INDIANAPOLIS — Pacers Sports & Entertainment today announced a new partnership with DAZN, the world’s leading sports entertainment platform, making it easier than ever for fans to watch the Indiana Pacers. Beginning this season, DAZN (pronounced Da-Zone) becomes the exclusive streaming home of Pacers basketball, bringing fans live games and exclusive team content, with 22 regular season games and four preseason games available free on the DAZN app.
Through a new team-branded streaming service launching in early September on DAZN, fans throughout the Pacers’ home television territory, including Indiana, Kentucky, Iowa, Illinois and Missouri, will be able to watch every Pacers game live and on demand whether at home or on the go. Fans will have multiple ways to watch all 82 Pacers regular-season games this season. Twenty-two games will be available for free on the DAZN app, with 15 of those 22 games also expected to air on a local over-the-air broadcast partner. In addition, 11 games will be nationally televised through NBA broadcast partners, while all locally available games will be available live and on demand through DAZN.
“This partnership is about making Pacers basketball more accessible than ever before,” said President and CEO of Pacers Sports & Entertainment Mel Raines. “Local sports broadcasting has evolved significantly over the last decade and so has the way people watch games. DAZN is a global leader in sports streaming, and its premium viewing experience gives our fans more flexibility and affordable access to Pacers basketball, while creating more opportunities to connect with the team.”
DAZN subscribers will have access to expanded pregame and postgame coverage, highlights, behind-the-scenes access and original programming throughout the season.
“We are excited to welcome the Indiana Pacers to our growing network of sports coverage in the US. The Pacers have a strong fanbase in a city that loves its teams, and we are ready to support those fans and bring in new ones by providing coverage and content throughout Indiana and the Midwest,” said Shay Segev, CEO of DAZN Group. “As the exclusive regional home for this upcoming season, our built-for-sport platform will make the viewer experience seamless and unforgettable.”
Available in more than 200 markets worldwide, DAZN is the global leader in direct-to-consumer sports entertainment, annually delivering more than 140,000 live sports events as well as innovative viewing experiences through partnerships spanning the NBA, NFL, NHL, college football and basketball, soccer, boxing, MMA, F1, MotoGP, and other major sports leagues, competitions and properties.
