How to Watch Mavs TV Without Cable

Launched in 2024, MavsTV is the broadcast home of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks. Previously, Mavericks games could be found on Bally Sports Southwest, but the team decided to break away from the old RSN model in favor of free over-the-air broadcasts.

The Mavericks teamed up with TEGNA for free over-the-air broadcasts and created the Dallas Mavericks Broadcast Network. MavsTV will carry over 70 games not exclusively televised nationally directly to fans within the team’s local broadcast footprint in Texas, parts of Arkansas, Louisana New Mexico and Oklahoma, for free over-the-air or stream on the MavsTV app.
