Our goal is to make it as easy for as many Mavs fans to watch Mavs games as possible. Partnering with WFAA Ch.8 and KFAA Ch. 29 allows us to reach over 3.1 million households for free, over-the-air. This is just one of many investments the Mavs plan to make to further engage and respond to our growing fan base.
MFFLs living in the DFW metroplex and surrounding areas will be able to watch the Mavs on WFAA Ch. 8 (15 games) and KFAA Ch. 29 (ALL non-exclusive national games) for FREE over-the-air with the use of a digital tv antenna. For more on how free over-the-air tv works, or to learn how to set up an antenna, visit wfaa.com/mavs.
A minimum of 15 games in the 2024-25 season will air on WFAA Ch. 8, and all regular season games (including the 15 on WFAA) will air on KFAA Ch. 29. WFAA Ch. 8 will also broadcast 5 Mavericks games as part of the exclusive national NBA schedule: Dec. 25 vs. Minnesota, Jan. 25 vs. Boston, Feb. 23 @ Golden State, Mar. 9 vs Phoenix, and Mar. 16 vs. Philadelphia.
The Mavs organization received overwhelmingly positive feedback from fans through social media and emails expressing how easy it was to see the games on WFAA Ch. 8 last season. Because of that feedback, we decided to make the entire season more accessible to fans.
KFAA is a full power UHF (ultra high frequency), high-definition station owned and operated by WFAA parent company TEGNA. As a UHF station KFAA’s signal strength is stronger than WFAA. The Spanish-language content currently airing on Ch. 29 will be relocated to a different channel prior to the start of the Mavericks regular season (Oct. 24), and KFAA will be rebranded as it becomes a locally-programmed independent station. Details on Ch. 29 will be communicated to fans and viewers ahead of the start of the season, including where to watch Ch. 29 by provider.
Newly rebranded TEGNA station KFAA Dallas-Ft. Worth (Ch. 29), which launched new programming on October 20, will broadcast all games not exclusively televised nationally – for free over-the-air. Games airing on KFAA in the Dallas-Ft. Worth market will be available through the following providers: AT&T U-verse TV, Charter Spectrum, DIRECTV, DISH, Frontier Fiber Keller, Fubo, GEUS, Grande Communications, OneSource Communications and Optimum. Games will also be broadcast on TEGNA stations in Abilene (KXVA), Midland-Odessa (KWES), San Angelo (KIDY), Tyler (KYTX) and Waco (KCEN and KAGS).
With over 80 years of Mavs broadcast experience and 40 EMMYs combined, the beloved MavsTV crew includes Mark Followill, Mavericks legends Derek Harper and Devin Harris, Dana Larson, Lesley McCaslin and Jeff “Skin” Wade. In addition to the all-star team, a rotation of guest analysts and Mavs legends will join the desk on a regular basis.
All non-national games will also be broadcast on TEGNA stations in Waco (KCEN and KAGS), Tyler (KYTX), Midland-Odessa (KWES), Abilene (KXVA), El Paso (KDBC), Amarillo (KFDA), Lubbock (KCBD, KMYL, and KLCW), Wichita Falls & Lawton, OK (KJBO), Sherman (KXII), Texarkana & Shreveport, LA (KSHV), Laredo (KXNU, KGNS, and KYLX), Harlingen-Weslaco-Brownsville-McAllen (KGBT), and San Angelo (KIDY). The station websites and local game listings from your distributor will be updated as the season progresses. TEGNA and the Mavericks will also be working with partner broadcast companies to announce additional Texas markets in the coming days.
