What Channel Are Bucks Games On?
MY24 (WVTV) is the new local home of the Bucks. It carries every game that is not on national TV, free with an antenna in the Milwaukee area. FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin shut down after the 2025-26 season, so it no longer airs Bucks games.
Outside Milwaukee, the same games air free on WBAY 2.3 in Green Bay, WISC 3.2 in Madison, WKBT 8.2 in La Crosse and Eau Claire, and WJFW 12.2 in Wausau and Rhinelander. Most cable systems and YouTube TV also carry MY24.
To stream without cable, Bucks+ shows every local game in Wisconsin through the NBA app. It costs $19.99 a month or $99.99 for the full season.
Only two games are national exclusives: November 18 at Miami on ESPN and January 28 vs Miami on Prime Video. Fans outside Wisconsin can watch the rest on NBA League Pass. Two more games also air on NBA TV: October 24 at the Philadelphia 76ers and December 12 at Memphis. Radio coverage is on 620 WTMJ.
