How to watch the Minnesota Timberwolves live in 2024
This post was written in partnership with Sling TV.
After narrowly missing securing a spot in the 2023 playoffs, the Minnesota Timberwolves made a comeback this season and are sitting in the Number 3 seed for the 2024 NBA Playoffs.
Led by Head Coach Chris Finch, the team boasts a roster brimming with young talent and seasoned veterans, all geared up to make a real run for the postseason. Don't miss a minute of action. Here's how to keep up with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
What channels are Minnesota Timberwolves games on this season?
The 2023-24 season marks the eighth year in a nine-year agreement between the NBA, Disney and Turner Sports. That means that you’ll once again find NBA games on ABC, ESPN and TNT. And, as before, NBA TV has more than 100 games lined up for the regular season. The remaining games this season are available to watch on Bally Sports North and NBA TV.
Below, you’ll find an overview of where these stations are featured across the major streaming networks.

How to watch the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sling TV (Featured partner)
Looking for a way to catch some Timberwolves games this season without breaking the bank? Sling TV offers an affordable streaming option that allows fans to customize their plan for a more streamlined set of channels. It won’t cover everything, but it may satisfy some fans.
The best option for Wolves fans is a subscription to Sling Orange with the Sports Extra add-on. This plan includes ESPN, TNT and NBA TV, plus 50 hours of cloud DVD storage. You’d need to upgrade to Sling Orange & Blue to add ABC, but that’s not available in the Minneapolis market and isn’t showing any Wolves games in 2023-24.
Unfortunately, no Sling plans include Bally Sports North, but you can consider a subscription to Bally Sports Plus to supplement your Sling plan with regional coverage. A Bally Sports Plus subscription is only $19.99 per month.
How to watch the Minnesota Timberwolves on DIRECTV STREAM
Only one live TV streaming platform will grant you access to all national NBA games and every Wolves matchup this season: DIRECTV STREAM. The Choice plan offers one of the best options for a comprehensive mix of national and regional sports coverage.
The Choice plan is an upgrade over DIRECTV’s basic Entertainment plan, but Wolves fans will find it’s well worth the extra cost. Not only will you get ABC, ESPN, TNT, NBA TV and Bally Sports North, but you’ll also find plenty of extra live sports across stations like ACCN, ESPNU, NFL Network, and SEC Network. All DIRECTV STREAM plans also include unlimited cloud DVR storage, so you can easily record Timberwolves games to watch later.
If you live outside the Wolves TV market, you’ll have to get a little more creative. Without Bally Sports North, you’ll need to add NBA League Pass to your DIRECTV STREAM subscription to ensure you can watch every Wolves game.
How to watch the Minnesota Timberwolves on Fubo
Fubo doesn’t offer complete NBA coverage for the 2023-24 season, but it comes close. For basketball fans, the only station missing from the platform is TNT. Since that network isn’t slated to air any Timberwolves games this year, Minnesota fans don’t have to miss out if they opt for Fubo.
They’ll likely be happy with what else they find here, too. Fubo’s Pro plan offers one of the best sports lineups around. You’ll get much more than ABC, ESPN and Bally Sports North here; the Pro plan is home to staples like ESPN2, FS1, Big Ten Network, NFL Network and beIN Sports, not to mention 1,000 hours of cloud DVR storage.
Note, however, that watching NBA TV will require an upgrade. You can opt for the Elite plan or treat yourself to a Premier plan. Fubo also offers NBA League Pass for an additional monthly fee. If you live outside the Wolves TV market, you can add this extra service to your plan and ensure you never miss a Wolves tip-off.
How to watch the Minnesota Timberwolves on Hulu + Live TV
Hulu + Live TV offers a more limited slate of games for Timberwolves fans. You’ll find nationally televised Wolves games on ABC, ESPN and TNT, but Hulu doesn’t offer NBA TV, Bally Sports North or NBA League Pass as add-on options.
That doesn’t mean Hulu + Live TV isn’t worthy of consideration, even for Wolves fans. Particularly if you want a strong mix of live TV and on-demand entertainment, this platform has a lot to offer. A Hulu + Live TV subscription gets you more than 95 popular TV channels and access to vast on-demand content libraries on Hulu and Disney Plus. You’ll also find a wide range of live sports on ESPN Plus and an unlimited cloud DVR space.
How to watch the Minnesota Timberwolves on YouTube TV
If you’re primarily concerned with catching national Timberwolves broadcasts, YouTube TV offers one of the best all-around packages on the market. Its base plan features over 100 channels, including ABC, ESPN, TNT and NBA TV. The biggest downside is that YouTube TV doesn’t offer regional coverage, so you won’t find Bally Sports North here.
However, if you live outside the Wolves market, YouTube TV offers a way to catch every single match during the 2023-24 season. For $14.99 a month, you can add NBA League Pass. With unlimited DVR built into your plan, you never have to miss a moment.
How to watch Minnesota Timberwolves out-of-market games with NBA League Pass
If you live outside of Minneapolis or the broader Timberwolves viewing area, you may find it a little more difficult to get access to Bally Sports North. However, you can still keep up with your team via NBA League Pass, the NBA’s over-the-top streaming service that unlocks every out-of-market regional broadcast.
You can add this package to your DIRECTV STREAM, Fubo or YouTube TV subscription, as well as some other cable providers or streaming partners like Amazon or Roku. Or, you can subscribe directly to NBA League Pass for $99.99 per season. If you only want to watch Wolves games, the league offers a single-team plan for $89.99 per season.
