Out-of-market vs. in-market fans
For fans outside the Wingsâ market
A majority of the Wingsâ games are on national TV, which means they are available to fans anywhere in the U.S., without restrictions. The rotation includes ABC, ESPN, CBS, ION, NBA TV, NBC, Peacock/NBCSN, Prime Video and USA Network.
Most of those are accessible through a pay TV service â cable, satellite, Fubo, YouTube TV, Sling, etc. â though some require an expanded package or subscription.
However, whether youâre a dedicated Dallas expat or a Bueckers-Fudd obsessive since the UConn days, all out-of-market fans need WNBA League Pass to watch the eight games this season that arenât on national TV.
Average monthly cost: $85-$100 for pay TV and $14.99 (or $39.99/year) for WNBA League Pass.
For fans in the Wingsâ market
All games outside of the national TV schedule fall to a teamâs local broadcast partner. For the Wings, thatâs KFAA (channel 29). It carries 24 regular-season games this year, including eight exclusives.
In-market Wings fans need a pay TV package with KFAA, or a basic broadcast antenna for free over-the-air access.
Average monthly cost: $85-$100 for pay TV, depending on the provider. KFAA is also free with an antenna.
ABC and ESPN
These two channels are both operated by the Walt Disney Company, so they are available with a Disney+ and Hulu bundle as well. ESPN Deportes has Spanish-language coverage.
This summer, ESPN will debut a âWomenâs Sports Sundaysâ block with W action as its centerpiece. Later this fall, the Disney networks will have two first-round playoff series, plus one of the two semifinal matchups. Expect to hear Ryan Ruocco and his famous âyou bet!â call in clutch moments.
ABC and ESPN are home to All-Star weekend festivities, to be held at the United Center in Chicago for the first time ever.
Last season, CBS aired the WNBAâs first primetime regular-season games on broadcast television. This year, the network returns for a full 20 telecasts, which can also be streamed on Paramount+.
CBS Sportsâ main announcing team has Jordan Kent handling play-by-play duties, Isis âIceâ Young on commentary and Tiffany Blackmon as the sideline reporter. Jenny Dell hosts the lead pregame show, with Lisa Leslie and Renee Montgomery in the studio.
One of this seasonâs highlights is a weeklong, 24-game WNBA Pride campaign. The title sponsor, Coach, is set to donate $100 per made free throw (up to $200,000) during these Pride contests.Â
