World Feed[]

With the 2020 season being played all at one site, the WNBA decided to introduce a "World Feed" for non-ESPN broadcasts. Local markets had the option of using the World Feed or local broadcasters, but games on League Pass, NBAtv, Facebook, and CBSSN all used the world feed. All ESPN productions were also considered to be World Feed broadcasts. Currently the World Feed only existed for the 2020 season.

Twitter signed up to carry 10 WNBA broadcasts in 2020 and carried the contract over to 2021. The games focus more on analytics and use a mix of local pxp and analysts from the G League and the WNBA.

NBAtv will carry select games throughout the season. These games will remain available on WNBA League Pass and will be a simulcast of the world feed television broadcast.

CBS Sports Network[2][]

Beginning with the 2019 season CBSSN entered into a contract to broadcast a minimum of 40 WNBA games per season. It is a multi-year deal, but the length of the deal wasn't announced.

WNBA League Pass[]

Every game not broadcast on an ESPN Network or CBSSN is carried live for everyone to watch on WNBA League Pass. No blackouts apply outside of the ESPN and CBSSN productions.
