ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – The Atlanta Hawks, Atlanta News First (WANF), Peachtree Sports Network (PSN) and FanDuel Sports Network have agreed on a partnership to simulcast 11 games this season that provides fans with a variety of options to watch Hawks Basketball.
The networks will simulcast select Hawks games beginning with the November 8th game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Games simulcast on Atlanta News First and PSN will mirror the broadcast on FanDuel Sports Network Southeast, featuring hometown broadcasters Bob Rathbun, Dominique Wilkins, Madison Hock, Matt Winer and Brian Oliver.
“We are fortunate to partner with WANF and PSN on these broadcasts, giving Hawks fans another great way to watch some of our biggest games this season. This partnership, alongside FanDuel Sports Network, reflects our shared commitment to delivering an outstanding fan experience and ensuring continued easy access to viewing our games,” Atlanta Hawks and State Farm Arena President of Business Enterprise and Chief Commercial Officer Andrew Saltzman said.

The games include home and road matchups against some of the NBA’s best franchises facing the new-look Atlanta Hawks that made a splash in free-agency after signing veterans Kristaps Porzingis, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and Luke Kennard to an experienced club led by All-Star Trae Young. The Hawks have built a formidable roster around Young with All Defensive Team guard Dyson Daniels, returning starter at forward Jalen Johnson, last year’s number one pick Zaccharie Risacher, and 2025 draft pick Asa Newell (Georgia).
“This off-season was huge for Hawks fans, and we are thrilled to bring the new-look Hawks to broadcast on Atlanta’s only locally owned, independent station,” WANF General Manager Erik Schrader said. “A huge advantage of being independent is we can now carry even more Hawks games than we’ve been able to do previously, as we continue to bring Atlanta-centric programming to our Atlanta viewers.
“Simulcasting Hawks games on Atlanta News First and Peachtree Sports Network allows us to showcase the exceptional quality of our broadcasts and on-air talent to a new audience,” said Damon Phillips, Executive Vice President of Team Partnerships at FanDuel Sports Network. “With 72 Hawks games televised and streamed this season on FanDuel Sports Network, these select simulcasts give fans a compelling preview of what they can expect from our network all year long.”
