The Hawks do not have many nationally televised games in the 2023-2024 season, so watching the Hawks this season is fairly straightforward.
If you live in the Atlanta TV market, 80 Hawks Games this season will air live on Bally Sports Southeast. The two games not on Bally Sports air on TNT (one in January against the Spurs, and one in March against the Knicks). So Hawks fans living in and around Atlanta will likely want to pick up a service like DIRECTV STREAM’s “Choice Plan” that carries both of those channels. Fubo also carries Bally Sports Southeast, but not TNT. The Hawks do have games on ESPN this season, but they will simulcast on Bally Sports for those living in the Hawks TV Market.
Fans living outside the Hawks market will need to pick up NBA League Pass and a TV streaming service that carries ESPN and TNT to catch every Hawks game this year. NBA League Pass includes NBA TV, so you only need to worry about getting access to ESPN and TNT. Sling TV’s Orange Plan with the sports extra add-on is the most affordable at $51 per month. However, DIRECTV STREAM, Hulu Live TV, and YouTube TV are also options.
That’s the high-level overview of watching the Hawks this season. Read on for more details on the services I mentioned, along with information on who the Hawks play in their next game and where you can watch.

What Channel Are The Hawks On
Where you can watch the Atlanta Hawks depends on whether or not you live inside the Atlanta Hawks TV market (all of Georgia, most of Mississippi (excludes Biloxi and Gulfport), parts of North Carolina (Graham, Jackson, Macon, and Swain counties), parts of South Carolina (Charleston, Augusta, Savannah, and Greenville/Spartanburg), everywhere in Alabama except for the Huntsville area, and Nashville, Chatanooga, and Knoxville in Tennesee ).
If you live inside that market, you can watch Hawks games on Bally Sports Southeast using a streaming service that carries the network. However, if you live outside that market, you will need a subscription to NBA League Pass, and a streaming service that carries ESPN, ABC, and TNT. Let’s take a look at your options based on where you live.
