What channels have Milwaukee Bucks games?

The vast majority of Bucks games will air on the team’s new home, My24 (WVTV-DT2), which is available in the Milwaukee area. Statewide affiliates will also air Bucks games in the Green Bay, Madison, La Crosse-Eau Claire, Wausau-Rhinelander, and Duluth-Superior markets. Local fans can also stream games with a Bucks+ subscription, available through the NBA app.

If you’re a fan cheering from outside those area, you’ll need an NBA League Pass subscription for out-of-market access.

When the Bucks hit the national stage, you’ll find those games on ESPN and NBA TV. Select matchups will also appear exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. Just keep in mind that these national broadcasts will be blacked out on both My24 and NBA League Pass.

It’s safe to say the team is in rebuild mode, which makes their schedule interesting as they figure out how they measure up night in and night out without Giannis.

Best TV plans for watching the Milwaukee Bucks

If you want one platform that covers most of your bases, DIRECTV is the heavy hitter. It includes My24 alongside national NBA channels like ABC, ESPN, NBA TV, and NBC. It even comes with unlimited DVR, so you won’t miss a moment when life gets in the way. One caveat: It’s on the pricey side.

You’ll also need separate Amazon Prime Video and Peacock Premium subscriptions for their exclusive games.

While the Bucks have very limited national TV games, a DIRECTV plan will allow you to watch NBA games from other teams throughout the season. It’s also great for sports fans in general who love the NFL, MLB, and others.

If you’re outside Wisconsin, NBA League Pass is still the best choice for catching Bucks games that aren’t nationally televised. Just be mindful of blackout restrictions because they haven’t gone anywhere.

How to watch the Milwaukee Bucks for free

Want to watch the Bucks without opening your wallet? We get it. Inflation is sky-high, and we all want to save money. Fortunately, you have two simple options to catch some games on TV for free.

The most reliable way to watch for free is with a digital antenna. My24, ABC, and NBC are all available over the air — no login or subscription needed.

Your other main strategy is to use free live TV streaming trials. If a must-watch game is on a premium network like ESPN, you can often sign up for a short trial with a service like DIRECTV or Fubo. Even Prime Video offers a free trial, making it a smart way to test the waters before diving into a monthly bill.
