The WNBA is about to have its biggest season yet; the league has expanded from 12 to 13 teams with the addition of the Golden State Valkyries, UConn superstar Paige Bueckers will make her rookie season debut, and players like Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, A'ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart are all returning to bring the heat. And this year, you can tune in to more WNBA games than ever, as more than 175 games will be broadcast nationally or will be available to stream throughout the season. This season, games will air across multiple channels and streaming platforms including ESPN, ABC, CBS/Paramount+, CBS Sports Network, Prime Video, Ion, NBA TV and WNBA League Pass. It can get confusing tracking down which games are on what channels, so if you're looking for some help understanding it all, we’ve got you covered.
We’ve broken down every way you can watch WNBA games, including the best subscription to stream the most WNBA games this season, and how to find the 2025 WNBA schedule. Here's the scoop.

What channels do I need to watch WNBA games live this season?
This season, you can catch a record number of WNBA games airing across the Disney Networks: 13 games on ESPN, 2 on ESPN3, and 13 games on ABC/ESPN+, including an opening weekend doubleheader on May 17 between the Las Vegas Aces and the New York Liberty at 1 p.m. ET and the Chicago Sky vs. Indiana Fever at 3 p.m. ET. Come September, Disney Networks will also exclusively air the WNBA Playoffs – up to 29 games – including the WBNA Finals. Select games streaming on ESPN+ will also be available on Disney+ if you have a Disney+/ESPN+ streaming bundle.
While it can be hard to keep track of every way to watch the WNBA, one good rule of thumb to remember is that Prime Video owns Thursday nights and ION is home to most Friday games. You can catch 20 matchups throughout the season on WNBA on Prime Video, as well as being able to stream the Championship Game of the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup mid-season tournament.
For Friday games, ION will broadcast 50 games over the regular season as part of its “State Farm WNBA Friday Night Spotlight” which features a weekly doubleheader
In addition, 40 games will air on NBA TV, 20 games will air on CBS Sports, and in a first, CBS will air the first-ever network broadcast of the WNBA in prime-time; on June 7 and August 9, the Chicago Sky will face off against the Indiana Fever for nationally broadcast evening games on the channel.
And for even more coverage, don't forget that WNBA League Pass will also be streaming over 200 games this season (blackouts apply), and many games will be airing in local markets – you can find out which local channels will broadcast which games on the WNBA schedule.
With so many channels and streaming platforms, here's a breakdown of the best ways to watch the WNBA this season without subscribing to all the things and paying all the money.
