That means the new iteration of Sunday Night Basketball will feature WNBA games for the first time this May. It also means that The W's biggest stars, from Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers to A'ja Wilson and 2026 Number One Draft Pick Azzie Fudd, will all hit the court on NBC and Peacock this summer. Let's take a closer look at how you can catch every NBC Sports broadcast of the WNBA this season.

The WNBA season begins earlier in May, but NBC Sports' WNBA debut arrives May 17 with a Tip-Off Doubleheader. The action begins at 1:30 p.m. ET, when the defending WNBA Champion Las Vegas Aces head to Atlanta to face Angle Reese and the Atlanta Dream. You'll be able to catch that game live on NBC and streaming on Peacock

Later that evening, at 6 p.m. ET, Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever host the Seattle Storm in the first Peacock-exclusive game of the 2026 season.

The following day, May 18 at 8 p.m. ET, Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings will host the Washington Mystics in another Peacock-exclusive game. 

From then on, games will air almost weekly throughout the WNBA season, some in the Sunday Night Basketball slot on NBC, and others in what NBC Sports has dubbed WNBA Gametime matchups, many of them exclusive to Peacock.
