Games Will Stream for Free on DAZN and Be Broadcast Over-The-Air on Nexstar’s Local TV Stations in Indianapolis, Evansville, and Champaign, Illinois

First Over-the-air Broadcast Will Be October 23 When the Pacers Take on the Dallas Mavericks

INDIANAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Nexstar Media Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXST) and DAZN, the world’s leading sports entertainment platform and the new live streaming home of the Indiana Pacers, today announced a partnership that will bring 15 regular season Pacers games to fans across Central Indiana on Nexstar television stations. Each game will be simulcast on local television and streamed for free on DAZN, enabling fans to watch the same live broadcast whether they choose to tune in over-the-air, through a television provider, or on a connected device.

The partnership is a win for Indiana viewers and Pacers fans, providing them with greater access to the team and more options to watch. The remainder of the Pacers season will also be available on DAZN with a paid subscription with more details available at DAZN.com/Pacers. DAZN subscribers will have access to expanded pregame and postgame coverage, highlights, behind-the-scenes access and original programming throughout the season.

“We are thrilled to partner with DAZN to give Indiana Pacers fans more ways to watch and support their team,” said Matthew Rosenfeld, Executive Vice President of Nexstar’s broadcasting division. “Serving local viewers is at the heart of everything we do, and this partnership combines the reach of local television with the convenience of streaming, making Pacers basketball accessible wherever and however fans choose to watch.”

The live simulcasts tip off on Friday, October 23, when the Pacers take on the Dallas Mavericks. Nexstar-owned WTTV-TV (CBS) and WXIN-TV (FOX) in Indianapolis will serve as the television home for the 15 games, which will also be carried live by WTVW-TV (CW) in Evansville, and WCIX-TV (MyNet) in Champaign, Illinois. Nexstar intends to engage additional stations in the Pacers’ extended territory throughout other parts of Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, and Kentucky, to create a broad network of exposure and reach for the 15 games. Further details on availability in these areas will be announced in the coming weeks.

“This partnership gives local fans of the Indiana Pacers greater choice and access, by making 15 of the team’s games free-to-view,” said Shay Segev, CEO of DAZN Group. “Together with Nexstar, we’re making it easier for more basketball fans to watch the Pacers live, while delivering a richer streaming experience on DAZN throughout the season.”
