The Indiana Pacers schedule for the 2024-25 season is out, and it features more national TV outings than last season. After a run to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2024, the Pacers are now a more popular choice for television networks.
Last season, the blue and gold had just one national TV game scheduled when the season started, and it was against the Boston Celtics. When the team reached the In-Season Tournament playoff bracket, they earned more national TV time, but they weren't originally slated to be seen often.
This year, they are going to be in front of a larger audience more frequently. In total, the Pacers have 14 national TV games, including nine on either ESPN or TNT. Here's the full list.
Indiana has All-NBA talent on its roster in Tyrese Haliburton as well as former All-Star Pascal Siakam. That, combined with their ascent to near-contender status, makes them a worthy national TV squad. They also have upped emotions with many opponents from last season, including the Bucks, Celtics, and Knicks.
