Minnesota Timberwolves 2026–27 TV Schedule

Every game, every network — and exactly what it costs to watch.

The Minnesota Timberwolves tip off the 2026–27 season on the road against the Miami Heat on Oct 21. Of their 82 games, 33 are national broadcasts — 11 games on ESPN/ABC, 10 on NBC/Peacock, 6 on Prime Video, and 6 on NBA TV — while the remaining 47 air locally. Local coverage is in flux: the Timberwolves are one of 13 teams left without a regional network after FanDuel Sports Network shut down, with a new local TV home expected before opening night. National games land on ESPN/ABC, NBC/Peacock, and Prime Video in year two of the NBA's new media deals, and out-of-market fans can stream every non-national game with NBA League Pass.
