Magic<\/a> fans living in Tampa wondering how to watch their nearby NBA<\/a> team on television received an answer Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Magic and WMOR-TV, a Hearst Television-owned station, announced a partnership to telecast games for Tampa viewers during the 2026-27 season, the team announced.<\/p>\n

All regular season games, excluding national exclusives, will be broadcast over-the-air on WMOR-TV Channel 32, the team said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with WMOR-TV and Hearst to bring Magic basketball to our Tampa fans,\u201d Orlando<\/a> Magic president of business operations Charlie Freeman said in a statement. \u201cWMOR-TV will provide Magic fans a direct connection to the team all season long.\u201d<\/p>\n

The announcement represents an expansion of the partnership between the team and the station, which aired 10 Magic games under an agreement during the 2025-26 season.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to grow our relationship with the Magic and to expand accessibility to Magic basketball across Central Florida,\u201d WMOR-TV president and general manager John Soapes said in a statement. \u201cThis partnership reflects a shared commitment to delivering high-quality local sports programming and creating new opportunities for fans to connect with their team.\u201d<\/p>\n

The expanded partnership in Tampa also follows last month\u2019s announcement<\/a> that the Magic agreed to a deal with Cox Media Group, which will broadcast games on WRDQ-TV 27 and WFTV-Channel 9<\/a> in Orlando for the upcoming season.<\/p>\n

WMOR-TV serves Tampa-St. Petersburg, the country\u2019s 11th largest television market. For fans living elsewhere in Florida, a complete station lineup and broadcast schedule will be announced at a later date, the team said.<\/p>\n

The Magic will also announce a direct-to-consumer streaming partner in the near future, according to the team.<\/p>\n
