Prime Video has confirmed its schedule for the 2026 WNBA season, featuring 30 exclusive regular-season games, the Commissioner’s Cup Championship, and exclusive postseason coverage. Prime’s coverage of the WNBA’s 30th season begins on May 15th when the Minnesota Lynx meet 2025 WNBA Rookie of the Year Paige Bueckers (pictured), #1 Draft Pick Azzi Fudd and the Dallas Wings. Prime’s opening night continues with the New York Liberty vs the newcomer Portland Fire.

As part of Prime Video’s broadcast in the UK and Ireland, coverage will feature WNBA on Prime Pregame, a 30-minute show prior to every game live from Amazon Studios in Culver City. In addition, every game will be followed by WNBA Nightcap, a postgame show featuring player interviews and in-depth analysis of the game. For doubleheaders, Prime will bridge games with The Crossover, continuing live coverage from the studio.

The on-air broadcasting team includes Hall of Famers Swin Cash, Candace Parker, Cynthia Cooper and Teresa Weatherspoon, former WNBA player and current NBA assistant coach Lindsey Harding, two-time Olympic gold medalist and current Duke University Women’s Basketball head coach Kara Lawson, veteran broadcaster LaChina Robinson and former WNBA player and coach Ty Young. Play-by-play voices include Michael Grady, Lisa Byinton and Mike Watts, as well as respected sports broadcasters JayDee Dyer, Kayla Grey and Morgan Ragan who will serve as sideline reporters. Allie Clifton, NBA on Prime sideline reporter, will serve as the studio host for WNBA on Prime’s pregame, halftime and postgame coverage.

“We are thrilled to expand our partnership with the WNBA, and are excited to deliver comprehensive coverage that celebrates the game and tells the stories of these amazing athletes” said Jared Stacy, Prime Video VP of Global Live Sports Production. “As the WNBA enters its 30th season, we look forward to honouring the league’s rich history while providing insightful analysis and compelling storytelling about today’s game and stars.”
