THE Indiana Pacers are expected to air on Bally Sports Indiana in 2024-25.
In court documents relating to a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case, Diamond Sports Group — the parent company of Bally Sports Regional Networks — agreed to modify terms of contracts with 22 professional sports teams, 13 NBA and nine NHL.
Last month, Diamond Sports delayed a hearing to approve its Chapter 11 exit plan, but announced a Comcast contract renewal a few days later.
In a statement, Diamond said it has made significant progress with the teams broadcast on Bally Sports, including the Pacers.

In a press release, the NBA said: “We have entered into a new agreement with Diamond Sports Group for the 2024-25 season during which Diamond RSNs will broadcast the local games of 13 NBA teams.”
Details of the deal are sealed, but it is believed that teams will receive less royalties to ensure their games are broadcast on a Bally Sports network. Diamond Sports has until the end of the upcoming seasons to emerge from Chapter 11, or the contracts could be terminated.
