Altitude Sports and regional game coverage

Start with the game’s broadcast assignment

Use the opponent and game date to find the entry in the team’s broadcast schedule. Both team guides distinguish regional coverage from selected national assignments. A game on a national service requires the route named in that fixture listing. When Altitude is the named option, the local viewing guide becomes the next check.

Schedules can list several games against the same opponent in a season. Check whether the entry is the home or away game and record the date shown in the listing. That gives you the right matchup before you spend time checking a television package.

Read the ZIP result and its Restrictions field

Altitude describes a nine-state region covering all or parts of Colorado, Arizona, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, South Dakota and Wyoming. Its viewing guide explains that some locations have NBA or NHL restrictions and displays those in the ZIP code result. In South Dakota, the guide specifies the southwest portion of the state.

Use the ZIP code for the place where you plan to watch. Read the provider results and the Restrictions field together. If your television account includes Altitude, the ZIP result still matters for a Nuggets or Avalanche game. Altitude says viewers outside the region can receive regular programming without those game broadcasts.

Check membership separately for Altitude+

Altitude+ uses an active streaming account and subscription under its published terms. For the streaming route, keep the game and location details handy and check that game’s listing in your account before the start time. For a television-provider route, use the provider identified in the ZIP result and verify the channel on your package.
