Cleveland's basketball team, the Cavaliers, will air five NBA games on Gray Television's WUAB station.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have announced that five of their upcoming games will be simulcast on Rock Entertainment Sports Network, Gray Media, and FanDuel Sports Network, providing fans in Northeast Ohio with more opportunities to watch their favourite team.
The exact dates and times for these simulcast games are yet to be confirmed, but they are expected to be broadcast without any additional cost for the viewers. Fans in Columbus can access the games on channel 17.1 WDEM, while those in Cincinnati can view them on channel 19.3. Fans in Northeast Ohio can also access Rock Entertainment Sports Network on channel 979 on Spectrum and free over-the-air on channel 22.1, as well as on WUAB Channel 43.
The agreement for the distribution of these games involves the NBA's agreement with Main Street Sports Group (formerly Diamond Sports Group), which owns FanDuel Sports Network Ohio. Main Street Sports Group will be broadcasting the upcoming Cavaliers games.
While the specific broadcast schedule for these five simulcast games is not yet available, the NBA Summer League schedules have been released. These schedules indicate that certain game dates and viewing channels will be on NBA TV and ESPN+ during July 2025. For example, on July 12, the Cavaliers will play against the Milwaukee Bucks on NBA TV and ESPN+ at 3:30 p.m. ET. However, it is important to note that these are Summer League games, not necessarily the five simulcast games from Gray Media and partners.
For the most accurate and updated broadcast schedule for the five simulcast games, checking the official Cleveland Cavaliers website, Gray Media press releases, or local TV listings in Northeast Ohio closer to the 2025 NBA season start would be necessary.
David Hughes, WOIO and WUAB vice president and general manager, expressed his excitement about giving more fans the opportunity to watch the Cavs. Mike Conley, Cleveland Cavaliers, Rock Entertainment Group, and Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse executive vice president and chief information officer, is also committed to providing multiple avenues for fans to watch the games.
