DETROIT — The Detroit Pistons unveiled the 2026-27 broadcast schedule, featuring 71 games with free, over-the-air broadcasts on The Spot - Grand Rapids 17.
According to the team, all four preseason games will also air on The Spot - Grand Rapids 17. Earlier this year, The E.W. Scripps Company announced that The Spot - Grand Rapids 17 will be the official broadcast station of the Detroit Pistons in partnership with Scripps Sports.
“Scripps Sports and The Spot - Grand Rapids 17 are proud to be the broadcast television partners of one of the NBA's most storied franchises," said Mike Murri, regional general manager, E.W. Scripps Company. "Detroit has an incredible basketball tradition, and we're committed to delivering the high-quality local sports coverage that Pistons fans deserve. This is exactly the kind of meaningful community partnership that drives everything we do at Scripps.”
“For the first time in more than two decades, Pistons fans across Detroit and throughout Michigan will have more ways than ever to watch and listen to Detroit Basketball, including free, over-the-air television and radio, along with streaming,” said Pistons President of Business Operations Melanie Harris. “This is an exciting moment for our organization and, most importantly, for our fans. Together with Scripps Sports, DAZN and Audacy’s 97.1 The Ticket, we’re making it easier for fans across our region to connect with the Pistons, follow the team throughout the season and be part of the energy surrounding Detroit Basketball. We couldn’t be more excited to bring the Pistons closer to more fans, wherever and however they choose to follow us.”
The regular season coverage begins on Oct. 23 and Oct. 25. The games will also feature a half-hour pregame show and half-hour postgame show.
The Spot – Detroit 20 will host a special hour-long pregame show prior to the team’s home opener vs. Boston on October 20 live from Little Caesars Arena.
