Brooklyn Nets fans will have a new place to follow the team this season, and it comes with a streaming setup built for people who want to skip cable and watch on their own terms. All Nets games not chosen for exclusive national broadcast will stream regionally on DAZN, the new direct-to-consumer home for YES Network.
That means more than just live games. DAZN will also carry on-demand replays, highlights packages, studio shows, original series and behind-the-scenes content around the Nets.
For fans trying to figure out what this means in practice, DAZN is a sports streaming service pronounced “da-zone” that offers live and on-demand events without a traditional cable subscription. It is available in more than 200 countries and territories and first built its name around combat sports, especially boxing, MMA and pay-per-view fight nights.
In 2026, DAZN added regional streaming rights for a group of NBA teams that includes the Nets, Knicks, Pacers, Timberwolves, Spurs, Cavs, Magic and Wizards. The appeal is simple: no cable package or satellite provider required. Fans can watch through the app on smart TVs, phones, tablets, computers and connected devices.
For New York sports fans, the subscription menu is split between YES Network and the Gotham Bundle, which includes MSG networks programming. DAZN offers monthly and either season-long or annual passes for each package, plus a Nets season pass and day passes for YES.
The YES Annual Pass costs $209.99 per year and includes every locally produced Yankees and Nets game broadcast live and on-demand, along with pregame, halftime and postgame shows and other programming. It also allows streaming on up to three devices in three locations, downloads for on-the-go viewing, and access to other DAZN content for free, including international soccer, boxing and more.
The Nets Season Pass is priced at $119.99 per season and includes every locally produced Nets game broadcast live and on-demand, along with the same pregame, halftime and postgame coverage, three-device streaming in three locations, downloads, and free access to other DAZN content.
There is also a Monthly Flex Pass for $19.99 per month, which includes every locally produced Yankees and Nets game broadcast live and on-demand, plus the same studio coverage, device access, downloads and free additional DAZN content. A Day Pass costs $12.99 and lets fans watch any locally produced Yankees or Nets game live.
The Gotham Bundle, which combines YES and MSG+, is available at $299.99 per year or $34.99 per month. That package includes every locally produced preseason and regular-season Yankees, Knicks, Yankees, Nets, Rangers, Devils, Islanders and Sabres game live and on-demand, along with pregame, halftime and postgame shows, three-device streaming in three locations and downloads for watching on the go.
Signing up starts on the DAZN website or in the app. Users can visit DAZN in a browser or download the app on a preferred device, select their location if prompted, choose a plan, create an account with a name, email address and password, enter payment information, review the order and then start streaming. DAZN accepts several payment methods, which may include credit card, debit card, PayPal or gift code, depending on location and sign-up method.

Nets Already Face An Early Mikel Brown Jr. Development Concern
Mikel Brown Jr. is already dealing with the kind of early camp hurdle that can slow a rookies momentum, as the Nets guard has been limited by a left ankle sprain. He is still around the action in a limited way, taking part in non-contact work while focusing on conditioning, which at least keeps him engaged as Brooklyn sorts through its early evaluation period.
For a team trying to build habits around a new group, every developmental rep matters, and Brown is not the only young player working through something. Nolan Traore is coming back from knee surgery and working to sharpen his jumper and finishing, while the larger rotation picture also includes Michael Porter Jr. entering a contract year and Julius Randle building trust with Jordi Fernandez. For Brown, the next step is simply getting healthy enough to reclaim the practice time he has already started to miss. [Read more 🡒]
Julius Randle Is Already Sending A Big Message About Brooklyn
The Nets are still living in the shadow of a championship drought that stretches back to their move into the NBA, and the sting of watching a city rival celebrate only sharpened that backdrop. Owner Joe Tsai has already made no secret of his frustration over the Knicks title run, which only adds more intrigue to a Brooklyn roster trying to reframe the conversation heading into the season.
Julius Randle is helping push that shift. The newly acquired forward, who comes over from the Knicks, has sounded confident about Brooklyns ability to contend and has praised the intensity he has seen in training camp. For a team looking to reset expectations, Randles belief in what the Nets can become might matter as much as anything else, especially if Brooklyn is going to turn noise from across the bridge into its own momentum.

Michael Porter Jr. Faces A Bigger Nets Test Than Just Scoring
Michael Porter Jr. became extension-eligible with the Nets in July, but there still has not been any conversation about a new deal. For a Brooklyn team deep in a rebuild, that alone makes his season worth watching, because Porter Jr. is not just another scorer on the roster - he is one of the players whose growth could help define where the franchise is headed next.
Porter Jr. has already acknowledged he needs to improve as a winning player and bring more than offense, which lines up with what Sean Marks has been emphasizing from the front office. Consistency, defense, rebounding and leadership all matter here, and how Porter Jr. handles that challenge alongside Julius Randle will go a long way toward telling the Nets whether this pairing can become part of something bigger.
