How to watch
- If you want to get together with other Magic fans to cheer on the games, tickets are still available for the home games at Kia Center on April 25 and April 27 — and for Game 6 on May 3, if necessary. You can buy them at the Kia Center box office or online.
- In addition, an extended Fan Fest will begin two hours before tipoff prior outside Kia Center during every home game and extend throughout the game. It will feature a giant outdoor screen for those without game tickets, but free Fan Fest tickets will be required to enter. They will be made available online or at the entrance on the days of the games.
- If you can’t make it to the Kia Center or want to watch a road game, they all will be broadcast on TV, depending upon your broadcast provider.
- Bally Sports will air all the games. If you prefer national coverage, ESPN will broadcast the series opener Saturday, NBA TV will air Games 2 and 3, and TNT will be on site to carry the home game on April 27. National coverage for Games 5-7, if necessary, will be announced later.
- Watch parties also are planned throughout the area for road games Saturday and Monday so fans can gather for those games, too.
- The official watch parties will be held at Wall Street Plaza and will begin 30 minutes before tip-off each night. A stage and two large screen TVs with the game telecast will be set up at Wall Street. Magic entertainment teams will be part of the parties, and giveaways will be offered. A Magic pop-up retail area also will be on site. The Magic would like fans to RSVP if they are planning to come so they know how many people to expect.
- Satellite watch parties also are planned for the first two away games at:
- Elixir Kitchen & Bar, 9 W. Washington St. in Orlando
- Hagan O'Reilly's Irish Pub, 16112 Marsh Road in Winter Garden
- The Tavern East Orlando, 504 N. Alafaya Trail, Suite 102 in Orlando
- Twisted Handle, 1632 N. Mills Ave. in Orlando
- The Magic would like fans to RSVP for the watch parties if they are planning to come so they and the venues know how many people to expect.
- If you’re traveling during the game, 96.9 The Game will air the games on the radio. Play-by-play announcer Jake Chapman will be joined by former Magic player Terrence Ross for analysis on those broadcasts, and 96.9's In the Zone host Brandon Kravitz will anchor the pregame and postgame radio shows.
