WNBA to Air All 2025 Preseason Games Nationally

For the first time in WNBA history, all 15 preseason games in 2025 will be nationally broadcast or streamed, reflecting surging demand for women's basketball. Four games will air on ESPN, ION, and NBA TV, while the rest are accessible via WNBA League Pass. Key matchups include Caitlin Clark's Indiana Fever facing Brazil at Iowa and Paige Bueckers’ Dallas Wings debut at Notre Dame as part of a doubleheader. Angel Reese will return to LSU as the Chicago Sky play Brazil, generating additional interest. The change follows record-breaking WNBA viewership and marks a significant shift from previous years, when only one preseason game had aired nationally. The regular season begins May 16 on ION, with an ABC doubleheader the next day.
