. Former point guard Brevin Knight joins Pranica as color commentator.
How tough is the Grizzlies’ 2025–2026 schedule?
It’s no cakewalk. The West is stacked with Denver, OKC, and Minnesota all competing at the top. Memphis faces plenty of national broadcasts against contenders, testing whether its young depth can hang. For fans, that means a mix of marquee nights and gritty midweek matchups worth tuning into.
Do the Grizzlies still play a “Grit and Grind” style of basketball?
Not exactly. The old Zach Randolph–Tony Allen era was built on half-court toughness. Today’s Grizzlies lean on pace, spacing, and Ja Morant’s athleticism. That said, Jaren Jackson Jr.’s rim protection and KCP’s prowess will keep Memphis connected to its defensive identity.
