The Detroit Pistons are heading into a must-watch Game 7 against the Orlando Magic this Sunday at 3:30 p.m. ET, and the stakes couldn't be higher. The game is set to air nationally on ABC, but a contract dispute between Comcast Xfinity and E. W. Scripps Company could leave some Metro Detroit fans in the dark.
Here's the situation: Scripps owns WXYZ-TV (Channel 7), Detroit's local ABC affiliate. That station has been pulled from Xfinity lineups after the two sides failed to reach a new agreement. As a result, ABC is currently blacked out for many Xfinity customers in the Detroit area. For fans who've waited through the ups and downs of the season, this is the kind of moment that shouldn't be missed—but it might require a quick pivot.
Don't worry, there are still solid ways to catch all the action. Your best bet is a simple antenna, which should pick up WXYZ-TV in most of Metro Detroit. If you prefer streaming, live TV services like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, or Sling TV typically carry ABC, so you can watch the game on your phone, tablet, or smart TV. For Xfinity customers, these options offer a fast fix to ensure you don't miss a single play.
So gear up, Pistons fans. Whether you're using an antenna or a streaming service, make sure you're ready for tip-off. This is playoff basketball at its finest, and you won't want to miss it.
