PHOENIX – The Phoenix Suns announced Tuesday their broadcast schedule for the 2017-18 season, featuring 81 games on the team's exclusive local television station, FOX Sports Arizona and FOX Sports Arizona Plus, continuing a long-standing partnership that began with the 2003-04 season.

The Suns will also play one nationally broadcast game aired exclusively on TNT.

The 50th season of Suns basketball will tip off on FOX Sports Arizona with the home opener at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 18, at Talking Stick Resort Arena when the Suns host the Portland Trail Blazers .

As announced in May, veteran broadcaster Kevin Ray will serve as the new Suns television play-by-play announcer on FOX Sports Arizona. Ray has been part of Suns telecasts for the past 15 years, previously serving as the team's sideline reporter the last five seasons and, prior to that, as host of the Suns pre and postgame shows. Ray will team up with long-time color analysts Eddie Johnson and Ann Meyers Drysdale. Suns digital reporter Lindsey Smith will replace Ray in sideline reporting duties.

All 81 FOX Sports Arizona broadcasts will include "Suns Live" pre and post-game shows, hosted by Tom Chambers and Tom Leander. FOX Sports Arizona games will also be streamed live on FOX Sports GO, which can be accessed through the Official Suns Mobile App.

Seven of the games will be carried on FOX Sports Arizona Plus: Oct. 31 (at Brooklyn), Nov. 6 (vs. Brooklyn), Nov. 24 (vs. New Orleans), Dec. 7 (vs. Washington), Feb. 10 (vs. Denver), March 24 (at Orlando) and April 3 (vs. Sacramento).
