Lifted by Nikola Jokic’s MVP performance and stellar defense, the Nuggets made their way back to the NBA Finals. Unfortunately their playoff run was short, and the Nuggets weren’t able to make it to the Finals. Now, fans can look ahead to next season and get ready to watch their team get back into the regular season.
Denver fans want to see their team make it to the Playoffs again next year— and that means not missing a second of the action as the season continues.

How to watch the Denver Nuggets on DIRECTV STREAM
- Suggested Plan: Choice
- Price: $108.99
- Free Trial: Yes, 5-Days
- Channels Included: Altitude, ABC, ESPN, TNT, NBA TV
DIRECTV STREAM is the only live TV streaming service that guarantees you’ll be able to watch every Nuggets game next season. You’ll need to live in the Denver TV market and upgrade to the Choice plan to get every channel. This also includes unlimited DVR storage, so you never have to miss a moment of the action.
That may be a bit pricier than some competitors, but DIRECTV STREAM backs it up with a full slate of sports streaming action. With the Choice plan, not only do you get ABC, ESPN, TNT, NBA TV, and Altitude Sports, but you’ll also have access to plenty of other sports networks, from ESPN2 and FS1 to MLB Network and SEC Network. If you live outside the Denver market, you can even add NBA League Pass to your DIRECTV STREAM plan for $14.99 a month to watch every Nuggets game.

How to watch the Denver Nuggets on Hulu + Live TV
- Suggested Plan: Hulu + Live TV
- Price: $76.99
- Free Trial: Yes, 3-Days
- Channels Included: ABC, ESPN, TNT
Hulu + Live TV doesn’t have every channel airing Nuggets games for the season, but it has some of them. The platform doesn’t feature NBA TV or Altitude Sports, and that leaves out a lot of action for Nuggets fans during the regular season. However, with playoff games airing on ABC, ESPN, and TNT, there will still be a fair amount of Denver action on Hulu + Live TV.
It may be a more limited set of games, but Hulu + Live TV will still appeal to many Nuggets fans who want a wider variety of entertainment than other platforms offer. Hulu + Live TV features more than 95 channels, unlimited cloud DVR, and access to Disney Plus and ESPN Plus, which unlocks extra live sports and a huge library of on-demand content. In our view, it’s the best all-around streaming service money can buy, even if it’s lacking in some sports programming.

How to watch the Denver Nuggets on Fubo
- Suggested Plan: Pro
- Price: $79.99
- Free Trial: Yes, 7-Days
- Channels Included: Altitude, ABC, ESPN, NBA TV
Fubo is a close second to DIRECTV STREAM for fans who want to catch as much Nuggets action as possible this season. The only thing missing from the platform is TNT, so you’ll be able to watch most games with a Fubo subscription, including all those on Altitude Sports. The only catch here is that you’ll need to upgrade your plan from the basic Pro option to add NBA TV. Also note that you’ll pay an additional regional sports fee if you live in an area where an RSN is available.
Even without TNT and TBS, Fubo still offers more sports, and you can add quite a few more sports channels through upgrades and add-ons. Like DIRECTV STREAM, Fubo also offers the option to add NBA League Pass. For $14.99 a month, you can catch most Nuggets games if you live outside the Denver market with this plan.

How to watch the Denver Nuggets on YouTube TV
- Suggested Plan: Base
- Price: $72.99
- Free Trial: Yes, 7-Days
- Channels Included: ABC, ESPN, TNT, NBA TV
If you’re content with only watching the Nuggets on national TV this year, YouTube TV is one of your best bets. Its base plan features ABC, ESPN, TNT, and NBA TV, among more than 100 other channels. There’s no Altitude Sports, but YouTube TV has one of the largest, most well-rounded channel lineups of any streaming platform.
Plus, if you live outside the Denver market, you can add NBA League Pass to your plan for $14.99 a month to watch every Nuggets game. The service may not have everything, but there’s a lot to enjoy on YouTube TV. There’s plenty of sports coverage across major networks like NFL Network, FS1, ACCN, and Big Ten Network, plus unlimited DVR space and plenty of add-on options. Sports fans can also enjoy enhanced features like Key Plays View and Stats View to see even more of the action in real time.
