How to watch Dallas Wings in 2026: TV schedule for Paige Bueckers, Azzi Fudd and company

For the first time in a long time, the Dallas Wings feel like must-see TV. The WNBA has obliged — 36 of Dallas’ 44 regular-season games are on national TV, second-most in the league.

The Wings bring Paige Bueckers back for year No. 2, fresh off her Rookie of the Year campaign. They add another blue-chip draft pick in Azzi Fudd, who won an NCAA national championship alongside Bueckers at UConn. Dallas also rolls into this hyped season with free-agent splash Alanna Smith, last season’s Co-Defensive Player of the Year. And mainstay bucket-getter Arike Ogunbowale pursues her fifth All-Star nod — and her first playoff berth in three years.

As the WNBA grows in scope and viewership, its broadcast rights expand across over-the-air networks, cable channels and streaming exclusives. Consider this your one-stop guide for the Wings’ TV schedule, sorted by regional and national listings. Don’t forget to follow The Athletic’s WNBA coverage and the “No Offseason” podcast this season, too.

All times listed below are ET. All prices are updated as of May 2026.

You can watch in-market and nationally televised WNBA games on Fubo (Stream Free Now). Out-of-market viewers can stream regional games with WNBA League Pass.

Out-of-market vs. in-market fans

For fans outside the Wings’ market

A majority of the Wings’ games are on national TV, which means they are available to fans anywhere in the U.S., without restrictions. The rotation includes ABC, ESPN, CBS, ION, NBA TV, NBC, Peacock/NBCSN, Prime Video and USA Network.

Most of those are accessible through a pay TV service — cable, satellite, Fubo, YouTube TV, Sling, etc. — though some require an expanded package or subscription.

However, whether you’re a dedicated Dallas expat or a Bueckers-Fudd obsessive since the UConn days, all out-of-market fans need WNBA League Pass to watch the eight games this season that aren’t on national TV.

Average monthly cost: $85-$100 for pay TV and $14.99 (or $39.99/year) for WNBA League Pass.

For fans in the Wings’ market

All games outside of the national TV schedule fall to a team’s local broadcast partner. For the Wings, that’s KFAA (channel 29). It carries 24 regular-season games this year, including eight exclusives.

In-market Wings fans need a pay TV package with KFAA, or a basic broadcast antenna for free over-the-air access.

Average monthly cost: $85-$100 for pay TV, depending on the provider. KFAA is also free with an antenna.

ABC and ESPN

These two channels are both operated by the Walt Disney Company, so they are available with a Disney+ and Hulu bundle as well. ESPN Deportes has Spanish-language coverage.

This summer, ESPN will debut a “Women’s Sports Sundays” block with W action as its centerpiece. Later this fall, the Disney networks will have two first-round playoff series, plus one of the two semifinal matchups. Expect to hear Ryan Ruocco and his famous “you bet!” call in clutch moments.

ABC and ESPN are home to All-Star weekend festivities, to be held at the United Center in Chicago for the first time ever.

Last season, CBS aired the WNBA’s first primetime regular-season games on broadcast television. This year, the network returns for a full 20 telecasts, which can also be streamed on Paramount+.

CBS Sports’ main announcing team has Jordan Kent handling play-by-play duties, Isis “Ice” Young on commentary and Tiffany Blackmon as the sideline reporter. Jenny Dell hosts the lead pregame show, with Lisa Leslie and Renee Montgomery in the studio.

One of this season’s highlights is a weeklong, 24-game WNBA Pride campaign. The title sponsor, Coach, is set to donate $100 per made free throw (up to $200,000) during these Pride contests.

The Commissioner’s Cup, the league’s in-season tournament with cash prizes on the line, is back for the sixth go-around. One of the Wings’ tournament games will air on ION. The network will also close out Rivals Week, which pairs teams with playoff history or longstanding beef.

NBC and NBCSN/Peacock

NBC broadcast the first-ever WNBA game back in 1997. It then left the rotation for more than two decades, and now returns amid the league’s surging popularity. That means more “Roundball Rock” throughout 2026.

Games with Peacock as the primary broadcaster have a linear TV equivalent on the NBCSN channel. In-market Dallas viewers get the Wings’ two Peacock games on KFAA as well.

The studio team includes Sue Bird and Cheryl Miller. Play-by-play is handled by Zora Stephenson, Noah Eagle and Michael Grady. NBC will have one of the two semifinal playoff series, plus part of the WNBA Finals. Games 1 and 4 will be on NBC, and every game will be available on the Peacock app.

Prime Video

For the sixth straight year, Prime has exclusive rights to the Commissioner’s Cup championship game. But new this season, it also gets a first-round playoff series.

Accordingly, the streaming behemoth has upped investment in its WNBA coverage. Retired greats Cynthia Cooper and Teresa Weatherspoon are new additions to the Prime roster. They join fellow Hall of Famers Swin Cash and Candace Parker, who are among the analysts. Grady, pulling double duty with his NBC role, headlines the play-by-play talent. Allie Clifton anchors pregame, halftime and postgame programming.

Prime has two Dallas games that will also be available for in-market viewers.
