Fan experience is everything & truly matters most. That is why @Suns and @PhoenixMercury games will now be available to almost 3 million AZ households for free. So many families will be able to enjoy watching the games together, and I'm excited to continue doing right by our fans & community.

This is great news. The Suns have broken the barrier and more teams of all sorts will do the same.

Yep. It was always just a matter of time, so glad it's the Suns that are the first to pull the plug on they dying regional sports packages.

Great news! I miss the golden days of watching Suns game on UPN45 were some great memories on that channel.

Now is your chance to move to AZ and enjoy our 110 degree weather in the summer. :)

Great news considering I just (as in this week) cut cable and was wondering how I’d be watching games next season. Still need to figure out the best way to get playoff games without using a shady stream.

Sling orange is your best bet. $20 first month then $40 after. Least expensive option I could find.

I was a shady stream user for the regular season but wanted a little more reliability for the playoffs

Kind of expensive to pay $20 followed by 40 next month. Do you know if they allow 6 easy installments of $10 each?

Based on my research I was leaning toward this option, thanks for confirming.

What else do you get with sling? Does it automatically come with a lot of channels or do you pick and choose?

You get like 30 channels. I only really use it for sports and I'll cancel after the playoffs
