Jazz+ Streaming Service Delivers Live Games, Exclusive Series, and Other On-Demand Content Directly to Local Utah Jazz Fans
With Insider Content Available Today and 80+ Live Game Streams Starting Oct. 8, Jazz+ Brings Fans Closer to the Team Than Ever, with Access Starting at $5 for Pay-Per-View Games
Annual Subscriptions Purchased By Oct. 24 Include Two Tickets to a Utah Jazz Game at Delta Center Plus a Jazz T-Shirt and Jazz Hat
Timed to coincide with the Utah Jazz’s 50th season celebration, SEG Media today launched Jazz+. This Utah Jazz-branded, direct-to-consumer subscription streaming service provides local fans with unprecedented access to the organization via live games, exclusive footage, and other new, original video-on-demand (VOD) content that highlights the best of the Jazz and the beauty of Utah – all produced by SEG Media. Jazz+ subscriptions can be purchased now by visiting UtahJazz.com/JazzPlus.
Through Jazz+, all 3.3 million plus Utahns, as well as most fans who live within the team’s broadcast footprint, which includes areas of Idaho and Wyoming, can benefit from the convenience and flexibility of catching every minute of Utah Jazz action at home or on the go.
“Creating the best fan experience is top of mind in everything we do. This season, we have so many reasons to celebrate being a Utah Jazz fan – from the return of Delta Center and our 50th anniversary season to the launch of Jazz+ and the ability for anyone in Utah to watch Jazz games on KJZZ,” said Ryan Smith, chairman of Smith Entertainment Group and governor of the Utah Jazz. “With Jazz+, we have created 24/7 digital access to the team. We are so excited that all Utahns can be with us for every minute of the action.”
The expansive Jazz+ programming lineup will offer incredible value and engaging experiences through four fan-focused pillars of content:
- Jazz+ Live Games & Full-Length Replays: Jazz+ subscribers can access 80+ live game streams covering all Utah Jazz preseason and regular season matchups, excluding all nationally televised games, beginning with the first preseason tipoff against the Los Angeles Clippers on Oct. 8. Starting Oct. 25, timed for the team’s regular season opener, live game streams will include the Utah Jazz pre- and post-game show and the option to access game play-by-play and commentary in Spanish. Fans will have the ability to rewatch every locally televised game in its entirety, with VOD replays available following the conclusion of each regular season game.
- SEG Media Original Shows on Jazz+: Jazz+ debuts today with never-before-seen, original shows created by SEG Media exclusively for Jazz+ subscribers. Most of this unique content features behind-the-scenes footage with the team, their coaching staff, front office, and ownership and is the premier episode for what will become a limited or season-long series. At launch, these Jazz+ shows range from Shoot the Shot with Coach Hardy (an interview-style shooting competition with special guests) and Utah Sights & Bites (a look at player- and fan-favorite spots) to Meet the Coaches (an interview series introducing the Utah Jazz coaching staff), and others. More exclusive content will be announced and released as the season progresses.
- Jazz+ Behind-the-Scenes Content, Highlights, and Extras: Throughout the year, Jazz+ will offer a continuously expanding library of surprise-and-delight content. For example, teasers for the team’s 50th season documentary will premiere on Jazz+ beginning in November. On a regular basis, Jazz+ subscribers can access newly uploaded extended clips of behind-the-scenes moments with the team, condensed games with commentary, historic player mixtapes, and more. Available now are an extended version of Walker Kessler’s Summer 2023 Junior Jazz Road Trip, a Karl Malone highlights reel, and a narrated look at the rookies’ first days with the Jazz after the 2023 NBA Draft.
- Jazz+ Exclusive Alternative Broadcasts: During select games, including each of the five Decade Nights as part of the Utah Jazz’s 50th anniversary season, Jazz+ will offer alternative broadcast streams featuring live commentary from Jazz alumni and other notable personalities.
Subscriptions to Jazz+ are available now at UtahJazz.com/JazzPlus. An annual subscription is priced at $125.50 and, at less than $1.50 per game, is the best value. Annual subscription purchases made from today through October 24 also include two upper bowl tickets to one Utah Jazz game at Delta Center during the 2023-24 season*, as well as a Jazz t-shirt and hat. A monthly subscription is available for $15.50. Annual and monthly subscriptions include access to stream live and on-demand games, as well as all other available content. A pay-per-view (PPV) option, offering single-game purchases starting at $5, will launch on Oct. 25.
After purchasing their preferred subscription plan at UtahJazz.com/JazzPlus, Jazz+ subscribers can log in to view live games and other content at UtahJazzPlus.com.
