The Phoenix Suns, Phoenix Mercury and Gray Media announced a multi-year extension of their groundbreaking media rights partnership, reinforcing a shared commitment to fans and shaping the future of sports media. The extension ensures Suns, Mercury and Valley Suns games remain free over-the-air across Arizona through 2030 while also introducing a digital streaming option through Arizona’s Family.
The Suns and Mercury now become the first teams in the NBA and WNBA to make their games available to fans under a single broadcast partner across both over-the-air and streaming. The extension continues the organization’s commitment to ensure games are available to millions of fans across Arizona to watch free over-the-air on Arizona’s Family.
“We could not be more fortunate to have a partner like the Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury,” said Pat LaPlatney, Co-CEO and President of Gray Media. “Mat Ishbia made a fan-first promise to keep these games free and widely accessible across Arizona, and this extension—bringing linear and streaming together in one unified Arizona’s Family experience—takes that commitment even further. We’re proud of what we’ve built since 2023, and we’re excited to keep raising the bar for local sports coverage and serving Suns, Mercury and Valley Suns fans through 2030.”
