Fans will be able to watch Donovan Mitchell and the 2018-19 edition of the Utah Jazz in more ways than ever before this season.

This isn’t exactly breaking news, but with Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert at the helm, the Utah Jazz have established themselves as one of the NBA’s legit must-see squads entering the 2018-19 NBA season. In turn, the Jazzland masses will be able to watch their team in more ways than ever before, too.

Ahead of their preseason debut against the Perth Wildcats this weekend, the Jazz have announced their full broadcast schedule for the coming year. As per usual, AT&T SportsNet will be the local TV provider for games, while The Zone Sports Network will continue to be the team’s exclusive home on the radio.

In total, 76 regular season games will air on AT&T SportsNet, as well as three preseason contests. Strangely enough, Saturday night’s Jazz-Wildcats affair won’t be one of them. Nor will Utah’s other bout with an Aussie team, on October 5 against the Adelaide 36ers.

Oct. 2 vs the Toronto Raptors, Oct. 7 at the Portland Trail Blazers and Oct. 11 at the Sacramento Kings will be the exhibition games making airwaves.

Now for the big news — for the first time, fans in the intermountain region will also be able to stream games to their mobile devices and/or home computers.

Provided your TV subscription includes AT&T SportsNet — which is available in Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and parts of Nevada — you can either download the AT&T SportsNet app or go to attsportsnet.com to stream live games. If you’re a cord-cutter, like myself, however, there’s still not a great streaming option for people in the Salt Lake media market.

One day, right?

The Jazz are also slated to make 17 appearances on national TV this season, which is probably the biggest indication of their growing profile league-wide. They’ll have three games on TNT broadcasts, eight on ESPN and six on NBA TV broadcasts, although those games will be blacked out locally (where they’ll air on AT&T SportsNet).

The broadcast teams largely remain intact from recent seasons with a handful of changes. Firstly, on select nights, former Jazzman Thurl Bailey will join Craig Bolerjack on TV broadcasts in Matt Harpring‘s place. Also — Michael Smith, who played college basketball at BYU and spent time with the LA Clippers broadcast team after his playing career, will join the Jazz as part of the team’s pre-game, post-game and halftime shows for select games.
