SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – AT&T SportsNet is changing the way basketball fans can view Utah Jazz games in the state of Utah by opening the contests up for streaming for the first time.
Previously, the only way for fans to watch Jazz games in Utah was via traditional television methods like cable or satellite.
Fans outside of Utah’s TV market have been able to stream Jazz games with an NBA League Pass subscription.
“AT&T SportsNet will be available beginning today (Wed. 7/22) on select packages with AT&T TV and AT&T TV Now,” the company told KSL Sports.
It looks like @UtahJazz fans will finally have a streaming option for Jazz games.

In recent years, “cord-cutting” or switching from traditional TV platforms to streaming services has become very popular. Services like AT&T TV NOW, YouTube TV, Sling, fuboTV, and more have grown in subscribers.
As of 2018, the Jazz were one of four NBA teams that didn’t have games available via a streaming service.
“With the possibility of attending a Utah Jazz game out of the question right now, Jazz fans will rely on TV more than ever to watch their favorite team,” said Lane Mansell, vice president & general manager, AT&T Rocky Mountain Region. “That’s why we’re especially pleased this year to be able to offer AT&T SportsNet to subscribers on all of our video platforms across Utah.”
