Watching Timberwolves Games on Local Channels
The Minnesota Timberwolves sit in the Minneapolis-St. Paul TV market. None of the upcoming games are on a channel that has a local station there, so every one of them needs a national network or a streaming pass.
Local stations in Minneapolis-St. Paul
| Network | Station | Services confirmed to carry it |
|---|---|---|
| CBS | WCCO 4 | Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, and YouTube TV |
| NBC | KARE 11 | DirecTV Stream, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, and YouTube TV |
| FOX | KMSP 9 | Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, and YouTube TV |
| The CW | WUCW 23 | DirecTV Stream and YouTube TV |
These are the carriers our market data confirms, and it runs behind on smaller-market deals, so treat a missing service as unconfirmed rather than unavailable. Check your ZIP code with a service before you pay for a month. See local channels for more markets.
