SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Jazz will allow up to 5,600 fans to fill the seats at Vivint Smart Home Arena as the team resumes the 2020-21 season Friday.
The organization has allowed incrementally higher numbers of fans at its games, starting with 1,900 in December, in accordance with local COVID-19 safety protocols.

Most recently, the team allowed slightly under 5,000 fans at its game against the Lakers prior to the All-Star break.
Salt Lake County's recent move from "high" to "moderate" on the state's COVID-19 transmission index loosens restrictions in the county and allows larger groups of people gather.
