ESPN3[14]

ESPN3 will carry 18 games nationwide during the 2016 season. ESPN3 games will be a local simulcast of the home teams television broadcasts or will be a WNBA League Pass production.

NBA TV[15]

NBAtv will air 42 games during the 2016 season. These games will remain available on WNBA League Pass and will be a simulcast of the home teams television broadcast, if one is available. If a home feed isn't available, NBAtv will usually do their own nationwide neutral broadcast with the home teams broadcasters calling the match for NBAtv instead of using the road feed.

WNBA League Pass

Every game not broadcast on an ESPN Network is carried live for everyone to watch on WNBA League Pass. No blackouts apply outside of the ESPN productions. WNBA League Pass productions simulcast the home teams television broadcast when it is available. When it is not available, an exclusive stream is produced using the home teams broadcast partners with WNBA League Pass graphics.
