Get ready for a legendary voice to return to the broadcast booth. The WNBA's highly anticipated arrival on NBC and Peacock in 2026 just got a major boost with the announcement that Hall of Famer Cheryl Miller will headline the network's studio coverage.

Miller, a name synonymous with women's basketball excellence, will join analysts Maria Taylor and Sue Bird in the NBC Sports studio. This marks a significant return to broadcasting for Miller, who hasn't been on air regularly since her NBA studio work ended in 2013. The moment she heard NBC was getting involved with the WNBA, she actively sought a way back in, and the network was eager to bring her on board.

"I'm super excited to be a part of the NBC team," Miller told The Athletic. "I'm hoping to bring an old-school, new-school, an 'I want to learn'-school type of feeling where I'm growing as the game is growing."

Her credentials are nothing short of iconic. While her playing career predated the league, Miller is considered one of the greatest to ever play the game. Her legendary 105-point high school game, back-to-back NCAA titles at USC, and an Olympic gold medal only scratch the surface. She later transitioned to the WNBA as the head coach and GM of the Phoenix Mercury, leading them to the Finals in 1998.

NBC Sports is clearly banking on her unique perspective to connect eras of the sport. "Cheryl Miller is synonymous with excellence in women’s basketball," said NBC Sports WNBA coordinating producer Betsy Riley. "Her ability to connect history, strategy, and today’s stars is unmatched."

True to her competitive nature, Miller is approaching this role like a player preparing for a new season. She plans to immerse herself in training camps, build relationships with coaches, and dive deep into the stories that define the modern WNBA—from the business of trades to the rise of new stars. For fans, this means unparalleled insight is coming to the broadcast, blending the game's rich history with its dynamic present.
