Phoenix Suns extend free over-the-air games through 2030
The Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury have extended their multi-year agreement with Gray Media, ensuring their games remain available for free over-the-air in Arizona through 2030. This extension also includes a new digital streaming option for fans. The team owner advocates for other NBA teams to adopt a similar free TV strategy.
Key Takeaways
- Gray Media will keep Suns, Mercury, and Valley Suns games available over the air in Arizona through 2030.
- The extension adds a digital streaming option for fans, not just broadcast carriage.
- Phoenix Suns owner says other NBA teams should adopt a similar free-TV strategy.
- The agreement covers both the Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury, plus Valley Suns games.
Why It Matters
The immediate effect is simple: Arizona fans keep access to Suns, Mercury, and Valley Suns games without a pay-TV bundle through 2030, now with a digital streaming option alongside broadcast. That makes Gray Media a durable distribution partner for a rare free-TV NBA strategy, rather than a short-term carriage deal. The broader signal is that one NBA ownership group is still publicly defending over-the-air reach as a distribution model. Watch for whether the new digital streaming option is activated across the full game inventory through 2030, since that is the clearest concrete change in the agreement.
