For the first time in the Denver Nuggets' history, Altitude Sports is broadcasting the team's home games in Spanish. Kroenke Sports and Entertainment has contracted a team of three people, including two commentators and a producer, to provide Spanish-language commentary that is synced with the traditional Altitude broadcast video and shared on the Altitude Plus application.

Why it matters

The move to offer Spanish-language broadcasts of Nuggets games is seen as an important step in expanding access and engagement for the team's large Latino fan base, especially as the team has found success in recent years.

The details

The Spanish-language broadcast team consists of play-by-play commentator Jena Garcia, color commentator Andres Casas, and producer Ivan De La Garza. They aim to bring the same level of energy and excitement to the basketball broadcasts as is typical of Spanish-language soccer broadcasts, in order to connect with the Nuggets' growing Latino fanbase.

  • The Spanish-language broadcasts began for the 2026 NBA playoffs.
