Minnesota Timberwolves fans will have a new way to watch games this season, with the team announcing a direct-to-fan streaming partnership with DAZN that will offer 15 games for free.

The Timberwolves and DAZN have signed a local media rights deal making DAZN the exclusive home for Timberwolves basketball in the team’s local broadcast area this year, according to an announcement made on Thursday.

The new service plans to launch later this summer, providing full access to fans in Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota, and partial coverage in Kansas and Wisconsin. The service will feature live games, pregame and postgame shows, highlights, behind-the-scenes content and original programming.

The announcement says that the NBA will handle production for all local game broadcasts, including pregame and postgame coverage. However, there's no word yet on whether fan favorites Jim Petersen or Michael Grady will continue calling games.

Details on the cost for the platform will also be announced at a later date.

Recent seasons have left fans navigating a carousel of streaming options in order to follow the team, with FanDuel Sports Network being the official provider the last two years, and Bally Sports North prior to that.

However, Main Street Sports Group, which owns FanDuel networks, is in danger of dissolving after missing payments to regional sports providers last year.

Meanwhile, the Minnesota Wild announced last week that it would be launching its own multimedia network to broadcast games from.
