How to watch the Denver Nuggets on DISH (Featured partner)
Dish Network gives Nuggets fans a streaming alternative to consider. Dish has three packages available, starting from as low as $84.99 per month. Each package includes free installation, 2,000 hours of DVR and a two-year price lock guarantee.
Moreover, even Dish’s base package comes with more than 180 channels. For Nuggets fans, you have access to TNT, ESPN, ABC and NBA TV. Unfortunately, the service doesn’t offer Altitude Sports, so you’ll miss the few games airing on there. Still, if you want a service for the long term where you don’t have to worry about price hikes, DISH offers you a way to budget while watching many of the Nuggets games.
How to watch the Denver Nuggets on DIRECTV STREAM
DIRECTV STREAM is the only live TV streaming service that will feature every Nuggets tip-off during the 2023-24 season. To watch all 82 games, you’ll need a subscription to the Choice plan, which features not only ABC, ESPN, TNT and NBA TV but also Altitude Sports in the Denver market.
If you want plenty of Nuggets coverage, tons of other live sports, and a wide range of entertainment in one place, DIRECTV STREAM is a good choice. All plans include unlimited cloud DVR storage and simultaneous streams at home. If you don’t live in the Denver market, you can still keep up with the Nuggets by adding NBA League Pass to your plan for an additional monthly fee.
How to watch the Denver Nuggets on Fubo
If DIRECTV STREAM is a little too pricey or doesn’t have quite enough sports coverage to suit your needs, Fubo is worth a look. This is the only other live TV streaming service to feature regional sports networks (RSNs) like Altitude Sports. Although it doesn’t offer TNT, it does feature more than 30 sports channels in its basic Pro plan.
The Pro package includes ABC, ESPN and Altitude Sports, but you’ll have to upgrade to get NBA TV thrown in. Note that you'll also have to pay a regional sports fee, if an RSN is available in your area. All plans include 1,000 hours of cloud DVR storage, so you can easily record games you have to miss. If you live outside the Denver area, Fubo also offers NBA League Pass as an add-on, so you can still watch every Nuggets game that’s not airing on TNT.
How to watch the Denver Nuggets on Hulu + Live TV
Hulu + Live TV doesn’t offer many RSNs, and Denver fans will be disappointed not to find Altitude Sports here. However, that doesn’t mean they should skip over this excellent all-in-one streaming service. You’ll still be able to watch all the Nuggets games this season, plus a whole lot more.
Hulu + Live TV offers not only 95-plus live TV channels but also full access to ESPN Plus, Disney Plus, and the complete on-demand Hulu library. That’s a lot of live sports and entertainment, along with an unmatched library of top-notch on-demand content. If you want the best of live TV and on-demand streaming, it’s tough to find a better option. Hulu + Live TV also includes unlimited cloud DVR storage so you can record your favorite teams and programs.
How to watch the Denver Nuggets on Sling TV
Sling TV is a budget-friendly sports streaming service that offers much more customizable coverage than its competitors, and many Nuggets fans may enjoy its pared-down options. The service offers some of the most popular channels with a range of add-ons to tweak your plan, plus 50 hours of cloud DVR storage.
It’s possible to put together a fairly affordable plan for watching nearly every Nuggets game here. For instance, a subscription to Sling Orange includes ESPN and TNT, where the majority of national Nuggets broadcasts will be this season. Sling Orange & Blue would add ABC in some markets, but local channels aren’t available in Denver.
How to watch the Denver Nuggets on YouTube TV
Feeling overwhelmed by all the different package options and upgrade choices? YouTube TV offers a more straightforward approach, with a base plan that features more than 110 of the most popular sports, news and entertainment channels. There are no RSNs here, so you won’t be able to get Altitude Sports, but you may find YouTube TV’s well-rounded channel lineup suits your streaming needs.
The base plan includes ABC, ESPN, TNT and NBA TV, for a comprehensive slate of NBA coverage during the season. It also features unlimited cloud DVR storage so you can catch up on any action you miss. If you do want to explore add-ons, YouTube TV has plenty of ways to expand your sports coverage or add premium channels.
How to watch Denver Nuggets out-of-market games with NBA League Pass
Outside the Denver market, you can’t get Altitude Sports on live TV streaming services. However, you’ve still got a way to stream Nuggets games: NBA League Pass. The league’s full-access streaming service unlocks all out-of-market NBA games that aren’t on national TV.
Pricing for the full-league package starts at $99.99 a season or $14.99 a month, but you can opt for a Nuggets-only package at $89.99 a season. You can purchase NBA League Pass directly from the league or as an add-on through DIRECTV STREAM, Fubo, and YouTube TV, plus other NBA partners such as Amazon and Roku.
