DAZN's New Orlando Magic Streaming Plan: What It Actually Costs

DAZN and the Orlando Magic have a new streaming deal, and it comes with a price tag worth breaking down before you reach for your wallet.

Starting later this month, DAZN will be the Magic’s exclusive direct-to-consumer streaming partner for locally broadcast games during the 2026-27 season. That covers preseason and regular-season games shown locally in Central and North Florida — but not games that air nationally on ABC, ESPN, NBC, Peacock or Prime Video. Those stay put on their existing services.

What It Costs

The new Magic subscription on DAZN has four tiers:

• Monthly Pass: $19.99/month (about $240 a year if paid monthly all season)
• Season Pass: $119.99 for the full season — a better deal than paying monthly across a roughly six-month season
• Monthly Pass Ultimate: $24.99/month (about $300 a year)
• Season Pass Ultimate: $139.99 for the season

The Ultimate tiers add multiview, alternate camera angles, and extra concurrent streams on top of the standard live-game package. There’s a 7-day free trial to test before committing. Season-ticket holders get 20% off the regular Season Pass. Importantly, this is a standalone product — it’s separate from a general DAZN subscription, so you don’t need to already pay for DAZN’s regular service to buy it, though you can bundle it onto an existing account if you have one.

The Free Alternative Most Fans Should Know About

Here’s the part that actually matters for your bill: most Magic fans in the local broadcast area don’t need to pay DAZN anything. Last month, the Magic signed a separate deal with Cox Media Group putting games on WRDQ-TV 27 in Orlando, with some games also on WFTV Channel 9. Both are available free over the air with a basic antenna — no cable, no streaming subscription, no monthly charge at all.

So DAZN’s paid tiers are really an add-on for extras: multiview, alternate feeds, replays, and original team content, not a requirement to watch the games themselves if you’re in the local broadcast footprint.

Who Actually Needs DAZN

If you live outside Central and North Florida, this deal doesn’t change much for you — you’ll still rely on NBA League Pass or the league’s national broadcast partners to watch Magic games, just as before.

If you’re inside the local footprint and just want to watch the games, an antenna and the free Cox Media Group broadcasts on WRDQ-TV 27 or WFTV Channel 9 cover you at no cost. DAZN only becomes worth paying for if you specifically want the added features — multiview, alternate camera angles, extra streams, or the team’s original programming — that come with the paid tiers.

The Bigger Picture

This deal is part of a larger shift happening across the NBA. As traditional regional sports networks collapse, teams are increasingly moving toward a mix of free over-the-air broadcasts and direct-to-consumer streaming rather than replacing one pay-TV package with another. DAZN has reportedly been in talks with up to 10 NBA teams about similar local streaming arrangements, so Orlando’s setup may be a preview of what’s coming to other markets.

What to Do About It

If you’re a Magic fan in the local broadcast area, check whether an antenna and WRDQ-TV 27 or WFTV Channel 9 already cover what you want to watch before paying for DAZN. Only upgrade to the $19.99 or $24.99 monthly tiers if you specifically want the extra features, and use the 7-day free trial first. If you plan to watch all season, the $119.99 or $139.99 season passes beat paying monthly.
