Fueled by the arrival of young stars including Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Paige Bueckers, and now Azzi Fudd and Olivia Miles, heated rivalries, sold-out arenas, and nonstop online debate, the league enters the new season with a level of visibility that feels fundamentally different from years past.
Furthermore, the league is more accessible to fans than ever before. The WNBA will have a record 216 nationally televised and streamed games during the 2026 regular season across ABC/ESPN, CBS, NBC, ION, USA Network, Prime Video, Peacock, and NBA TV. The Indiana Fever have the most national games with 44, followed by the youth filled Dallas Wings with 36, and the two veteran heavy rosters of the New York Liberty and Las Vegas Aces with 35 and 33 games respectively.
