There will be many opportunities to see the Timberwolves on national television this coming season.

The 2024-25 NBA schedule was released Thursday. This season, 25 regular-season games will be televised nationally, including the Oct. 22 season opener at the Los Angeles Lakers, which will be broadcast on TNT. In total, the Timberwolves will have eight games on TNT, eight on ESPN, two on ABC and seven on NBA TV. The Wolves are finally getting their national respect.

Highlights this season include a Christmas Day game against the Dallas Mavericks that will be televised on ABC and ESPN. The start time is set for 1:30 p.m. CT and will be a rematch of this year’s Western Conference finals, a series the Timberwolves lost to the Mavericks in five games.

One week after the season opener against the Lakers, the Timberwolves will play their first return game of the season against the Mavericks on October 29 in Minneapolis. The game will be broadcast on TNT.

Fans in Minneapolis won’t have to wait long to see Nikola Jokic and the 2022-23 champion Denver Nuggets, who will visit Target Center on November 1 in a game broadcast on ESPN.

Other highlights include an ESPN Emirates NBA Cup game against the Los Angeles Clippers on November 29, an ESPN game against Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors on December 6, two nationally televised games against the Oklahoma City Thunder – on NBA TV on December 31 and on TNT on February 13 – and an ABC game against the Nuggets on January 25.

One thing the NBA schedule has shown for sure: The Timberwolves and Anthony Edwards will establish themselves as must-see television prospects after the 2023-24 season, which saw the franchise reach the Western Conference finals for the first time in 20 years.
