YouTube TV
YouTube TV gets you nearly every channel you’ll need for the 2026 WNBA season, including NBCSN, USA, ION, NBC, ABC, CBS, ESPN, and NBA TV. While the platform has announced it intends to give subscribers complimentary access to ESPN Unlimited, that integration has been delayed for the time being.
That being said, you can get a great deal on YouTube TV right now: $67.99/month for your first five months, then $82.99/month thereafter.
One thing to note: YouTube TV livestreams tend to run a slight delay, which isn’t ideal if you’re trying to keep up with the live game down to the exact second.
DirecTV
DirecTV’s Entertainment tier (currently $59.99/month plus fees for your first month) gets you access to nearly every channel you need to watch sports throughout the year, especially for the WNBA: USA, NBC, ABC, CBS, ESPN, and more. DirecTV Entertainment (and most other DirecTV plans) also come with free ESPN Unlimited, which gets you access to every ESPN channel, an amazing value and a must for watching tons of sports all year round.
DirecTV offers a free trial on any tier, so you can try it all out at low risk. After your free trial and new subscriber month deal on DirecTV’s Choice tier, the monthly price goes up to $89/month (plus fees). If you’re interested in trying a live TV streaming service but aren’t ready to commit, we recommend starting with DirecTV.
