The Minnesota Timberwolves retooled this offseason, trading for LaMelo Ball and signing Jonathan Kuminga while giving up Julius Randle and super sixth man Naz Reid. All that means it’ll be tons of fun to watch the Timberwolves in 2026-2027.
Anthony Edwards will be at the center of it all for a T-Wolves team that stalled out in the conference semifinals last season after making the conference finals two straight years prior. Coach Chris Finch will try to get Minnesota over the hump in a tough West.

Best TV plans for watching the Minnesota Timberwolves
Finding the right TV plan to watch the Timberwolves got much easier with the DAZN partnership. Aside from that service, fans will need two more streamers and some sort of TV plan in order to watch all 82 games.
DIRECTV is a great service that includes all the national channels you’ll need to watch the Timberwolves, including ABC, NBC, ESPN, and NBA TV.
Some games will only stream on Amazon Prime Video and Peacock Premium. For that reason, you’ll want to keep an eye on the schedule to know when you’ll need one of those subscriptions. But if you’re an out-of-market fan cheering from afar, NBA League Pass is key to watching every Wolves game not picked up locally or nationally.
Standalone in-market TV package for Wolves games
Subscribing to Timberwolves basketball through DAZN will cost fans at least $19.99 per month or $119.99 per season. There is a higher subscription tier that offers a multiview feature and more streams. The standard tier is the same price fans were paying for a FanDuel Sports Network streaming subscription.
Aside from live and on-demand Timberwolves games and content, DAZN features many free broadcasts of sports like soccer, racing, boxing, and more.
How to watch the Minnesota Timberwolves for free
DAZN offers a seven-day free trial and will also feature 15 Timberwolves games for free throughout the season.
Games on ABC and NBC are available for free through a digital antenna, along with the 15 games mentioned earlier, but those are yet to be announced. You’ll just want to use the FCC’s Reception Map Tool or Antenna Direct’s TV Transmitter Locator to verify which channels are available in your area.
Free trials from services like DIRECTV, Fubo, and YouTube TV give you access to nationally televised games for a limited time.
