ESPN3

ESPN3 will carry at least 16 games nationwide during the 2019 season. ESPN3 games will be a local simulcast of the home teams television broadcasts or will be a WNBA League Pass production.

NBA TV

NBAtv will carry select games throughout the season. These games will remain available on WNBA League Pass and will be a simulcast of the home teams television broadcast, if one is available. If a home feed isn't available, NBAtv will usually do their own nationwide neutral broadcast with the home teams broadcasters calling the match for NBAtv instead of using the road feed.

CBS Sports Network[2]

Beginning with the 2019 season CBSSN entered into a contract to broadcast a minimum of 40 WNBA games per season. It is a multi-year deal, but the length of the deal wasn't announced.

Twitter[3]

Beginning in 2017 Twitter signed a contract to stream 20 games per season that weren;t being shown on the ESPN Networks. The length of the contract was for 3 years (through 2019). Twitter games are also available on WNBA League Pass as well as local RSN's and aren't blacked out. The broadcasts on Twitter are streams of the home teams broadcast with WNBA League Pass graphics.

WNBA League Pass

Every game not broadcast on an ESPN Network, CBSSN, or Twitter is carried live for everyone to watch on WNBA League Pass. No blackouts apply outside of the ESPN and CBSSN productions. WNBA League Pass productions simulcast the home teams television broadcast when it is available. When it is not available, an exclusive stream is produced using the home teams broadcast partners with WNBA League Pass graphics.
