The Boston Celtics Radio Network is a radio network that broadcasts Boston Celtics basketball games with a flagship station of WBZ-FM (98.5). Carried in 5 of the 6 New England states, the network has 27 stations (17 on AM, 10 on FM, plus 4 FM translators).

Certain of these stations, including flagship WBZ-FM, also have commitments to carry games of the New England Patriots (football) and Boston Bruins (hockey), and Celtics games may be pre-empted.

From 2005 until 2013, Celtics games had been carried on Entercom-owned stations WRKO and WEEI. That partnership ended in August 2013. In September 2013, the Celtics announced that they had signed a multi-year deal with CBS Radio to broadcast games on their network.[1] CBS Radio and Entercom merged in 2017.[2]
