The WNBA is kicking off its 30th season with massive national TV exposure. As part of a new long-term media rights deal, CBS Sports will broadcast a record 20 regular-season games on the CBS network (and stream them on Paramount+). That's a big jump in visibility for the league.

Every game will be preceded by the WNBA Tip-Off Show, hosted by Jenny Dell and featuring WNBA legend Lisa Leslie and Atlanta Dream co-owner Renee Montgomery.

The lead broadcast team returns with Jordan Kent on play-by-play, Isis Young as analyst, and Tiffany Blackmon on the sidelines.

The full 2026 WNBA regular season tips off on May 8 and runs through September 24, with a break for the FIBA Women's World Cup from September 1–16. All 20 CBS games air on broadcast television.
