The Cleveland Cavaliers play in the National Basketball Association. NBA broadcasts split between national windows on ESPN, ABC, NBC, Peacock, and Amazon Prime Video — and regional sports networks for in-market games. NBA League Pass streams every out-of-market game live or on demand.
Reporting has local Cleveland Cavaliers games on DAZN across Cleveland and Northeast Ohio for 2026-27. No confirmation from the club itself was published where we could check it, so treat that as likely rather than settled.
What is settled: the national windows on ESPN, ABC, NBC and Prime Video, which Fubo carries.

NBA broadcasts split between national networks and regional sports networks. National windows air on ESPN, ABC, NBC, Peacock, and Amazon Prime Video — open to anyone with the right cable package or live-TV streamer. In-market Cleveland Cavaliers games are expected on DAZN across Cleveland and Northeast Ohio, on reporting rather than a confirmation from the club.
Out-of-market fans rely on NBA League Pass, which streams every regular-season game live and on demand (with limited blackouts on national windows and in-market local games). The provider filters above will surface every upcoming Cleveland Cavaliers game available on your current subscriptions before you decide whether League Pass is worth adding.
The exact channel for today's the Cleveland Cavaliers game is shown on the live game card above, pulled from the official NBA schedule. Cleveland Cavaliers broadcasts air across ESPN, ABC, NBC, Peacock, and Amazon Prime Video. In-market games are reported to be on DAZN in Cleveland and Northeast Ohio, unconfirmed by the club.
Today's the Cleveland Cavaliers start time is shown on the game card above in your local time zone, synced live with the NBA schedule. If the Cleveland Cavaliers are off today, the next scheduled game is shown instead.
Use the provider filters above to mark the streaming services and cable packages you already pay for — the schedule then highlights every upcoming Cleveland Cavaliers game you can watch on your current plan. For games outside your local market, NBA League Pass (every out-of-market regular-season game) fills the gap.
No. Live-TV streaming services like Fubo, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling, and DirecTV Stream carry most of the channels that broadcast Cleveland Cavaliers games. The local games are the exception — DAZN is sold direct and is not part of any live-TV package. The provider filters above will show which upcoming Cleveland Cavaliers games are available on your current streaming setup.
The Cleveland Cavaliers open the 2026-27 regular season on Thu, Oct 22 at 7:00 PM ET, at the Philadelphia 76ers, airing on ESPN. The full schedule, with the TV network for every game the league has assigned one to, is on this page.
Reported but not confirmed. DAZN is where reporting points for Cleveland and Northeast Ohio, and no club confirmation has been published that we could verify — so treat it as likely rather than settled. The national windows on ESPN, ABC, NBC and Prime Video are settled.
