The Detroit Pistons announced today a new local media television rights agreement with Scripps Sports beginning with the 2026‑27 NBA season. 🏀

Under the agreement, TV20 Detroit - WMYD, owned and operated by Scripps, will become the official local broadcast home of the Detroit Pistons.

“Over-the-air broadcasting has proven to be one of the most powerful ways to connect sports teams with their fans,” said Brian Lawlor, President of Scripps Sports. “As we are seeing right now, the fandom around the Pistons is high and every fan deserves to have access to Detroit Pistons games. Scripps Sports is proud to partner with the Pistons to deliver their games to more fans than ever before – because the best team in the East deserves the best broadcast platform in the NBA.”

The move to Scripps comes after the team had long been on FanDuel Sports Network Detroit, which folded following the season. This will mark the first time local Pistons games will primarily be on free TV since 2005.
