No sweat, we’ve got you covered. Here’s a handy guide to the best deal in the women’s basketball biz: the WNBA League Pass 2024.
Today, we’ll walk you through what the League Pass costs, what it comes with, how to buy it, what devices you can watch the games on through the pass, and how to figure out what games are blacked out. (Pro tip: You’ll still be able to watch blacked out games, just not live as they happen.)
But before we jump into it, we’ve got to let you know the WNBA League Pass is an incredible deal – and yes, you should definitely buy it. It’s one of the best ways to catch every game, on your own schedule. And it’s a bargain price (basically the cost of a lunch)! Get it here.
League Pass is a webpage you can go to online, or a section you can access with the WNBA App on your phone, and watch all sorts of WNBA games in just a few clicks. You pay a one-time flat fee each season, and it gives you access for a whole year.
It includes most WNBA live regular season games and playoff games for 2024. You can watch the out-of-market games as they happen in real-time, or watch the recordings anytime later. There’s also a library of every recorded WNBA game since 2015 that you can watch anytime you want. Plus you can watch WNBA original series including League Pass exclusive Vibin’ with Chloe Jackson.
WNBA League Pass costs $34.99 per year, and $12.99 per month. Students can get League Pass for just $19.99 for the year.
When you buy the League Pass, you can watch the games by logging into your League Pass account on your computer, smartphone, tablet or internet-connected TV. League Pass lets you watch games from all 12 teams. League Pass offers 130 live season games. And hundreds of games from the 2015-2023 WNBA seasons are available on demand. Here’s how to watch:
League Pass works with ios and Android phones. Just download the WNBA App and then open up League Pass within the app. You can also watch WNBA video highlights, and see scores and stats. And if you want to be really locked in, you can get push notifications from the app for breaking news, injury updates and game alerts.
League Pass also works on computers (if you’re using a Mac, try using the Chrome browser) and tablets. You just need to be sure your internet is strong enough. A broadband internet connection (DSL/cable) of 750 kbps or higher is needed for WNBA League Pass. Then, just go to the pass webpage and login following the steps below.
League Pass also works with AppleTV (4th generation) and Chromecast (3rd generation). Just go to the AppleTV store on your TV and look for the WNBA – Live Basketball Games app. Or on your Chromecast search for the WNBA – Live Basketball Games & Scores app.
The updated WNBA League Pass experience is also available on Fire TV (via the Fire TV WNBA App), and includes personalized alerts.
Unfortunately, other devices such as Roku do not currently support League Pass.
However, some restrictions apply when it comes to watching the games live.
In the U.S., certain nationally televised games (currently, those on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, CBS, CBS Sports Network and Prime Video) are not available live on WNBA League Pass. Additionally, certain nationally televised games within Canada (currently, those on TSN, Sportsnet, CBS, CBS Sports Network, and Prime Video) and other countries internationally (currently, those on Prime Video) are not available live on WNBA League Pass.
Additionally, consistent with local distribution of major league sports’ teams’ games in the US, locally televised games may not be available LIVE on WNBA League Pass in the participating teams’ local areas if otherwise available via a team’s local regional sports network, broadcast or streaming partner.
So look at the WNBA’s upcoming schedule to see whether League Pass is listed and what channels are listed for the game you want to watch. For example below, the Liberty vs Fever is available only to watch live on Amazon Prime. Whereas Mystics vs. Sun is available for viewing on both League Pass and ion.
But the recording for the game will be available to you once it’s over in League Pass! So you can always log in and see all the action. Typically it’s available to watch as soon as the game ends.
So when you click to watch that game within League Pass while it’s live, you get a notification that it’s not available. But you can still see live game scores and how much time is left.
Then, when you login the next day, and click on the same game, you’ll actually be able to watch it.
