FOX Sports Indiana will televise all 82 regular season games for the Pacers the upcoming season. With the NBA season tipping off early this year, the Pacers open at home on Oct. 18 against the Brooklyn Nets.
This year the Pacers will avoid having their national games scratched since they only have one ESPN game slated when OKC visits the Fieldhouse on Dec. 13. Why the Thunder? Oh, yeah. Fortunately, you can avoid the PG slurpfest by the ESPN crew and instead enjoy Chris and Quinn on FSI.
The Pacers only play four preseason games of which two will be televised. Here are the plans according to FSI.
FOX Sports Indiana will also carry two preseason games, the opener, Oct. 4 at Milwaukee (8:00 p.m.) and the Pacers’ only home preseason game, Oct. 10 (7:00 p.m.), against Maccabi Haifa, the 2016-17 Israeli Super League runner-up. FOX Sports Indiana will also air a 30-minute Pacers’ season preview special, premiering Saturday, Oct. 14 at 6:00 p.m.and re-airing through opening night.
That also means all regular season games will be available wherever you may be as long as you have the FOX sports GO app. The app has been fantastic when I’ve taken advantage of it while on the road in past season.
If you need or prefer the HD visuals delivered by Mark Boyle, the Pacers radio network remains on 107.5FM and AM1070 The Fan in Indy. Slick Leonard will join Boyle at the Fieldhouse with Austin Croshere pinch hitting on the road occasionally.
