With the NFL set to kick off next weekend, it’s only natural to start to think about other professional sports leagues and when they will begin. The Minnesota Timberwolves, who made the Western Conference Finals for the 2nd straight season last year, begin their season on October 22nd in Portland. What’s different about this year is that the Timberwolves will be nationally televised 28 times, meaning the possibility you’ll need different subscriptions to catch all the games. Here’s what subscriptions you’ll need to catch all the games this year on TV.
28 Nationally Televised Games For The Timberwolves
This season, the Timberwolves will be playing under the bright lights of nationally televised games 28 times, and you’ll want to ensure you have these streaming services so you don’t miss out.
Locally, the Timberwolves can be found on FanDuel Sports Network, which will require either a subscription or a streaming service to watch those games.
In addition to FanSuel Sports, Timberwolves fans will want to make sure they have:
ESPN – 7 games this seasonPrime – 7 games this seasonNBC – 6 games this seasonABC – 4 games this seasonPeacock – 4 games this season
The good news for many fans of the Timberwolves is that you can catch NBC or ABC through most televisions with a digital tuner, allowing you to pick up the ‘over the air’ broadcasts. But for the remaining 3 networks, you are going to either need a subscription or a cable/satellite package.

New Ownership & Team Leadership For 2025-26 Season
The Timberwolves’ fans are excited about the new ownership that has taken over the club, Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore, plus the new CEO, who was announced this week, who is coming from the NHL, Matthew Caldwell.
On paper, the Wolves should be competing for the Western Conference title again this year, but they have to play the games first.
Did Anyone Watch These TV Shows in the 1980s and 1990s?
While you might think “watching while distracted” is a modern habit, even back in the day the TV was just… there, humming along while you did other things. These were the shows that weren’t exactly “must-see TV,” more like “might-see TV” — part of the culture, but you had to wonder: who was actually watching?
