About 12News
KPNX is the NBC affiliate for Phoenix and much of Arizona. Its signal reaches the north of the state through KNAZ-TV in Flagstaff, a full-time satellite that simulcasts 12News, so viewers searching for KNAZ live end up on the same stream.
Weekday mornings begin with Today in AZ, and Arizona Midday covers lifestyle and community stories. The station also offers 12 News en Español coverage online.
Its parent TEGNA became a Nexstar subsidiary in 2026 but, under a federal court Hold Separate Order, continues to operate independently for now.
Watching 12News on a computer, phone or TV
Computer: the official button above opens the live player on 12news.com in a new tab. Any up-to-date browser should work.
Phone or tablet: 12News says its mobile app is required to stream on a phone, so install it from your app store.

Tips for watching 12News online
If the page loads but the video stays black, refresh once or switch browsers. On a phone or TV, the station’s free app is usually more reliable than the mobile website.
Most local news streams are free to watch anywhere in the U.S., but some segments, sports highlights or network-produced content can be blocked online or limited by location.
The official player lives on the station’s own website, so it may ask you to allow video or pause an ad blocker before it starts. A short ad before the stream is normal for free local news.
