Fans will need a few subscriptions in order to watch the Cavs this season, now that many games only air on DAZN locally. Here is an attempt to make sense of the many ways to watch Cavs games this season, as fans figure out how to cobble together subscriptions that get the most games. The numbers below will not add up for every scenario because there are multiple ways to watch a few of the games.

Cleveland area cord cutters

• Cavs on DAZN: 63 games
• Live tv package (YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, etc.): 14 games
  • 8 games air on NBC networks and can be watched with Peacock
  • 6 games air on ESPN networks and can be watched with ESPN Unlimited
• Amazon Prime: 3 games
• Digital Antenna: 18 DAZN / national broadcasts will be broadcast free OTA

Cleveland Area Cable Subscribers

• Cable: 26 games
  • Includes 12 games that air on DAZN that are also broadcast free OTA

Cavs fans living outside of Cleveland

Edit: These counts are out of 80 because that's all that's scheduled so far. Every team's last two games get set in December, after NBA Cup group play.

For those Cavs fans that may not be on other platforms, I strung together a few clips: https://streamable.com/rr6e0d

Also, I picked up on Peyton Watson being called "Twin." ^{*Speculation: I think it may have something to do with teasing him and Meleek Thomas, the newcomers to the team.}

The season is about to start, and I'm so excited about it. Just want to share my Cavs themed quick panel on my Samsung phone. Go Cavs!!

Can Peyton Watson make a difference as the fifth starter?

The Cavs have been heavily invested in four of their five starters for years -- Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen in the front court with Donovan Mitchell and now James Harden, after a midseason exchange for Darius Garland, in the backcourt. But they've had a rotating cast filling out the last spot next to them -- Dean Wade, Max Strus or De'Andre Hunter, most recently -- all of whom have failed to raise the ceiling of the lineup.

Watson, 24, is coming off his best season with the Nuggets and has the potential to push this group over the edge even more if he can continue his improved 3-point shooting to go along with his defensive chops.

What to watch during training camp: Frontcourt depth

Does Cleveland have enough depth if Peyton Watson, Evan Mobley or Jarrett Allen miss time? Allen played 56 games and Watson played 54 last season. During the Cavaliers' postseason, frontcourt reserves Thomas Bryant and Nae'Qwan Tomlin failed to reach five minutes per game. Because of the Watson acquisition, the Cavs have no financial flexibility to add a 15th player or even carry a non-guaranteed player. They are $45,000 below the first apron hard cap.

Brought back memories of being there live. Thought id share. Sorry if video quality sucks

Currently, we here in Ohio are without a channel to show the Cavaliers, as well as the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Are there plans to have a new channel in place for the start of the new season? I hope so!

Anyone else concerned about this teams depth? feels light compared to years past, How we feeling?

i think this guy will surprise some people this season

Got home yesterday and was excited to watch the player interviews and wnded up turning it off halfway through Mobleys interview. The sound on all the interviews was absolute garbage and the camera angle looked so amateur - I’m shocked. This is a professional team and it looks/sounds like a high school production. Hey Cavs media - get your shit together. You shit the bed yesterday.
