It’s Dame Time again. Watching the Portland Trail Blazers will be much more fun now that Damian Lillard is healthy and ready to play.
Lillard is joined this season by Deni Avdija and Donovan Clingan. Ja Morant is still rehabbing a left elbow injury. The team also has a new coach yet again, as Micah Nori takes over in 2026-2027.
To help you watch the Portland Trail Blazers through this fascinating season, we’ve created this complete guide to their TV schedule and viewing options.

Best TV plans for watching the Portland Trail Blazers
The best part about being a local Trail Blazers fan is that most games are free to watch on TV. That all depends on whether your antenna can pick up Rip City TV Network affiliates in your area. Fortunately, the network’s flagship channel, KUNP, and other KATU affiliates are widely available across Oregon and Washington.
If you want full coverage this season, you’ll still need a way to watch the national games. My top recommendation for a complete TV package is DIRECTV. It’s one of the few live TV streaming services that carries local Rip City TV Network affiliates and key national channels. Just remember, you’ll still need separate subscriptions to Amazon Prime Video and Pecock for their exclusive games.
Of course, out-of-market fans will still need NBA League Pass. DIRECTV’s streaming service no longer offers it as an add-on, but you can still get a standalone subscription online.
Standalone in-market TV package for Blazers games
For fans in Oregon and Washington, BlazerVision is a streaming subscription that carries every Rip City TV Network game. It costs $120 per season and delivers live broadcasts, replays, and behind-the-scenes content directly through the NBA app or NBA.com.
Compatible with iOS, Android, Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, and most smart TVs, BlazerVision is a really straightforward service. But I like it for its clean, team-first approach. It’s ideal for local fans who want full-season access without committing to an expensive live TV service.
How to watch the Trail Blazers for free
There are a few clever ways to follow the Trail Blazers without committing to a full-season TV package. For local broadcasts, Portland games now appear on the Rip City Television Network, accessible with a digital antenna. Last season, the team even gave away 5,000 antennas to help local fans tune in over the air.
That simple antenna can also pick up any nationally televised NBA game airing on your local ABC and NBC stations. And thanks to the league’s new media deal, there’ll be plenty of games on both channels.
Additionally, you can take advantage of free trials from streaming services like DIRECTV and Fubo. Both services let you catch nationally televised games for around five days before billing kicks in.
How to watch the Portland Trail Blazers FAQ
What channel is Rip City Television Network?
Rip City Television is an affiliate network of over-the-air channels available in Oregon and Washington. It carries the majority of Blazers regular-season games not picked up by national outlets. Fans can tune in for free with a digital antenna or watch through select live TV services.
How often will the Trail Blazers be on national TV?
Portland doesn't draw as many national games as larger markets. During the 2026-2027 season, at least 15 Trail Blazers games will air nationally across Amazon Prime Video, NBA TV, NBC, and Peacock Premium.
How can I watch out-of-market Blazers games?
NBA League Pass remains the top choice for out-of-market fans. It covers Blazers games not shown on national TV, with replays available when blackout rules block live broadcasts. Combined with Amazon Prime Video and Peacock for exclusive nights, League Pass offers the most complete viewing experience.
