The Orlando Magic have lined up their next step in local TV and streaming, and the team says DAZN will be the exclusive direct-to-consumer streaming partner in the region for the 2026-27 NBA season.
That announcement came Thursday morning, after the Magic had already revealed over-the-air broadcast deals across Central, West and North Florida in recent days and weeks. The team’s TV setup now includes WRDQ-TV 27 and WFTV-Channel 9 in Orlando, WMOR-TV in Tampa, WTGB 34.3 in Gainesville, WJHG 7.6 in Panama City and WCTV 6.3 in Tallahassee.
For fans outside those broadcast windows, the streaming path depends on where they live. In the Magic’s local market, all regular-season games except national TV exclusives will stream on DAZN. Fans outside the local market - including those outside Florida - will get those same non-national games through NBA League Pass.
“We are excited to partner with DAZN to serve as our direct-to-consumer streaming partner for live games, replays, pregame and postgame coverage, and original programming,” Magic president of business operations Charlie Freeman said in a statement. “Coupled with the Cox Media Group (WRDQ TV 27, WFTV Channel 9), DAZN will provide Magic fans tremendous access to the team.”
The team said live games, alternate feeds and original content through a new team-branded subscription service will debut on DAZN later this month. That Orlando Magic-focused subscription will be sold as a standalone option and also as an add-on for current DAZN subscribers.
Fans will be able to try the service with a free seven-day trial before choosing a plan. The monthly pass is set at $19.99, while the season pass will cost $119.99, according to the team.
Magic season-ticket holders will get a 20% discount on season pass subscriptions, and the team said more discounts and promotions will roll out during the season.
DAZN will also have season pass ultimate and monthly pass ultimate plans, priced at $139.99 per season and $24.99 per month. Those plans include access to all locally broadcast Magic games, along with a one-time 20% discount to OrlandoMagicShop.com, with restrictions applying. Ultimate subscribers will also get additional concurrent streams and IP addresses per account, plus alternate feeds, camera angles and multi-view during broadcasts, according to the team.
The Magic also laid out their national TV slate, which currently includes eight games: Nov. 16 at Boston on NBCSN, Dec. 14 vs. Philadelphia on NBCSN, March 10 at Miami on ESPN, March 13 at Atlanta on Prime Video, March 22 vs.
Indiana on NBCSN, March 28 vs. New York on ESPN, March 30 vs.
New York on NBC and April 5 vs. Miami on NBCSN.

DAZN, founded in 2016, says it is a global privately owned company with more than 4,000 employees, streaming more than 140,000 live events a year and operating in over 200 markets worldwide.
“DAZN is transforming how fans follow their local teams, and partnering with the Orlando Magic is another important step in that strategy,” DAZN Group CEO Shay Segev said in a statement. “Fans want a modern, simple and reliable way to watch the team they love, and DAZN’s partnership with the Magic delivers an unmatched experience.
“DAZN’s innovative technology platform and the Magic’s strong local presence will create a service that enhances engagement, expands reach, and establishes a new standard for how teams connect with their fan community,” Segev added.

Magic Suddenly Face More Pressure On A Roster Decision They Can't Delay
The NBAs punishment of the Clippers for cap circumvention involving Kawhi Leonard sent a clear message across the league, and it is one the Magic cant ignore as they sort through their own roster business. Los Angeles lost five future first-round picks, absorbed a $30 million fine and saw owner Steve Ballmer and executive Lawrence Frank hit with suspensions, while Leonard was fined $700,000. For teams trying to build sustainably, the ripple effect matters, especially for clubs with young talent and looming decisions on how aggressively to spend.
Orlando is in that group because restricted free agent Anthony Black is part of a summer conversation that cant be put off forever. The Magic have to balance cap flexibility, roster continuity and the cost of keeping a promising young piece in place, and the Clippers punishment is another reminder of how quickly team-building paths can narrow. In a league where the margin for error is thin, those choices only get more important when the rest of the NBA is watching every workaround with fresh suspicion. [Read more 🡒]
Anthony Black Just Made Orlando's Next Roster Decision A Lot Tougher
Anthony Blacks breakout season gave the Magic something every front office wants and rarely gets so cleanly: a young guard whose rise is no longer theoretical. He averaged 15 points per game and showed clear growth as a two-way presence, turning himself from an intriguing piece into a player Orlando has to factor into every long-term conversation.
Orlandos problem is that the better Black looks, the trickier the roster math becomes. The Magic already have salary cap commitments tied up with key players, which could push any extension decision down the road until 2027, even as the team continues to evaluate where Black fits and how central he should be to what comes next. The upcoming season now feels less like a test of whether he belongs and more like a referendum on just how expensive that answer might become. [Read more 🡒]
Magic Doubts Are Growing Around Orlandos Quiet Offseason
The Magics offseason brought more continuity than drama, with Orlando choosing to keep Jonathan Isaac and Jevon Carter while adding Nikola Vucevic, Malaki Branham and JD Davison. It was a quiet approach for a team that also said goodbye to Moe Wagner and Jett Howard, and it left plenty of the core discussion centered less on new faces than on whether the familiar ones can take another step.
Law Murray of The Athletic reflected that uncertainty by nudging Orlando down in his latest power rankings, from No. 14 to No. 16, as the season approaches. The concern is less about talent than about the mix of injury history and inexperience surrounding first-time head coach Sean Sweeney, with Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, Jalen Suggs and Desmond Bane carrying a heavy burden to make the roster look like more than a cautious offseason bet.
