WNBA Playoffs 2025: How to Watch Every Game Live Online

The 2025 WNBA Playoffs will consist of three rounds: a best-of-three first round, best-of-five Semi-Finals, and best-of-seven Finals. The postseason begins on Sunday, September 14, at 1 pm ET, with games broadcast on ABC, ESPN, and ESPN2. If necessary, Game 5 of the Semi-Finals will air on ESPNU.

To stream the games, viewers can use a live-TV streaming service that includes the mentioned networks. Sling TV is recommended as an affordable and customizable option. The Sling Orange & Blue plan, priced at $65.99/month, offers the most comprehensive network lineup, including ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC in select markets, making it ideal for watching nearly every playoff game.

For a cheaper, short-term option, Sling offers temporary streaming passes that provide access to the Sling Orange plan, which includes ESPN and ESPN2 but not ABC or ESPNU. Alternatively, a full monthly subscription to Sling Orange is available for $45.99/month, offering the same channels as a long-term cable replacement.

The first-day schedule includes four games: Golden State at Minnesota at 1 pm ET on ESPN, Indiana at Atlanta at 3 pm on ABC, New York at Phoenix at 5 pm on ESPN, and Seattle at Las Vegas at 10 pm on ESPN.
