The Pistons face the Magic in their first-ever Game 7 on May 3, 2026, at Little Caesars Arena. Fans are eager to tune in, but a cable dispute complicates access to the broadcast.
The game is set to tip off at 3:30 p.m. ET, with the series tied at 3-3. Local viewers can catch the action on ABC, but those with Comcast/Xfinity face challenges; the local ABC affiliate is unavailable on that service. As one frustrated fan noted, “If you have Xfinity, watching Pistons’ Game 7 is going to be tricky.”
Streaming options are available for those looking for alternatives. For instance, Fubo offers a free trial that allows viewers to stream the game online. Additionally, fans can listen to the Pistons’ radio broadcast on WWJ 950-AM for live updates.
This Game 7 carries significant weight for both teams. The Pistons completed an impressive 24-point comeback in Game 6, showcasing their resilience. Meanwhile, the status of key player Franz Wagner remains uncertain as he missed Games 5 and 6 due to a right calf strain.
