The Cleveland Cavaliers are heading to a new streaming home for the 2026-27 NBA season.
The team announced on Sept. 1 that its games will be available on DAZN, giving fans another way to follow the Cavs when the season tips off this fall. DAZN is a subscription-based streaming service that carries live and on-demand sports, including boxing, MMA and soccer, and now it will also serve as the streaming home for select NBA teams in the 2026-27 season.
Not every game will land there, though. Out of the 82-game regular season, 17 nationally televised games will be excluded from DAZN.
Another 15 games are still being sorted out and are expected to be available free through a to-be-announced over-the-air partner. That leaves at least 50 Cavs games likely to be available only on DAZN.
DAZN is offering a few different ways to subscribe. The Monthly Pass is priced at $19.99 and includes two streams in one location plus downloads. The Monthly Pass Ultimate costs $24.99 and comes with five streams in two locations, along with multiview, downloads, alternate angles and feeds.
For fans who want to lock in the full season, the Season Pass is $119.99 per year and includes two streams in one location plus downloads. The Season Pass Ultimate is $139.99 per year and includes five streams in two locations, along with multiview, downloads, alternate angles and feeds.
DAZN will also carry select Rock Entertainment Sports Network programming for free, including the Cleveland Monsters, Cleveland Charge, high school games and regional college sports.

Cavs Fans Just Got A New Reason To Revisit The Garland Trade
The NBAs punishment of the Clippers for salary cap violations tied to Kawhi Leonard has given the league a jolt, but it also has a ripple effect for Cleveland fans still watching former Cavaliers move through the trade market. Los Angeles was stripped of five first-round picks through the 2034 season, a hit that immediately changes the way the team can think about its future and makes every remaining move feel a little more consequential.
Darius Garland, who was recently acquired by the Clippers, now lands in a far different kind of spotlight as that franchise stares at a rebuilding phase. For Cavaliers fans, it is another reminder that trades do not always end when the transaction is announced, and that Garland could become one of the more interesting assets to track as the Clippers figure out what comes next.

Former Cavs First Rounder Suddenly Has A New Spotlight
Jonathan Kumingas move to Minnesota has already nudged the rest of the market, and the ripple effect is reaching back to a familiar Cavaliers name. With the Timberwolves locking in Kuminga on a two-year deal that includes a player option, the Lakers are back to sorting through alternatives, and Cam Whitmore has quickly become one of the more interesting ones on the board.
Whitmore, a former first-round pick, was recently waived by Cleveland and still brings NBA experience that can appeal to teams looking for upside without a major commitment. If Los Angeles keeps digging, a two-way contract could be part of the conversation, which is why a player who was only briefly in the Cavs orbit may suddenly be drawing a fresh round of attention.

Cavaliers Just Added Another Big Man To A Crucial Roster Battle
The Cavaliers have brought another big man into the mix, signing center Khalifa Diop to a four-year, $9.26 million contract as they continue to shape a crowded frontcourt picture. Diop, whom Cleveland selected with the 39th pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, spent the past three seasons with Saski Baskonia in Spain before making the move to the NBA.
Now wearing No. 18, Diop joins a roster that already features James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, Peyton Watson, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen, giving Cleveland another player to evaluate in a crucial battle for rotation space. For a team trying to sort out its size and depth, his arrival adds another intriguing layer to a summer that already had plenty of moving parts. [Read more 🡒]
