Getty Rudy Gobert and Royce O'Neale are back for the Utah Jazz this season.
The Utah Jazz were one of the most balanced teams in the NBA last season, and they will look to continue that again this year in their quest for an NBA championship after an early postseason exit.
In 2021-22, most Jazz games will be televised in local markets on AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain, while some games will be nationally televised on NBA TV (may be out of market only, but those will also be on AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain), TNT or ESPN.
But if you don’t have cable, here’s a guide on how you can watch a live stream of every Jazz game live online in 2021-22, including options for both in-market and out-of-market viewers:

If You’re Out of the Jazz Market
Amazon Prime’s NBA League Pass Channel
Note: This is ultimately the same as regular NBA League Pass (more info on that below), but with this option you’ll be able to watch games on the Amazon app, which tends to be available on more devices than the NBA app
Amazon Prime subscribers (Prime comes with a 30-day free trial) can watch every out-of-market NBA game via Prime Channels. You can try both Amazon Prime and the NBA League Pass channel at no cost with a free trial:
NBA League Pass on Amazon Prime
Once you’re signed up for the Prime NBA League Pass channel, out-of-market viewers can watch Jazz games live or on-demand on the Amazon Video app, which is available on your Roku, Roku TV, Amazon Fire TV or Firestick, Apple TV, Chromecast, any device with Android TV (such as a Sony TV or Nvidia Shield), Xbox One or Series X/S, PlayStation 4 or 5, various smart TV’s, Xiaomi, Echo Show or Echo Spot, iPhone, Android phone, iPad or Android tablet.
You can also watch on your computer via the Amazon website.
NBA League Pass
Again, this is mostly the same as the Amazon Prime option above, with the big difference being you’ll watch on NBA’s platforms rather than Amazon’s:
Once signed up for NBA League Pass, out-of-market viewers can watch Jazz games live or on-demand on the NBA app, which is available on your Roku, Roku TV, Amazon Fire TV or Firestick, Apple TV, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 or 5, iPhone, Android phone, iPad, Android tablet or other compatible device.
You can also watch on your computer via the NBA website.
Jazz Season Preview 2021-22
Utah finished with a 52-20 record last season, which was first in the Western Conference and best in the league. The Jazz scored 116.4 points a game (4th in the NBA) and they allowed 107.2 points a game on defense (3rd in the league), displaying the kind of overall balance most teams dream of.
Led by reigning Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert, and All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell, the Jazz are looking to get beyond the second round of the playoffs, which is where they exited last year, courtesy of the Los Angeles Clippers. Gobert has won DPOY three of the last four years, and if he wins it one more time, he’ll tie all-time leaders Dikembe Mutombo and Ben Wallace, who have each won the award four times.
“We really feel like we have an opportunity to do something special,” Gobert said, per NBA.com. “You don’t get that many of those windows in your career, so it’s a great opportunity for us, no matter what has happened, to really try to be the best we can be, and it’s exciting. It’s exciting after all those years of losing learning, losing learning, to be a part of a group that wants to do something even better.”
The vibe around the team feels tinged with something special this year, according to players.
“Practice man, we been going at it,” free agent addition Hassan Whiteside said. “They’ve been pretty much feeling like games. We’ve been scripting and going through a lot of plays. … Finding different ways to attack the way teams guard us. I think it’s hard, though, for the season to stay like that. But right now, I think it’s getting us in better shape and better read and reactions, it’s helping me a ton.”
The Jazz also added Jared Butler, who is fresh from a national championship with the Baylor Bears. Butler averaged 18 points, 4.3 assists, 1.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals this preseason, leading all rookies in scoring average. How much he plays early on after such a strong preseason showing will be interesting to watch.
Here’s a look at the team’s notable offseason moves, along with their projected starting roster for the season:
Notable additions: Jared Butler (No. 40 overall pick in the NBA Draft) Hassan Whiteside (free agency), Rudy Gay (free agency), Erich Paschall (trade)
Notable Exits: Derrick Favors (trade), Georges Niang (free agency)
Projected Starting Lineup: Mike Conley (PG), Donovan Mitchell (SG), Royce O’Neale (SG), Bojan Bogdanovic (PF), Rudy Gobert (C)
