How to watch the Dallas Mavericks in 2024

What channels are Dallas Mavericks games on?

Locally, Bally Sports Southwest hosts coverage of the Mavs in the regular season, though not every streaming service has a contract with the regional sports network (RSN). Nationally televised games can be found on ABC, ESPN and TNT throughout the season and post-season. NBA TV offers additional access to games, plus analysis and other related coverage. 

How to watch the Dallas Mavericks on DIRECTV STREAM

DIRECTV STREAM is the most complete live TV streaming service for NBA fans. ABC, ESPN, and TNT are featured in all plans. An upgrade will get you NBA TV and access to regional sports networks like Bally Sports Southwest for local Mavs programming. Best of all, DIRECTV STREAM doesn't charge a regional sports fee. For good measure, you can purchase the NBA League Pass as an add-on.

Sports channels vary depending on your chosen plan, but it will likely include a mix of the MLB Network, NHL Network, CBS Sports Network, ESPNU, ESPNEWS, the Tennis Channel, the SEC Network, Big Ten Network, and several other options.

How to watch the Dallas Mavericks on Fubo

Fubo is one of the best sports streaming services for NBA action. Plans include ABC and ESPN, and an upgrade to higher-tiered plans will add NBA TV. Very few services offer RSNs, but Mavs fans are in luck. Fubo features Bally Sports Southwest for fans located in the Texas region. A regional sports fee will apply depending on the number of RSNs in your area. One glaring omission is no TNT.

Fubo also excels in its DVR offerings, providing subscribers with 1000 hours of storage for recording and later viewing. It also supports a whopping 10 simultaneous streams at home.

How to watch the Dallas Mavericks on Hulu + Live TV

Hulu + Live TV features ABC, ESPN and TNT in each plan. However, it lacks NBA TV and regional sports networks like Bally Sports Southwest, the local home of the Mavs. Subscribers are also limited to two simultaneous streams, which could pose a problem for larger households. But, the unlimited DVR storage makes up for the shortcoming.

However, the few NBA options aren't indicative of the full Hulu + Live TV sports experience. The roster boasts all ESPN channels, NFL Network, MLB Network, NHL Network, Golf Channel, SEC Network, ACC Network, Big Ten Network, and so much more. The inclusion of ESPN Plus with every Hulu Live subscription unlocks the “30 for 30” documentary series and UFC content. You can log into ESPN Plus with your Hulu credentials as soon as you sign up for a plan. 

How to watch the Dallas Mavericks on Sling TV

Sling TV's wallet-friendly plans help you save money while allowing you to tailor plans to suit your viewing needs. The Orange plan's 32 channels include ESPN and TNT, which will allow Mavs fans to enjoy nationally televised games. The Orange & Blue plan also features ESPN and TNT among its 46 channels, in addition to 22 exclusive channels. Depending on your location, you can watch local channels ABC, Fox and NBC. If you’re in an area with local channels, keep in mind that your monthly plan cost will increase by $5. 

You could opt for a Sports Extra add-on to supplement the limited sports selection. The Orange plan's Sports Extra adds 10 channels, including MLB Network, SEC Network, Tennis Channel, NHL Network, Longhorn Network, beIN SPORTS, ESPNEWS, ACC Network (ACCN) and—most importantly—NBA TV. The Orange & Blue plan with a Sports Extra add-on is ideal for comprehensive NBA coverage. Sling TV's 50-hour DVR storage capacity is well below its competitors, but the plan prices are tough to beat.

How to watch the Dallas Mavericks on YouTube TV

YouTube TV only offers one plan, but it comes with over 100 channels. Mavs fans can follow the team on ABC, ESPN, TNT and NBA TV. If you're out of the Texas region, the NBA League Pass add-on is yet another option to catch your team at home or on the road. 

There's a lot more than pro ball in YouTube TV's lineup. The NFL Sunday Ticket add-on is the League's service for out-of-market games. Other sports channels include FS1, FS2, the Tennis Channel and CBS Sports Network. Still want more? The Sports Plus add-on offers 13 more channels, including NFL RedZone from NFL Network, Fox Soccer Plus, beIN SPORTS, Billiard TV, FanDuel TV, Fight Network and Impact Wrestling. Besides the extensive channel offerings, YouTube TV allows six personalized profiles, simultaneous streaming on three devices and unlimited DVR storage.

This seasonal pass lets you watch out-of-market games from almost anywhere in the U.S., as long as the game is not being televised nationally on networks like ABC and TNT. 

Choose between a single team pass, or a whole league pass if you want to make sure you never miss a game.
