Bucks Return to Over-the-Air TV for 2026–27 Season

Restoring free local broadcasts statewide, the franchise launches new advertising and streaming initiatives to broaden access.

Overview

  • The Bucks announced on Friday that preseason and full regular-season games will air on MY24 and a network of statewide affiliates, marking the first full-season over-the-air availability in 31 years.
  • Over-the-air coverage begins with the team’s 2026 NBA Summer League games in Las Vegas, including the July 12 matchup against the San Antonio Spurs.
  • Rincon Broadcasting Group will produce the TV broadcasts and Good Karma Brands, through 620 WTMJ, will handle radio rights and lead media and advertising sales for a statewide affiliate network.
  • The team confirmed games will also be carried on most major cable systems and YouTube TV during the regular season, with specific channel and schedule details to be released later.
  • The Bucks said they are developing a direct-to-consumer streaming service to expand access, a move that could change how local fans watch games and how the team sells local advertising.
