Suns Officially Depart Bally Sports

The Phoenix Suns will no longer utilize Bally Sports to broadcast games.

The days of watching the Phoenix Suns on Bally Sports are officially over.

Rather, you can now catch the Suns on AZ Family stations such as 3TV and KPHE Arizona Family Sports after the Suns and Phoenix Mercury inked a deal with Gray Television. 

Owner Mat Ishbia released the following statement:

“I am excited to be able to deliver to our Suns and Mercury fans this industry-shifting partnership with Gray Television. We’ve had an incredible offseason, making a lot of exciting moves to build the championship-caliber Suns team our fans want. Now, this deal gives more than 2.8 million homes across Arizona access to Suns and Mercury games for free.

"I am proud that we are at the forefront of this shift to make the game more accessible, which not only serves our fan base but also helps to build future NBA and WNBA fans.”

According to AZ Family: "The Suns and Mercury will have all non-national exclusive games broadcast between KTVK and KPHE. The Suns will have a minimum of 70 games broadcast, with at least 40 regular-season games on KTVK and the remaining on KPHE. The 2023-24 NBA season is scheduled to begin in October."
