YES Network released its Brooklyn Nets telecast schedule for the 2017-2018 season. The network will televise all 82 regular season games, including two preseason games against the Knicks and 76ers, at Barclays on October 8 and 11.
In addition to the two preseason games covered by YES, the Nets-Knicks game at the Garden on October 3 will be telecast by MSG.

The schedule is subject to change, especially when the Yankees season starts up in late March/early April. No matter what, it’s better than last season when 900,000 Comcast customers in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut faced a blacked-out schedule until April 2. That contributed to the Nets having the worst local TV ratings in the NBA last season.
The Nets new local TV rights agreement with FOX Sports, YES Network’s parent company, goes into effect this season.
