(October 10, 2025) – Monumental Sports Network (MNMT) announced today that 80 regular season and three preseason Washington Wizards games will air on the award-winning local media platform during the 2025-26 NBA season.

The first game available on MNMT will be the team’s preseason opener on Sunday, Oct. 12 against the Toronto Raptors. All Wizards preseason games will be free for fans to stream on monumentalplus.com and on the Monumental+ app.
“With an exciting young roster taking the floor this season, we’re continuing our commitment to delivering quality, all-access Wizards coverage to fans across the DMV region,” said Zach Leonsis, President of Media & New Enterprises at Monumental Sports & Entertainment (MSE). “From every tipoff to the final buzzer—and all the stories in between—our network is dedicated to bringing fans closer to the team they love. Monumental Sports Network is the home for fun Wizards moments all season long.”
The Wizards broadcast booth during the upcoming season will feature play-by-play announcer Chris Miller – entering his 4th season at MNMT – and color analyst Drew Gooden – who is heading into his 7th season. Miller and Gooden will be joined by sideline reporter Meghan McPeak, who enters her 4th season as part of Wizards game broadcasts. The Wizards will make two exclusive national TV appearances this season, appearing on Peacock for the first time with a visit to the Pistons on Nov. 10 and on Amazon Prime when they host the Bucks on Jan. 29.
Wizards games on MNMT will be bookended with live gameday programs Wizards Pregame Live and Wizards Postgame Live. These shoulder programs will broadcast live from MNMT’s state-of-the-art Vanda Pharmaceuticals Studio and will provide the latest Wizards news, analysis, and commentary for a half hour before and one hour after games. Wes Hall returns as the fulltime host of both gameday programs and will be joined by a strong rotation of analysts, including Jason Smith, Christy Winters Scott, Tony Massenburg, Jimmy Patsos, and Greivis Vásquez, as well as appearances from Glenn Consor and Ron Thompson. The network’s Wizards coverage will also include magazine show Beyond the Buzzer and other original programming, including Hometown with Rachel Nichols, highlighting the top on- and off-court stories.
Live Wizards games on MNMT will be available to local fans both on linear tv and via streaming platforms within the network’s coverage area, stretching from Richmond to Delaware. The network is carried by major TV providers including Comcast Xfinity, Verizon FiOS, Charter, Cox, Altice, and others, and is also available to stream via DIRECTV. Local basketball fans can watch the games through their pay TV provider, on monumentalplus.com, or by downloading the state-of-the-art Monumental+ app on iOS, Android, Apple TV, Chromecast, DIRECTV Gemini, Fire TV, Roku, Samsung, X1, and Xfinity Xumo and using an eligible TV Everywhere log-in.
Fans without a TV provider who are interested in watching live Capitals, Wizards, and other local games during the 2025-26 season can purchase an annual or monthly direct-to-consumer subscription at monumentalplus.com or download the Monumental+ app and subscribe through App Stores. MNMT recently lowered the annual price of a direct subscription to Monumental+, making it even more affordable for fans in the DMV region to stream MNMT’s games and original content anywhere, anytime. The new annual rate of $179.99 equates to savings of $59.89 per year compared to twelve months of a monthly subscription.
Fans who watch Wizards games on Xfinity should note that as a result of recent contract negotiations, Xfinity has moved MNMT exclusively to its ‘Ultimate TV’ package. While this change has impacted some customers, many Xfinity subscribers in the D.C. area already have the ‘Ultimate TV’ package and will continue to have uninterrupted access to Monumental Sports Network. However, to ensure all fans continue to have access, MNMT secured a discount for fans who are interested in the ‘Ultimate TV’ package. Through November 14, any fan who subscribes to the “Ultimate TV” package will receive $10 off per month for the first six months of their subscription.
