WNBA Sets Record Broadcast Schedule

WNBA Sets Record Broadcast Schedule

The WNBA is set for an unprecedented level of media exposure in 2026, with a record 216 regular-season games scheduled for national broadcast.

This surge in coverage is largely driven by the arrival of Caitlin Clark, whose entire 44-game schedule with the Indiana Fever will be available to a national audience.

Major broadcast partners including ABC, CBS, NBC, and Amazon Prime Video will feature games throughout the season, which tips off on May 8.

The league's expansion of its broadcast footprint reflects the growing popularity and commercial potential of women's professional basketball.
