How to watch WNBA 2025: live stream games free from anywhere

The Lynx have punched their ticket, but the seven remaining playoff berths are still up for grabs

We're into the final few weeks of the regular season, and all but one playoff berth is yet to be filled. The Minnesota Lynx, last season's No.2 seeds and finalists, aren't leaving anything to chance this time. They've already secured postseason basketball, and are almost guaranteed top seeding.
You can watch WNBA 2025 from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free.
WNBA 2025 live streams: TV schedule, dates
The 2025 WNBA season started on May 16 and will conclude in October.
• U.S. — Ion, ESPN, ABC/ESPN3, NBA TV via Sling TV / Prime Video / CBS via Paramount Plus
• Watch anywhere — Try NordVPN 100% risk free
The reigning champion New York Liberty, Atlanta Dream and Phoenix Mercury are locked in a three-way battle for the No.2 seed, which might well go all the way down to the wire. The Dream are in the groove right now, thanks to Allisha Gray and Brionna Jones, while their direct rivals have stuttered of late.
It feels almost miraculous that the Indiana Fever won the Commissioner's Cup, given the almost comedic number of injuries they've suffered. Caitlin Clark has barely played all year and Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald are now out for the rest of the season, but the Fever are still in the mix.
Unless their fortunes change dramatically, this season's shaping up to be a write-off for the Dallas Wings, Chicago Sky and Connecticut Sun, who are a long way off even the Washington Mystics and Los Angeles Sparks, who themselves are on the outside looking in.
Check out all of the TV and streaming details below to find out how to watch WNBA 2025 from anywhere, including free options.
Watch WNBA live streams for FREE
You can watch 50 WNBA games free-of-charge in the U.S., courtesy of Sling.
Ion is broadcasting every Friday night double-header this season, and they're all being live streamed on Sling Freestream, the streaming platform's free tier.
Away from home? You may not be able to watch the action like you normally would due to regional restrictions. Fortunately, there’s an easy solution. Use a VPN to watch WNBA 2025 for free — we’ll show you how to do that below.
Watch WNBA 2025 from anywhere
Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the basketball on your usual subscription?
You can still watch WNBA 2025 live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are, making it ideal for viewers away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN — we explain why in our NordVPN review.
NordVPN deal: 3 Months Extra Free
Boasting lightning fast speeds, great features, streaming power, and class-leading security, NordVPN is our #1 VPN.
✅3 months extra FREE!
✅74% off usual price
Use Nord to unblock Sling to watch FREE WNBA coverage live online with our exclusive deal.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.K. and want to view an American service, you'd select U.S. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Sling or another streaming service and watch WNBA 2025.

For the 2025 season, WNBA games are being televised nationally on Ion, ESPN, ABC/ESPN3, NBA TV and CBS in the U.S..
If you've already cut the cord and don't have a cable package, you can get all of those channels through an OTT cable TV alternative.
Sling TV is one of the better options. As mentioned above, all 50 of the WNBA games on Ion will be available to live stream for free on Sling Freestream. Sling also includes ESPN and ESPN3 in its Orange plan, with prices starting from $46/month and your first month half-price.
You can add NBA TV via the $11 per month Sports Extra addon.
You can get ESPN and ESPN3 on the Sling TV Orange package. Sling is streaming an additional 50 games for free.
Sling Orange is also available in their industry defining $4.99 Day Pass, $9.99 Weekend Pass and $14.99 Week Pass.
PREFERRED PARTNERView Deal
CBS' WNBA coverage is available via Paramount Plus, which starts at $7.99 per month after a 7-day FREE trial.
A Prime Video subscription costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year after a 30-day FREE trial.

TNT Sports has the rights to WNBA basketball in the U.K..
You can get TNT through your TV package, or via the Discovery Plus streaming service. To get TNT you'll need the Premium package, which costs £30.99/month but will also give you Champions League, Europa League and Premier League football, motorsports, tennis, cycling, snooker and more.
If you're not in the U.K. right now but already subscribe to TNT Sports and Discovery Plus, try using NordVPN to watch the WNBA as if you were back at home.

TSN and Sportnet share the rights to WNBA basketball in Canada.
If you don't have cable, you could subscribe to TSN+ instead, which lets you get access to all TSN has to offer on an $8/month or $80/year subscription basis.
The Sportsnet Plus streaming service starts at $19.99/month.
Visiting Canada from the U.S.? Tap into your free Sling WNBA streams by using NordVPN to bypass geoblocking.
How to watch WNBA live streams in Australia

Basketball fans in Australia will find WNBA live streams on ESPN via Foxtel.
Don't have Foxtel and don't want to subscribe? Specialist streaming service Kayo Sports is also showing WNBA basketball, with its affordable, commitment-free plans starting from just $25/month, and hosting plenty of cricket, AFL, rugby, F1 and loads of other live sports besides.
There's also a 7-day FREE trial for anybody who hasn't used the service before.
Not in Australia right now? You can simply use a VPN like NordVPN to watch all the action on your Kayo account as if you were back home.
