The Magic’s first-round playoff games will be aired locally on Bally Sports Florida if not on ABC, the franchise said, as well as on the Orlando Magic Radio Network, FM 96.9 The Game.

It will be the Magic’s first playoff appearance since 2020, a matchup which wasn’t played in front of a crowd because of the pandemic. So, the last time fans were able to watch the Magic in person for the playoffs was in 2019.

Tickets went on sale Monday, purchasable online and at the Kia Center box office on Church Street.
