NEW YORK, April 10, 2024 – The WNBA announced today the schedule of games to be broadcast and streamed nationally during the 2024 regular season, which will tip off on Tuesday, May 14 and run through Thursday, Sept. 19.
The television and streaming schedule for the league’s 28th season features matchups across ESPN platforms (25 games, including nine on ABC, 14 on ESPN and two on ESPN2), CBS Television Network/Paramount+ (eight), CBS Sports Network (12), ION (43), NBA TV (40) and Prime Video (21). Additional information will be made available regarding Meta’s 20-game broadcast schedule and the schedule for other distributors.
In addition, ESPN platforms ABC, ESPN and ESPN2 – now in their 28th year of WNBA coverage – will broadcast every game of the WNBA Playoffs presented by Google, which will feature up to 27 games, including the WNBA Finals presented by YouTube TV.
The current national television and streaming schedule is available here.
“With the energy and excitement already generated by what we anticipate will be a star-studded rookie class, and on the heels of a 2023 season that featured one of the greatest MVP races in WNBA history and our most-watched regular season in over two decades, the WNBA’s broadcast and streaming partners are offering a huge national platform that will showcase the league’s superstars, rising stars, rivalries and a newly reconfigured WNBA Commissioner’s Cup presented by Coinbase,” said WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert.
The 2024 WNBA television and streaming schedule will feature all 12 WNBA teams, with a significant focus on the Indiana Fever, two-time defending WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces, New York Liberty, Dallas Wings and Phoenix Mercury.
Indiana, which is positioned to add the No. 1 overall selection in the 2024 WNBA Draft presented by State Farm (Monday, April 15 at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN) to a roster that features 2023 Kia WNBA Rookie of the Year Aliyah Boston, will have 36 of its 40 games featured by the WNBA’s national broadcast and streaming partners. The Fever will be featured eight times across ABC, ESPN and ESPN2, eight times on ION and twice on the CBS Television Network. In addition, Indiana will be highlighted 13 times on NBA TV, four times on Prime Video, and once on CBS Sports Network.
Las Vegas looks to become the first team to win three consecutive WNBA titles since the Houston Comets won the league’s first four championships from 1997-2000. With a roster featuring two-time Kia WNBA Most Valuable Players A’ja Wilson and Candace Parker, 2023 All-Stars Chelsea Gray, Kelsey Plum and Jackie Young, and the 2023 Kia WNBA Sixth Player of the Year Alysha Clark, the Aces will make the second most appearances across all platforms (35).
New York, which reached the WNBA Finals presented by YouTube TV and won the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup presented by Coinbase last season behind 2023 Kia WNBA MVP Breanna Stewart, 2021 Kia WNBA MVP Jonquel Jones, 2023 All-WNBA Second Team selection Sabrina Ionescu and seven-time WNBA assists leader Courtney Vandersloot, will have the third most games (31) presented by the league’s broadcast and streaming partners.
Las Vegas and New York will meet three times during the regular season, once each on ABC, CBS Television Network and ESPN.
Dallas, led by Arike Ogunbowale, the only player in WNBA history to rank among the top five scorers in each of her first five seasons, and 2023 Kia WNBA Most Improved Player Satou Sabally, will appear 25 times across the league’s platforms. Phoenix, led by WNBA career points leader Diana Taurasi, nine-time All-Star Brittney Griner and new additions in 2021 WNBA Finals MVP Kahleah Copper and two-time WNBA All-Defensive Team selection Natasha Cloud, also will be featured 25 times.
