Sling Orange + Blue is a live TV streaming service that lets you watch WNBA games on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3 and ABC online for games during the 2025 WNBA season. The streamer’s Sling Orange + Blue package has all four cable networks — along with more than 45 other channels. The cable alternative streamer’s plan goes $33 for the first month ($65.99/Month afterwards) — with Sling’s current deals.

In addition, there are games airing on NBA TV. You can add the Sling Sports Extra package, which goes for an additional $11/month for NBA TV. The add-on also comes with SEC Network, ESPNews, NHL Network, MLB Strike Zone and other sports channels.

Please note: Pricing and channel availability depends on your local TV market.

With ESPN, ABC, ION, ESPN2 and NBA TV, DirecTV is one of the best ways to stream WNBA games live online. However, there will be select games that won’t be available on DirecTV (including a few games broadcasting on CBS, which DirectTV does not include in any of its packages).

Another great options, especially with its 7-day free trial, is Fubo. It’s one of the most comprehensive ways to tune into the 2025 WNBA season. The streaming service offers access to ESPN, ESPN2, ABC, CBS, CBS Sports Network, NBA TV and ION — in addition to more than 225 live channels.

Hulu + Live TV has ESPN, ESPN2, ABC, CBS and CBS Sports Network, meaning you’ll be able to catch nearly every game of the WNBA 2025 season on the streamer. While the streamer’s Live TV package is pricey after the free trial ($82.99/month) you get bang for your buck, with access to all of Hulu’s award-winning original shows, thousands of movies on-demand and access to both Disney+ and ESPN+ through its bundle package.

A few games of the 2025 WNBA season will broadcast on CBS and be available to stream live on the network’s streaming platform, Paramount+.

Select games throughout the 2025 WNBA season will be available stream on Prime Video, which currently offers a 30-day free trial. Select games stream live on Prime Video for the rest of the 2025 season.
