Bucks returning to over-the-air TV for first full season in 31 years
CBS 58 MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) — The Milwaukee Bucks will return to full-season over-the-air television for the first time in 31 years during the 2026-27 season.
The Bucks announced Friday that all preseason and regular season games will air on MY24 and affiliated stations across Wisconsin.
MY24 previously served as the team's over-the-air television home from 1988 through 1994. Fans in the Milwaukee area will once again be able to watch Bucks games for free over the air, as well as on most major cable providers and YouTube TV.
"This season marks an exciting return to our roots as we bring Bucks basketball back to full-season over-the-air television for the first time in more than three decades," said Bucks and Fiserv Forum President Josh Glessing. "We're grateful to our partners at Rincon Broadcasting Group for helping us make Bucks games more accessible to our fans throughout Wisconsin."
The announcement comes ahead of a new era for the franchise following the blockbuster trade that sent Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to the Miami Heat.
In return, Milwaukee acquired Wisconsin native Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Kasparas Jakučionis, along with the No. 13 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, a first-round pick swap in 2030, first-round picks in 2031 and 2033, and a second-round pick in 2033.
The Bucks used the No. 10 overall pick in the draft to select Brayden Burries and selected Nate Ament with the No. 13 pick acquired from Miami.
