If you’re a Spurs fan, or just keeping an eye on how NBA viewing is changing, pay attention to DAZN’s latest moves. After announcing deals with teams like the Pacers and Wizards, DAZN looks set to expand its NBA footprint — the Spurs could be next, and their deal might look a lot like Indiana’s.
Earlier this summer, DAZN inked a big streaming deal with several New York teams. Nobody expects it to stop there. According to Yahoo Sports, sources around the NBA and DAZN have hinted at more teams getting on board for the 2026-2027 season, with the Spurs directly mentioned as having something in the works.
The latest example fans should study? Indiana’s partnership. The Pacers will have DAZN as their exclusive streaming outlet for regular-season games through a team-branded service. It’s not just about where you’ll watch, but how much you’ll pay, what you’ll get free, and what local hoops will look like if a Spurs deal lands.
Let’s get into why this matters. Cable is fading for sports, and streaming’s taking its place. DAZN wants to own that spot for the NBA in regional markets. For Spurs supporters, this could completely flip how you catch Victor Wembanyama and crew at home.
Key developments fans need to know
- DAZN’s NBA presence is growing fast, with exclusive deals already live in New York and with the Pacers and Wizards.
- The Pacers’ deal is fully team-branded and will offer regular-season games as streaming exclusives.
- Fans in Indiana get 22 regular season games free on the DAZN app, including 15 that also air over-the-air (OTA).
- Remaining games require a paid subscription — $119.99 per season, with a $59.99 early bird option, or $19.99 per month.
- Pacers’ season ticket holders get a free season pass as part of their benefits.
- These prices and broadcasts are only in the home market. National games are still handled by League Pass.
- Spurs fans are likely to see something structured just like this if the DAZN deal goes through, given the similar market size.
How the Pacers’ DAZN deal could shape a Spurs package
The whole point is to grow viewership while getting local fans used to streaming their team. That’s why DAZN is giving away nearly two dozen games for free and airing many of those on free TV. The paywall only kicks in if you want to see every game. This approach draws in casual fans, creates more buzz, and softens the transition to paid streaming.
If you live in San Antonio, expect the marketing to hit hard if the deal is finalized. Localised service, lots of device options, and aggressive early-bird pricing will be the hook. The $59.99 early offer from Indiana makes it palatable if you grab it before the season starts. Season ticket holders, meanwhile, are taken care of with a free stream — a nice touch that keeps your best customers happy.
Spurs fans will need to remember that this pricing only applies in the home market. If you travel or live out of state, you’ll still rely on League Pass or national games as you always have. But for most, this represents a big shift in how local games are delivered — and what you’ll pay for them.
What’s next for Spurs fans?
Nothing is confirmed yet, but with the next season weeks away, anything DAZN-related for the Spurs will have to move fast. If you’re after local games, it pays to keep an eye out for streaming updates and any official announcements. Based on comparable deals, you’re likely to see a near-clone of the Pacers’ structure — and for many fans, that’s a welcome change from traditional TV blackouts and cable restrictions.
Key takeaways for Spurs fans
- DAZN deals are shaking up NBA local viewing — expect Spurs news soon.
- The Pacers blueprint signals free games and clear pricing, likely for San Antonio too.
- Early sign-up discounts could make streaming much easier on the wallet for loyal fans.
- Season ticket holders should get ready for more perks, including free streaming access.
- Pricing and access only apply if you’re in the official local market — everywhere else, League Pass rules still apply.
- Streaming is set to replace cable for NBA local games much faster than before.
- If the Spurs and DAZN ink the deal, make sure to watch for the early sign-up window.
- This isn’t just about how you watch — it’s about how franchises connect directly with their fanbase in the streaming age.
