To stream a WNBA game, check that matchup’s “Where Can I Watch” or “Tap to Watch” listing in the current WNBA schedule, then open the listed broadcaster’s app or channel. League Pass carries selected live games and replays on supported TVs, phones, tablets, and the web, but U.S. and Canadian blackouts mean it does not show every game live.
Where can I watch a specific WNBA game?
There is no single app that carries every live game. The 2026 schedule distributes games among ABC and ESPN, NBC and Peacock/NBCSN, Prime Video, CBS and Paramount+, ION, USA Network, and NBA TV. Some game listings may also identify Disney+. Check the matchup itself rather than choosing a service from a season-wide channel total: broadcast assignments and local restrictions differ by game. The WNBA’s 2026 national broadcast schedule describes the partners, while the current game listing is the practical guide to where a particular broadcast is available.
Use this quick path:
- Open the current WNBA schedule and find the exact matchup.
- Read its “Where Can I Watch” or “Tap to Watch” entry and note the named service or channel.
- Open that broadcaster’s app or website, or tune to the listed TV channel. If the listing points to League Pass, use WNBA.com, the WNBA app, or a supported connected-TV device.
- If you plan to watch through League Pass in the U.S., check the package page’s ZIP-code lookup for local restrictions before subscribing.
The WNBA says the 2026 regular season has 330 games across 15 teams, with 216 national games. The schedule’s partner totals describe the season, not a guarantee that a service carries any one game.
How to watch on a TV
For League Pass games
The WNBA lists Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and Android TV among League Pass viewing options. Install or open the WNBA app on a supported device, sign in to the account with the subscription, and select the game. The WNBA League Pass support page lists supported platforms. It does not certify every model, so verify compatibility for the exact TV or streaming-device model and current app before buying hardware.

For a broadcaster’s game
Use the TV channel or streaming app named in the game listing—for example, ABC/ESPN, Peacock, Prime Video, Paramount+, ION, USA Network, or NBA TV, depending on the matchup. Having League Pass does not replace access to a national broadcaster’s live stream when the game is excluded from League Pass.
How to watch on a phone, tablet, or computer
Phone or tablet
For League Pass games, use the WNBA app on iPhone or iPad, or an Android phone or tablet. For a game assigned to another broadcaster, use that service’s app. The League Pass app does not remove blackout restrictions.

What League Pass includes—and what it does not
League Pass provides selected live games and on-demand content. The WNBA says the service includes full-game replays of every game, hundreds of classic games, enhanced video controls, selected Spanish ESPN Deportes feeds, and viewing on up to three devices at once. NBA TV is included with League Pass for the 2026 season, subject to local blackouts, according to the League Pass support page.

Live access is limited by location and broadcast rights:
- United States: Nationally televised games and locally televised games involving the viewer’s local team are excluded from live League Pass. The WNBA blackout FAQ identifies national services including ABC, ESPN/ESPN2, CBS, Disney+, Prime Video, NBC, Peacock, and USA Network; it also lists CBS Sports Network and NBA TV among national exclusions. Since the blackout help page does not repeat every service in the FAQ, use the game listing and ZIP-code lookup rather than treating any abbreviated channel list as exhaustive.
- Canada: Games carried nationally on TSN, Sportsnet (SN), CTV, and CTV2 are not live on League Pass.
- Other countries: Availability and local broadcast restrictions vary. The WNBA says League Pass is available globally except in Belarus, China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Syria, and Ukraine; its availability page specifies Crimea, Donetsk People’s Republic, and Luhansk People’s Republic.
For U.S. subscribers, the WNBA says nationally blacked-out games become available on League Pass at 6 a.m. Eastern the following day. Locally blacked-out games become available shortly after the game ends. These replay windows differ, so check the relevant listing if you are waiting to watch on demand. See the WNBA’s blackout guidance and availability details.
