CBS Sports and the WNBA have expanded their partnership through a new long-term, multiplatform rights agreement. CBS Sports will feature up to 20 regular-season games annually on the CBS Television Network and Paramount+. For the 2026 season, CBS Sports will present 20 regular-season games, the most WNBA games the network has aired on broadcast television.
“The WNBA’s growth and cultural impact have never been stronger, and CBS Sports is proud to deepen our longstanding partnership with a league that continues to drive the evolution of women’s sports,” says Dan Weinberg, Executive Vice President, Programming, CBS Sports. “With our entire schedule of games on broadcast television, we are broadening the league’s reach and amplifying the WNBA’s momentum with best-in-class coverage that reflects the excellence of its athletes and resonates with fans.”

Lisa Leslie will join as analyst, Jenny Dell as host, and Renee Montgomery returns as analyst.
