What happened: The Atlanta Hawks announced a new broadcast home, with free local coverage returning via ATLNewsFirst. Every non-nationally televised game this season airs free on ATLNewsFirst and Peachtree Sports Network.

Why it matters: The arrangement keeps the bulk of Atlanta's schedule accessible without a cable subscription, continuing the franchise's push for wider local viewership ahead of the 2026-27 season.

What to watch: Full broadcast schedule and game-by-game assignments are expected as the 2026-27 slate takes shape.
