How to Watch the Indiana Pacers in 2026–27 Without Cable

Pacers on DAZN is the local streaming route for Indiana’s 2026–27 season inside the team’s authorized territory. DAZN also offers selected free games. Exclusive national broadcasts remain separate, so a local season pass does not provide every Pacers matchup.

Our NBA on Peacock guide explains one national option. Compare the game-by-game schedule before deciding how many services you need; a team’s local platform and its national broadcast partners serve different parts of the season.

DAZN prices checked October 28

DAZN’s official Pacers help page lists a Standard Season Pass at $119.99 and a Standard Monthly Pass at $19.99. Ultimate options are listed at $139.99 per season or $24.99 per month. Confirm the exact tier, renewal and cancellation terms when ordering.

The $59.99 early-bird season offer required signing up by October 15, 2026. That deadline has passed. Do not compare a current subscription using the expired promotional price.

Which games are free?

DAZN says 22 regular-season Pacers games are free with an account. Nexstar separately confirmed 15 free simulcasts on its local stations: WTTV CBS4 and WXIN FOX59 in Indianapolis, WTVW in Evansville and WCIX in Champaign. Check the published game list and the station assigned to that date.

An antenna can receive a local station only where a suitable signal reaches the home. Reception depends on distance, terrain, building and antenna setup; an announcement covering a region does not guarantee indoor reception at every address. Test your station before relying on it for a game.

Paid local games and national exclusives

Check your home ZIP for the local DAZN subscription. The provider’s page describes access to locally broadcast games and related team programming; ABC, ESPN, NBC, Peacock and Prime Video exclusives are excluded. National games can therefore require an additional channel or service.

Do not buy an unrelated general sports subscription merely because it uses the DAZN name. Select the actual Pacers product offered for your account and location, and review the included games. If your existing TV service includes local Pacers coverage, check whether it already meets your needs before paying again.

Watching from outside the home area

Out-of-market fans should check NBA League Pass for the specific game and address, with local and national restrictions still relevant. Moving outside a team’s local territory does not automatically make every game available through one product. Travel access can also differ from buying a subscription as a permanent resident elsewhere.

Build the smallest useful setup

  1. List the Pacers games you most want to watch.
  2. Mark the free DAZN and local-station dates.
  3. Identify remaining local games covered by a paid pass.
  4. Mark exclusive national games separately.
  5. Compare monthly and season costs using current prices and the months you will actually watch.

For related viewing choices, see the Hawks guide if that address is part of your viewing plans. Reliable home internet and a supported app are needed for streaming; open the live feed before tip-off to resolve any sign-in or location checks.
