The Golden State Warriors are one of the finest and most widely followed franchises in the NBA in recent years. Since 2015, the team has become the four-time NBA champions with the six-time champions of the Western Conference and therefore, the Dubs games are part of the usual programming for most basketball enthusiasts across the United States. If you are a Dish Network Package holder and wish to follow the Warriors in the current season, here is how you will be able to see them on which channel.
ABC, ESPN, & TNT
ABC, ESPN, and TNT as a national channel for NBA games will stream selected unique Warriors games in the regular season and playoffs. These games include top teams and players well-known across the country.
It is worth noting, however, that during the regular season, the only times the Warriors will be featured on ABC are on Saturday evenings or Sunday afternoons at most. ESPN and TNT have scheduled more Golden State games on Wednesday and Thursday. The easiest way to watch any Warriors game is to check the local television schedule for the week and see if the game falls on ABC, ESPN, or TNT that week.
More national broadcasts for the Warriors appear in the playoffs. ESPN televises games during the first and second rounds of NBA playoffs, while TNT broadcasts Western Conference playoff games from the round of sixteen games, the conference semifinals games. ABC will acquire the NBA Finals once Golden State gets to that level as they are eyeing a four-peat this year.
NBCSBA & CA
For the remaining 82 regular season games that Dish will air for subscribers in the Bay Area and the rest of California, NBC Sports Bay Area and NBC Sports California will be the regional home for Golden State Warriors.
NBC Sports Bay Area is the leading platform that transmits roughly 70 Golden State Warriors games per season. Since it airs Kings games, when there is a Kings game and a Bay Area sports game simultaneously, NBC Sports California acts as an overflow for NBC Sports Bay Area. Thus, customers who subscribe to Dish can witness almost all the Warrior's regular season games on cable between these two NBC-affiliated regional sports networks.
The only games that are not aired through NBC Sports Bay Area/California are the several games featured on the national telecast on ABC, ESPN, and TNT only. Therefore, it would be wise to examine those major networks’ schedules before going directly to NBCSBA or NBCSCA to catch a particular game you are interested in watching.
The League Pass & Team Pass Packages
If there are Warriors fans who are avid Dish subscribers who want to watch all the Warriors games this season, an NBA League Pass subscription could be the best solution. This sports package, from the league outside the basketball one, airs live regular season games of all teams, including the Golden State Warriors.
Although a little pricey to get the full NBA League Pass, it is not a problem if you are a Dish subscriber, and you only must pay a small amount to have the Warriors Team Pass. This allows one to watch all the Warriors games which are not aired on other Dish channels because of blackouts. This year alone, between Team Pass and your normal Dish cable programs, you can watch all 82 Warrior regular-season games.
Streaming Options
Outside the home and cannot watch Dish? No problem. Dish delivers streaming access to customers via the Dish Anywhere application and web client. So long as you sign in with your Dish account details, you can access several channels you subscribe to such as NBC Sports Bay Area and ESPN wherever you are with an active internet connection.
The watching options also include applications from ABC, WatchESPN, TNT, and NBC Sports where you can also find streaming. And if the Warriors game is playing on cable at home, use the apps on your mobile device or laptop to watch the action from your non-home location.
The other streaming solution is purchasing NBA League Pass as an individual product for watching all the available live games of the Warriors that are not aired in your region. Unlike some games which are a bit costly to purchase outright, League Pass does not have Dish subscription restrictions and blackouts as per your area.
In Closing
Dish Network’s primary procedure of determining what channel the Warriors games air on includes identifying NBC Sports Bay Area/California for most games this season. Nationally televised games are broadcast on ABC, ESPN, and TNT networks; watch them on these channels at appropriate times. If you require more games from Golden State, then it is advisable to invest in League Pass packages. So, if you follow these guidelines, you can catch electrifying Warrior’s action via Dish all season round without a hitch.
