The Orlando Magic are having their best campaign in over a decade. Behind surging seasons from Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner and under the guidance of head coach Jamahl Mosley, the Magic are playing to win in the 2024 NBA Playoffs

What channels are Orlando Magic games on this season?

Bally Sports Florida will carry most of the Magic action this season. In addition to this, nationally televised games will air on ESPN, ABC, NBA TV or TNT. These networks will also carry playoff action for the Magic, which looks like a sure bet at this point.

Sling TV offers three packages: Sling Orange, Sling Blue and Sling Orange + Blue. Sling Orange includes ESPN, while both plans have TNT and 50 hours of cloud DVR. You can combine both packages for the full channel lineup.

Sling TV is an affordable service, making it the best choice for streamers on a budget. While Sling doesn’t offer Bally Sports channels, users in some markets can get ABC, and NBA TV is available in the sports add-on for an extra $11–$15 per month. You can also subscribe directly to Bally Sports Florida via Bally Sports Plus in the Orlando market.

If you’re a Magic fan living outside Orlando, you can use the affordability of Sling TV to your advantage. Combined, a Sling plan and a subscription to NBA League Pass still cost less than many other streaming services.

Fubo is a close second to DIRECTV STREAM for Orlando fans, and some will prefer it for its pricing and extra sports coverage. Its base Pro package features ESPN, NBA TVABC and Bally Sports Florida. Keep in mind that with Fubo, you'll pay an additional regional sports fee in areas where an RSN is available. 

Fubo’s Pro package gives you access to over 190 channels and 1,000 hours of DVR. This gives you ample space to record as many NBA games as you want and rewatch your favorite ones. Fubo also allows you to stream up to 10 screens at one time. If you want NBA TV, you have several upgrade options ranging from $7.99 to $10.99 a month. Unfortunately, there’s no way to access TNT on Fubo.


How to watch the Orlando Magic on Hulu + Live TV

  • Pricing begins at $76.99/mo

You’ll also have full access to Disney Plus and ESPN Plus, a huge bonus for loads of extra on-demand entertainment and live sports.

Those benefits aside, Hulu + Live TV isn’t the best way to stream Orlando’s games all season as it doesn’t include Bally Sports Florida or NBA TV. However, you can subscribe to Bally Sports Plus (in-market) or NBA League Pass (out-of-market) to get access to all the Magic’s regional broadcasts.
