Viewers of the Heat will face increasing costs due to Comcast Xfinity's pricing changes and new streaming rights with Amazon Prime Video and Peacock. Many games will be exclusive to these services and cannot be accessed through regional sports networks. The full schedule, revealing which games will be exclusive, is expected in August. While current subscribers to both streaming services incur no additional costs, those who do not subscribe may need to pay more to view exclusive games. The playoff round will see all games become exclusive, further impacting access for fans.
Last season, Comcast Xfinity placed FanDuel Sports Sun on a tier costing about $20 per month, making watching Heat games significantly more expensive for viewers.
The new league streaming partnership with Amazon Prime Video and Peacock may further increase costs for viewers, particularly if they do not subscribe to these services.
A significant portion of the Amazon Prime and Peacock games will be exclusive, impacting viewers by restricting access to certain games and playoff matchups.
All NBC games will be exclusive in the new deal, while past coverage by TNT for playoff games and Thursday night games is no longer available.
