The Fever’s game against the Sun will also stream on Disney+, a first for the WNBA and the streaming platform.

“In March, we successfully launched Hulu on Disney+, bringing extensive general entertainment content to the platform for bundle subscribers [and] we’re encouraged by the early results,” Iger said during this past Tuesday’s second quarter earnings call. “By the end of this calendar year, we will be adding an ESPN tile to Disney+, giving all U.S. subscribers access to select live games and studio programming within the Disney+ app.”
Additional streaming options include the WNBA League Pass, which is available on Apple and Android devices as well as via YouTube. The WNBA League Pass is available for $34.99 a year or $12.99 a month.
WNBA games also stream on Amazon Prime Video, Freevee, Fubo and DirecTV.
