Altitude Sports announces streaming service to watch Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche games

The long blackout for sections of Colorado Avalanche and Denver Nuggets fans is now over.

Altitude Sports announced Thursday a new streaming option for fans locally to watch Avs and Nuggets games. It is called Altitude+.

The Altitude+ app will first be available for download on iOS and Android devices, with connected smart TV apps to follow soon after, according to Altitude Sports. The app will be released in October.

The subscription-based app will cost $19.95/month to access all Nuggets and Avalanche games not exclusive to a national network.

An agreement was also reached for 9News and My20 to broadcast 20 Nuggets and Avalanche games each with free over-the-air broadcasts.

Comcast has not carried Altitude Sports since 2019 due to a contract dispute.

Altitude Sports continues to be available throughout its nine-state territory on DirecTV, DirecTV Stream and Fubo.

In the time of the contract dispute with Comcast, both teams have had big success. The Avalanche won the 2022 Stanley Cup and Nathan Mackinnon was named the NHL’s most valuable player last season. The Nuggets were the 2023 NBA champions and Nikola Jokic has won three league MVP (2021, 2022, 2024) awards.

The Avalanche open the regular season Oct. 9 at Las Vegas (8 p.m. MT). The Nuggets open the regular season Oct. 24 at home against Oklahoma City (8 p.m. MT)
