The WNBA and ESPN today announced that the league's 28th regular season, set to tip off on Tuesday, May 14, will be highlighted by 25 national broadcasts during the regular season across ABC, ESPN and ESPN2. ESPN Deportes, ESPN's Spanish-language network, will air select games throughout the season.

During the upcoming season, the WNBA will collaborate with ESPN to present up to 52 possible games beginning with the WNBA regular season presented by Google and extending through the WNBA Playoffs presented by Google, which will feature up to 27 games, including the WNBA Finals presented by YouTube TV. In addition, for the second consecutive year, the AT&T WNBA All-Star Game will air in primetime on ABC from Phoenix (8:30 p.m. ET).

Added coverage will be provided by WNBA Countdown presented by Google - ESPN's pregame show introduced during the 2022 WNBA postseason - which returns for the regular season with at least 10 editions immediately preceding game broadcasts.

The ABC/ESPN/ESPN2 broadcast schedule gets underway on Tuesday, May 14, as part of WNBA Tip-Off presented by CarMax with a doubleheader that will feature the Indiana Fever, which is positioned to add the No. 1 overall selection in the 2024 WNBA Draft presented by State Farm (Monday, April 15 at 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN) to a roster that features 2023 Kia WNBA Rookie of the Year Aliyah Boston, visiting the Connecticut Sun (ESPN2, 7:30 p.m. ET). The Sun are led by Alyssa Thomas, the 2023 Kia WNBA MVP runner-up and the league's all-time triple-doubles leader, and DeWanna Bonner, a five-time All-Star whose 6,881 career points rank third among active players.

In the second game of the night, Las Vegas - led by two-time Kia WNBA Most Valuable Players A'ja Wilson and Candace Parker, 2023 All-Stars Chelsea Gray, Kelsey Plum, and Jackie Young, and the 2023 Kia WNBA Sixth Player of the Year Alysha Clark - tips off its quest to become the first team to win three consecutive WNBA titles since the Houston Comets won the league's first four championships from 1997-2000, when they host the Phoenix Mercury (ESPN2, 10 p.m. ET). Phoenix is led by WNBA career points leader Diana Taurasi, nine-time All-Star Brittney Griner and new additions in 2021 WNBA Finals MVP and three-time All Star Kahleah Copper and two-time WNBA All-Defensive Team selection Natasha Cloud. The game will be preceded by a WNBA Countdown presented by Google edition which will feature coverage of the Aces Championship Ring Ceremony and Championship Banner Unveiling at 9:30 p.m. ET.

WNBA Tip-Off presented by CarMax also includes a star-studded ABC doubleheader on Saturday, May 18. Action tips off with the New York Liberty, which reached the WNBA Finals presented by YouTube TV last season behind 2023 Kia WNBA MVP Breanna Stewart, 2021 Kia WNBA MVP Jonquel Jones, 2023 All-WNBA Second Team selection Sabrina Ionescu and seven-time WNBA assists leader Courtney Vandersloot, welcoming Indiana (1 p.m. ET). In the second game, the Los Angeles Sparks, who have the second and fourth overall picks in the 2024 WNBA Draft presented by State Farm, visit Las Vegas (3 p.m. ET).

The 2024 WNBA ESPN schedule will feature all 12 WNBA teams, with blockbuster matchups showcased. Indiana Fever, positioned to add the No. 1 overall selection in the 2024 WNBA Draft presented by State Farm, two-time defending champion Las Vegas Aces, and star-studded New York Liberty, will be featured eight times across ESPN platforms. Three of Indiana's first four games will air on ESPN platforms.

Las Vegas and New York, whose rosters feature a combined seven 2023 WNBA All-Stars and five 2023 All-WNBA Team selections, will meet two times in the regular season across ESPN platforms. The teams will go head-to-head on their first rematch of the 2023 WNBA Finals on Sunday, June 15 (ABC, 3 p.m. ET), and on Sunday, Sept. 8 on ESPN (4 p.m. ET).

Additional Highlights of the ABC/ESPN/ESPN2 Broadcast Schedule:

On Sunday, June 30 Indiana travels to Phoenix to face off against Taurasi (ESPN, 3 p.m. ET), and on Tuesday, July 2, Indiana will visit the 2023 Aces defending champion (ESPN, 9:30 p.m. ET).
