How to Watch Utah Jazz vs. Memphis Grizzlies Season Opener for Free: Live Stream, Channel, Start Time, Out-of-Market

Last season, the Utah Jazz and Memphis Grizzlies were on the outside looking in at the Western Conference playoffs, but on Wednesday, Oct. 23, they will kick off the 2024-25 NBA against each in Salt Lake City. When the 2023-24 campaign wrapped up, the Jazz was in 12th in the Western Conference with the Grizz in 13th, but as they kick off the new season, they will both be looking to get off on the right foot. In and around Memphis, the game will air on FanDuel Sports Network Southeast, and in Utah it will be on KJZZ. If you don’t live in either of those media markets, you can still check out the game with NBA League Pass.

Everything You Need to Know to Watch the Jazz vs. Grizzlies:

How to Stream the Jazz vs. Grizzlies Outside Utah and Memphis

Despite these two teams having strong home-crowd support, both the Jazz and Grizzlies have millions of fans across the country who still want to check out their favorite team’s first game. Fortunately for them, fans who don’t live near their favorite teams still have a great way to catch their games. NBA League Pass provides access to every out-of-market NBA game of the season with plans starting at just $14 per month.

If you are only interested in watching either the Jazz or the Grizzlies, then League Pass’ ad-supported Team Pass option will allow you to stream every game of the season. However, for just $17 monthly, you can upgrade to the League Pass tier which grants access to every game not available in your market. Like Team Pass, this option is ad-supported and you are only able to watch on one device per account.

However, if you are looking for an elevated experience, the League Pass Premium option is $25 monthly. This tier eliminates ads, allowing you to watch in-arena content during commercials. It also allows you to watch on up to three devices at a time. The streamer also offers full-season plans for $90, $110, and $160 respectively. All three options come with a seven-day free trial, so you can check out the first week of action before committing to paying for a full month or year.

You can stream this game without cable on Apple TV, Roku, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, & Mobile with a Live TV Streaming Service like NBA League Pass. If you haven’t tried it before, you can get a 7-Day Free Trial of NBA League Pass.

NBA League Pass

For basketball fans, NBA League Pass offers the opportunity to follow one team or the entire league with every game (blackout restrictions apply). Prices and features vary greatly, depending on what you’d like to watch.

Subscriptions include Home and Away broadcasts, Mobile View, plus additional languages and camera angles. You’ll also get in-stream advanced statistics so you can check the box score and get live stats on players and teams without ever leaving the stream.

The NBA offers three plans: “Team Pass” ($13.99) provides great options if you only want to follow a single team.

“League Pass” ($16.99) lets you see every game across the entire league.

The “League Pass Premium” ($24.99) plan provides the option to watch on 3 devices without commercials.

You can also save by subscribing for the full season. It’s $89.99 / year for the Team Pass, $109.99 / year for the League Pass, or $159.99 / year for League Pass Premium.

How to Stream the Jazz and Grizzlies From Anywhere

Whether you live in Utah, Memphis, or anywhere else in the United States, if you’ll be away from home and can’t watch the season opener like you normally do, you still have options, no matter where your travels take you, if you sign up for a VPN.

A VPN can be used on your phone, tablet, or computer and make you appear to be back home — even when you’re not — making sure that you can catch all of the games, shows, and movies that you would normally be watching from home. Additionally, a VPN is a safe and secure way to stay protected online while streaming even when you are traveling internationally.

In my opinion, NordVPN is one of the best VPN providers around, at one of the best prices. Currently, you can get two full years of protection for just $3.59 per month, plus an extra three months of service for free. That means you will get even bigger savings on a high-speed VPN with best-in-class security, and you can use it on up to 10 devices at once.

Simply sign up, install the software on your device of choice, and start streaming just as you would back home. It couldn’t be easier!
