Aces land fourth-most national TV slots in WNBA’s 30th season

Aces land fourth-most national TV slots in WNBA’s 30th season

The Las Vegas Aces will have 33 of their 44 regular-season games broadcast on national platforms in 2026, the WNBA announced Wednesday. That total ranks fourth among the league’s 13 teams, underscoring the franchise’s elevated profile after winning three championships in four years.

The Indiana Fever lead all teams with all 44 games on national television, driven by the presence of superstar guard Caitlin Clark. The Dallas Wings are second with 36 nationally televised contests, featuring former UConn teammates Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd.

Locally, 26 Aces games will air on Las Vegas stations KMCC-TV (Channel 34) and KTNV-TV (Channel 13), the ABC affiliate, through the team’s partnership with Scripps Sports.

The national broadcast breakdown for the Aces: CBS (7 games), ABC and NBC (3 each), USA Network (9), Prime Video (4), ESPN, ION and Peacock (2 each), and NBA TV (1). Eleven games will be exclusive to KMCC, while some national broadcasts on NBA TV, Peacock and USA Network will be simulcast locally.

A highlight of the schedule is May 17, when the Aces host the Atlanta Dream in the first WNBA broadcast on NBC in 24 years. The WNBA’s milestone 30th season opens May 8. The Aces begin their title defense the following day against the Phoenix Mercury, their 2025 WNBA Finals opponent, at 12:30 p.m. on ABC, preceded by a championship ring ceremony.
