How to watch Orlando Magic on TV?

ORLANDO MAGIC

The Orlando Magic franchise was established in 1989 as an expansion team. The Magic struggled early and finally produced a winning season in 1993-94, also the first season the team made it to the postseason. The following year, Orlando played in its first NBA Finals.

The Magic have made it to the postseason in exactly half of their 30 seasons in the league. They have played for two NBA championships but have yet to win one. Of the four expansion teams to enter the league in 1988 and 1989, the Magic have the second-best winning percentage behind Miami.

Magic fans can tune into ESPN, ESPN+, ABC, and TNT for nationally broadcasted games. The complete Orlando Magic schedule is available on FOX Sports Florida. Fans can also live stream games on the FOX Sports GO app or by going to NBA.tv.

HOME OF THE MAGIC

The Magic have only ever had two homes. Ironically, they both share a name. The original home of the Magic was the Amway Arena, also known as the “O-Rena” during its first 10 seasons. In 2010, the Magic moved into the Amway Center. It is home to the largest Jumbotron in the NBA. The Amway Center seats 18,846 for Magic home games.

CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY

As mentioned, the Magic have reached the postseason in half of their 30 seasons in the NBA. They currently play in the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference and have claimed a total of six division titles (1995, 1996, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2019).

The Magic won Eastern Conference titles in 1995 and 2009, but were swept by the Houston Rockets in ’95 and lost 4-1 to the Lakers in ’09.

BEST OF THE MAGIC

Dwight Howard was the first pick in the 2004 NBA draft and played his first nine seasons in Orlando. He earned six All-Star nods with the Magic and was the NBA’s Defensive Player of the Year three straight times from 2009 to 2011. Howard led the Magic to the NBA Finals in 2009. He is the franchise leader in points (11,435), rebounds (8,072), and blocked shots (1,344). Howard has led the NBA in rebounds five times and blocked shots twice.

Nick Anderson was a first-round NBA draft pick in 1989 and played his first 11 seasons with Orlando. He is the franchise’s second all-time leading scorer with 22,440 points. A 6-foot-6-inch shooting guard, Anderson surprisingly is also fourth on the franchise’s all-time rebounding list. Anderson never made an All-Star team but did finish his career having averaged 14.4 points per game.

Tracy McGrady played just five seasons in Orlando, but they were five of his best. McGrady was an NBA All-Star in all but one of his seasons with the Magic. He made the All-NBA first team twice (2002, 2003) and the second team twice (2001, 2004). McGrady would lead the league in scoring twice in 2003 and 2004 and he was named the league’s Most Improved Player in 2001. McGrady is third on the Magic’s all-time scoring list with 8,298 points. He finished his NBA career with 18,381 for an average of 19.6 points per game.
