Coming off their best season in over a decade, the Orlando Magic started the season with high hopes. Unfortunately, after a mid-season slump, the Magic are hovering around a play-in spot.
With Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner leading the way, the Magic have a shot at upsetting a top seed this year. If you want to catch the final stretch of the season, look no further. In this guide, we’ll cover all of the top sports streaming services featuring Magic games.
For regional fans looking to catch the Magic, FanDuel Sports Network Florida will have you covered for most games. Unfortunately not on FDSN, 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 solid bet as the season wraps up. Here’s a breakdown of how each of the top live TV streaming services compare in terms of NBA channel offerings.

DIRECTV STREAM is the best way to catch Orlando’s games all season long. With the Choice package, you will have access to FanDuel Sports Network Florida, ESPN, TNT, NBA TV and ABC. Additionally, DIRECTV STREAM offers unlimited Cloud DVR storage and no-commitment.
DIRECTV STREAM also grants access to several other sports and entertainment across 105+ channels, which include ACC Network and the Tennis Channel.
Hulu + Live TV offers a vast collection of entertainment. With ESPN, ABC, and TNT, Hulu + Live TV will have you covered for nationally televised Magic games. Additionally, this plan includes over 95 channels and unlimited DVR, where you can watch recordings for up to nine months. You’ll also have full access to Disney Plus and ESPN Plus. While those benefits are great, Hulu + Live TV doesn’t include FanDuel Sports Network Florida or NBA TV which may be a problem for die-hard fans who want to catch every game.
Overall, Hulu + Live TV is a good option for casual fans wanting to catch big games, but for Magic fanatics who want access to every game, you should look at a different platform.
Sling TV is the most affordable option for keeping up with the Orlando Magic. The Sling base plans (Blue or Orange) start at a price of $45.99 and you can get 50% off for your first month. With the upgrade Sling plan, you’ll gain access to ESPN, ABC, and TNT, along with the option to add-on NBA TV.
As you’ll have access to all major games, Sling TV is a great choice for the casual Magic fans who want to see important matchups, but don’t need to see every game.
Fubo is another top option that offers nearly all of the required channels to keep up with the Orlando Magic. You’ll gain access to ESPN, ABC, NBA TV, and even Fanduel Sports Network Florida. Unfortunately, Fubo doesn‘t include TNT which might prevent you from catching some playoff games.
Additionally, Fubo offers a free trial, 211+ live TV channels, and unlimited cloud DVR. If you’re a Magic fan who wants a large selection of channels, Fubo might be your best bet.
YouTube TV is a solid option that’ll cover you for prime-time, nationally televised, and playoff games. The plan includes ESPN, NBA TV, TNT, and ABC. Additionally, YouTube TV offers unlimited DVR recording space, 100+ live TV channels, and a free trial.
Unfortunately, YouTube TV doesn’t Offer Fanduel Sports Network Florida, which means you’ll miss out on most regular season games.
If you’re a Magic fan living outside of Orlando, NBA League Pass might be your best option. NBA League Pass will provide you with most regular season games starting at the small price of $14.99/ mo.
Additionally, NBA League Pass offers multiple plans so you can choose between league-wide coverage or a Magic-only plan.
The Odds:
Eastern Conference Playoff Spot: -188 (65.3%)
NBA Champions: +50,000 (0.2%)

Technically, it won’t be free, but you can buy an antenna and watch games broadcast on local channels like ABC. You can also test out free trials with streaming services like Fubo.
If you want to catch every single Orlando Magic game, we recommend DIRECTV STREAM. That’s the only live TV streaming platform that features ABC, ESPN, TNT, NBA TV and FanDuel Sports Network Florida. You’ll need to subscribe to the Choice plan or higher to get every channel.
To watch NBA games on League Pass, you’ll need an active NBA League Pass subscription and the NBA app. You can download the app on iOS and Android devices, as well as Apple TV, Roku, Xbox, PlayStation and some smart TVs. Alternatively, you can watch via NBA.com on your web browser of choice.
