How to stream games on WNBA League Pass, other providers

For fans who want to stream games, WNBA League Pass is your most comprehensive option.

For $16.99, you can access every team's games (subject to local and national blackout restrictions). This includes multi-game viewing and live DVR. All games will also be available on demand.

If you're a fan of a single team, you can purchase the team pass for $9.99 (blackout restrictions still apply).

League Pass is available on Apple TV and can be streamed on mobile, tablets and Chromecast.

ESPN and CBS also will have streaming games available. All ESPN games will be available on the ESPN app, but you'll need a cable provider. CBS games will also air on the Paramount+ platform.

Amazon Prime Video is available through your Amazon Prime account.

Finally, Twitter and Facebook will stream a number of games. On the WNBA's official Twitter feed, 12 games will be available live with fan interactions and engagements. The WNBA Facebook page will broadcast 20 games and will also be available on Oculus.
