The WNBA 2026 National TV schedule can be explained in one sentence.
Every game the Indiana Fever play, led by Caitlin Clark, will be nationally broadcast.
All 44 games.
This season’s WNBA 2026 National TV schedule tells you where the league is right now.
The league is coming off a surge in interest, and the response is simple. Put the games where people can actually watch them.
Plus, all 216 WNBA games will be available across national TV and major streaming platforms this season.
Why Clark Is Driving This
Caitlin Clark brings something the league has never seen before.
A rock star-level fan base that followed her from the Iowa Hawkeyes to the Indiana Fever.
They follow her every move. They fill arenas. They turn regular season games into events.
This WNBA National TV schedule was built for them and them alone.
If you are a Clark fan, you do not have to search for games anymore. Every single one is available.
There is one concern.
Clark missed significant time in 2025, and the league felt it. If that happens again, it is not just a team issue. It becomes a league issue because so much of the attention is tied to her being on the floor.
Other Teams Still Get the Spotlight
The Dallas Wings did not make the playoffs last season, but the reunion of Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd should draw attention if the team is competitive.
They are second in national exposure behind Indiana, but I have them a generous ninth in my WNBA preseason power rankings, and a non-playoff team hogging up the cameras might not be such a good idea.
The New York Liberty remain one of the league’s most reliable draws. Their 35 national games reflect that.
The defending champion Las Vegas Aces, led by A’ja Wilson, getting fewer national games than Dallas, is hard to justify based on results alone.
And then there is the Atlanta Dream.
With Angel Reese now in the mix, 28 appearances feel light for a player who draws attention every time she steps on the court, and a team I believe is the second-best WNBA team in the league.
In any event, it should make it easier for more fans to enjoy and appreciate the WNBA as much as we do.
