With the Los Angeles Lakers tipping off the 2020-21 season on Tuesday, Spectrum SportsNet is embarking on another year of comprehensive coverage. It features 31 games from the first half of the regular-season schedule, with 22 of those exclusive to the Lakers’ network in Southern California.
Spectrum SportsNet’s first broadcast is Sunday, when the Lakers host the Minnesota Timberwolves in their third game of the season. TNT has exclusive rights to Opening Night, and ABC/ESPN is carrying the Christmas Day matchup.
Spectrum SportsNet nevertheless will have pre- and postgame coverage prior to both national broadcasts.
