WNBA Opening Weekend Schedule, Where To Watch Every Game

The WNBA opens its thirtieth season with stars Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, A’ja Wilson, and Paige Bueckers featured in nationally televised games across ABC and ION.

The WNBA is back, and its 30th season is shaping up to be the biggest and most electrifying yet. With a roster of superstar talent—including Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, A'ja Wilson, Paige Bueckers, and newcomers Azzi Fudd and Olivia Miles—the league is riding a wave of sold-out arenas, fiery rivalries, and nonstop buzz that has pushed women's basketball deeper into the mainstream than ever before. This isn't just another season; it's a cultural moment.

And the best part? You won't miss a second of the action. The WNBA has made history with a record 216 nationally televised and streamed games across ABC/ESPN, CBS, NBC, ION, USA Network, Prime Video, Peacock, and NBA TV. Leading the pack in national exposure is the Indiana Fever with 44 games, followed by the youth-fueled Dallas Wings (36 games), and veteran powerhouses like the New York Liberty (35 games) and Las Vegas Aces (33 games). Whether you're a die-hard fan or new to the game, it's easier than ever to tune in.

Opening weekend kicks off with a bang on Friday, May 8. The No. 2 preseason-ranked New York Liberty will host the Connecticut Sun at Barclays Center at 7:30 PM EST on ION and WNBA League Pass. Expect a fierce showdown as the Liberty look to set the tone early in front of their home crowd.

In the same time slot, history is made as the Toronto Tempo, led by former Liberty head coach Sandy Brondello, play their first-ever regular-season game. They'll welcome the Washington Mystics to Coca-Cola Coliseum, also airing on ION and WNBA League Pass. It's a fresh chapter for the league, and you'll want to be there for it.

Then, cap off the night with a West Coast battle that promises fireworks. The action doesn't stop there—so mark your calendars, grab your gear, and get ready for a season that's rewriting the playbook. Whether you're cheering from the stands or your living room, this is WNBA basketball at its finest.
