Overview

• Beginning in 2026, USA Network will carry at least 50 WNBA games each season with portions of the Playoffs and Finals in select years through 2036.
• Coverage will center on weekly Wednesday night doubleheaders with pregame and postgame studio shows, with on-air teams and production details to be announced.
• For years when Versant holds Finals rights starting in 2026, games will be split between USA Network and NBC, according to the league’s announcement.
• The agreement follows Comcast’s plan to spin off its cable networks into Versant by late 2025, creating unresolved questions about cost-sharing and talent across the NBCU–Versant divide.
• The deal layers onto the WNBA’s broader 11-year package with Disney, Amazon and NBCU reported at about $200 million annually, as Versant grows its women’s sports slate with League One Volleyball and extended USGA rights.
