Cleveland Cavaliers Games Return to Free Over-the-Air Television on Gray Media Stations

ATLANTA, Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gray Media and the Cleveland Cavaliers today announced a historic partnership with DAZN to broadcast 15 regular season Cavaliers games completely free, over-the-air during the 2026-27 NBA season.   The 15-game package is a simulcast of the games available for free in front of the Cavaliers on DAZN paid subscription paywall offering.

The games will air locally in Cleveland on Gray Media’s stations, WOIO (CBS 19) and WUAB (MyNet 43), and statewide on Rock Entertainment Sports Network, giving fans unprecedented access to one of the NBA’s premier teams.   Rock Entertainment Sports Network is a collaboration between Gray Media and Rock Entertainment Group, which owns the Cleveland Cavaliers, Cleveland Sirens, Cleveland Monsters, and Cleveland Charge.
        
In addition, Gray stations in other markets, including Cincinnati, Ohio; Lima, Ohio; and Parkersburg, West Virginia will also air the 15-game package.   Gray will seek additional third-party broadcasters to air the games in other parts of the territory where Gray does not own or operate television stations.
