The WNBA released its 2026 regular-season schedule, which will feature a record 216 games and tentpole events carried on national broadcasts. The campaign marks the first season under the league's new media rights deal, which includes partnerships with Disney, Amazon Prime Video, CBS/Paramount+ and Scripps, new partners NBCUniversal and USA Sports, and continued distribution on NBA TV.

The Indiana Fever will have all 44 of their games nationally broadcast, the most of any team. The Dallas Wings will have 36 nationally televised games, followed by the New York Liberty with 35 and the Las Vegas Aces with 33.

Disney Networks will present 30 games in 2026, including 13 on ABC and 17 on ESPN. ABC's broadcasts will include the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game. Prime Video will distribute 30 games, including the Commissioner's Cup championship game. USA Network will present 48 games, while CBS will air 20 games on broadcast television, with those matchups also available on Paramount+. ION will carry 50 games on the league's Friday slate. NBA TV, Peacock and NBCSN will each showcase 15 games, and NBC will broadcast seven games during the regular season.

"The WNBA is coming off a landmark season in 2025, one that was defined by incredible basketball and countless memorable performances," WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert said in announcing the schedule. "With an incredible 2026 draft and so many notable free agency signings and trades now giving way to the start of the season, the WNBA's unprecedented lineup of linear and streaming partners will shine a light on must-see matchups, and the remarkable skills the WNBA's stars provide each time they step on the court."

The postseason will also be distributed across the league's expanded roster of partners. Disney Networks will air two first-round playoff series, with USA Network and Prime Video each airing one. Semifinal series will be split among Disney Networks, NBC, Peacock and NBCSN, with each carrying one. All 2026 WNBA Finals games will air on NBC or USA Network and will be streamed on Peacock.
