Minneapolis/St. Paul (30 July, 2026) — The Minnesota Timberwolves today announced a new local media rights agreement with DAZN (pronounced da-ZONE), naming the global sports entertainment platform as the franchise’s new exclusive home for Timberwolves basketball across its local broadcast territory. Through a new team-branded subscription service launching later this summer, fans can stream Timberwolves games plus access broader team content more directly and conveniently than traditional viewing options. Fifteen games will be available for free this season, underscoring the team’s commitment to reaching more fans.
With DAZN, fans can follow every moment of live Timberwolves action at home or on the go, complemented by original content that brings them closer to the team. The subscription service will be available throughout the entirety of the Timberwolves’ home broadcast territory, which includes full coverage across Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota, with partial coverage extending into Kansas and Wisconsin.
DAZN’s modern, digital-first viewing experience and multi-device capabilities will allow fans to seamlessly access games, programming, and additional content across smart TVs, mobile devices, web browsers, and partner streaming platforms. Production for all local game broadcasts, including pregame and postgame coverage, will be provided by the NBA.
“Our commitment to the best possible fan experience is what drives everything we do,” said Timberwolves & Lynx CEO Matthew Caldwell. “With DAZN, we’re delivering on that promise, bringing Timberwolves basketball directly to fans through a modern streaming experience that expands reach with 15 free games and meets fans wherever they are.”
“The Timberwolves are one of the most exciting young franchises in the NBA, with an incredibly passionate fanbase. We are honored to be their exclusive regional home starting next season and to give fans an easy way to watch the team they love,” said Shay Segev, CEO, DAZN Group. “The NBA is one of the most popular leagues in the world and the Timberwolves are an indelible part. Bringing a team of this calibre onto DAZN is an amazing addition to our growing U.S. sports portfolio. We can’t wait to start serving Timberwolves fans as the team prepares for another incredible season.”
