The Dallas Mavericks are relying on another provider to broadcast their games this season.
Their games will not be broadcast on Bally Sports Southwest.
As first reported by The Athletic and later by other news outlets, the Mavs are not part of an agreement between the NBA and Diamond Sports Group, which broadcasts the games on Bally’s regional sports networks (including Bally Sports Southwest).
The Diamond Sports Group is currently in insolvency proceedings.
Dallas Mavericks games will not be broadcast on Bally Sports Southwest during the 2024-2025 season, a revelation first reported by The Athletic.
The NBA announced Friday that it had reached an agreement with Diamond Sports Group, which broadcasts games on Bally’s regional sports networks (RSNs) and is currently in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.
The NBA released a statement on the situation:
“We have reached a new agreement with Diamond Sports Group for the 2024-25 season in which Diamond RSNs will broadcast local games of 13 NBA teams. The Dallas Mavericks and New Orleans Pelicans have declined to continue broadcasting their games on Diamond RSNs and will soon announce further details on how to watch the upcoming season’s games in their respective markets. This new agreement is subject to bankruptcy court approval.”
The Mavericks have not commented on their future broadcast plans.
The Dallas Stars broadcast their games on the new streaming platform Victory+. There is speculation that the Mavs could join this platform.
The Mavericks are expected to announce their broadcast plans in the near future. The Mavericks’ regular season begins on October 24 at home against San Antonio. The Mavs play their first preseason game on October 7.
