There is no single service carrying every WNBA game live. For a U.S. game in 2026, find the matchup on the official WNBA schedule first, then use its listed TV or streaming partner. National games are spread across ABC/ESPN, NBC/Peacock/NBCSN, Prime Video, CBS/Paramount+, ION, USA Network, and NBA TV. League Pass covers eligible out-of-market live games and replays, but local and national blackouts apply.
How to find where tonight’s WNBA game is airing
- Open the WNBA schedule. Select the date and locate the matchup you want. The 2026 national assignments vary by game, so the league-wide partner list alone cannot tell you which service has a particular matchup.
- Check the broadcast and streaming listing for that game. Use the listed network or service to watch live. If it is a local broadcast, check your team’s local listing as well.
- Check your location and access before subscribing. If you plan to use League Pass, enter your ZIP code in its availability lookup to see whether the game is available live in your market.
The WNBA’s April 22, 2026 schedule release lists 216 nationally distributed games out of 330 regular-season games. Those are schedule totals, not a promise that every game is live on one service or available to every viewer.

Which TV channels and streaming services carry WNBA games in 2026?
The league’s 2026 U.S. national distribution slate uses several broadcasters and streaming services. Check the schedule for the specific game; the counts below are the totals reported in the WNBA release, not a guide to an individual matchup.
What’s actually slowing this PC down?
Pick the symptom - the matching free tool is one click away.
| Broadcaster or service | 2026 schedule assignment | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| ABC and ESPN | 13 games on ABC; 17 on ESPN | Look up the matchup to see which network carries it. |
| NBC, Peacock, and NBCSN | 7 games on NBC; 15 on Peacock/NBCSN | Every WNBA Finals game is on Peacock, with each also televised on NBC or USA Network. |
| Prime Video | 30 regular-season games | Prime Video exclusively streams the Commissioner’s Cup Championship Game. |
| CBS and Paramount+ | 20 games | The schedule release says the games air on CBS and stream on Paramount+. |
| ION | 50 games | Check the schedule for the specific listing. |
| USA Network | 48 games | Also carries a televised showing of each WNBA Finals game. |
| NBA TV | 15 games | Check the schedule for the specific listing. |
These are counts as published by the WNBA for its 2026 schedule. They should not be added together as unique games: the release does not establish that every platform count represents a separate, non-overlapping matchup.

What League Pass shows live—and when blackouts apply
WNBA League Pass offers live out-of-market games, on-demand games, full-game replays, and classic games. Live access depends on your location and broadcast rights, so a subscription does not guarantee that a particular local or nationally televised game will be live on League Pass.
National broadcasts in the U.S.
U.S. nationally televised games are not shown live on League Pass. The WNBA says they become available on the service at 6 a.m. ET the following day.

Devices and availability outside the United States
The WNBA lists access through its website and app, with supported platforms including iPhone and iPad, Android devices, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and Android TV. The precise supported-device list can change; consult the league’s League Pass help page for current details.
The national partner list in this guide describes the 2026 U.S. schedule, not worldwide coverage. When the WNBA released that schedule on April 22, 2026, it said Canadian broadcast and streaming information would be announced later. Viewers elsewhere should check local listings and current service eligibility rather than assume a U.S. partner carries games in their country.
