How to Watch the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2026-27 Without Cable

Cleveland Cavaliers local games stream on DAZN in 2026–27. DAZN lists standard access at $19.99 monthly or $119.99 for the season, and fifteen games are free with an account. Confirm your ZIP eligibility before subscribing; exclusive national broadcasts remain separate.

See Rock Entertainment Sports Network for the separate over-the-air network question and our NBA on Peacock guide for national coverage.

Games picked for exclusive national broadcast on ABC, ESPN, NBC, Peacock or Prime Video aren't on DAZN. Here's how to cover the whole season as of October 28, 2026.

Cavaliers on DAZN prices

PassListed price
Standard monthly$19.99 per month
Standard season$119.99 per season
Ultimate monthly$24.99 per month
Ultimate season$139.99 per season

Compare the tier’s actual streaming, device and account benefits in the order screen. A season price is not a twelve-month general sports subscription.

DAZN’s official Cavaliers help page lists these current pass prices and local preseason and regular-season access. Its ZIP lookup determines subscription eligibility. Confirm trial availability rather than assuming an opening-season promotion still applies.

Free Cavs games over the air

For antenna viewing, consult the current Cavaliers and local-station game lists for the exact date and station. Do not assume a free DAZN game and every over-the-air listing are interchangeable. Reception depends on your home and antenna; test the station before relying on it.

Cavs on DIRECTV and U-verse

Local Cavaliers games are on DIRECTV channel 660, through both satellite and DIRECTV streaming, and on U-verse TV channel 1734 in HD or 734 in SD. If you already have one of these services, check that your package includes the channel before buying a DAZN pass.

National TV games

The NBA's national partners this season are ESPN and ABC, NBC and Peacock, and Prime Video. Cavs games those partners carry exclusively won't be on DAZN. Peacock streams NBC's games, which our NBA on Peacock guide covers. Prime Video games come with Amazon Prime.

Watching outside the Cavs' territory

Out-of-market fans can use NBA League Pass. Blackouts apply in the Cavs' home territory, so League Pass isn't a substitute for DAZN there.

The cheapest legal setup

Start with the free games you actually want, then compare a paid local pass and the separate national broadcasts. Six monthly payments at $19.99 total $119.94, almost the $119.99 season price; the season option becomes less expensive than seven monthly payments. Check how long your subscription covers, its renewal terms and any existing TV access before deciding.

A supported device and steady internet connection are needed for streaming. Use our streaming speed guide when checking your home setup.
