SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – The Utah Jazz released their television and radio broadcast schedule ahead of the 2021-22 season.
The news comes as the Jazz are in the final year of their contract with AT&T SportsNet and fans have become increasingly frustrated with the lack of streaming options to watch the team.
Last week it was announced that Dish Network was dropping AT&T SportsNet from their channel lineup, further limiting fans’ options to find the games.

In total, AT&T SportsNet will air 77 regular-season games, beginning with the home opener on October 20 at Vivint Arena against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The sports network will also carry two preseason games on Oct. 6 at Dallas and Oct. 11 vs. New Orleans.
Fans wanting to stream the games can do so via AT&T SportsNet on DIRECTV Stream from their phones, tablets, or TVs. Fans can visit https://rockymountain-attsn.att.com/channel-finder/ to find a list of television providers in addition to streaming via DIRECTV Stream.
“The availability of streaming choices and digital consumption remains a top priority for our organization,” Jazz president Jim Olson said in a release. “We respect all the different ways that fans want to watch and enjoy Jazz games. Today’s broadcast model is about access and connectivity. It is a process as we work with existing contracts, current partners and third-party providers to find the best delivery method for our fan base.”
In addition to 77 games broadcast on AT&T SportsNet, the Jazz will play 26 games on national TV.
