  • CBS Sports has revealed their 2025 WNBA schedule, with eight games slated on the broadcast network for the second straight year.
  • This year, CBS presents a HISTORIC first when they present the WNBA's first ever regular season primetime game on network television - 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever visit 2024 WNBA All-Rookie member Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky on Saturday, June 7 at 8:00 PM ET on CBS.

On Thursday, the WNBA officially disclosed their national broadcast schedule for the upcoming 2025 WNBA season. The 2025 WNBA season marks the 29th season of play for the predominant league for women's basketball. Of course, the WNBA is coming off a historic 2024 campaign and looks to continue that success this season. As you might expect, the WNBA on CBS schedule was announced today and we are going to talk about right here on this blog. There will be eight games presented on the CBS broadcast network over the course of the 2025 WNBA season.

The WNBA could not be more popular than right now with the excitement around the sport at an all-time high. Several metrics that document this include the highest attendance over two decades and the most watched season in nearly a quarter of the century! Folks, the WNBA is FINALLY getting the respect that it rightfully deserves.

WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert talked about the historic 2024 WNBA season and a little taste of what is to come this year. “The WNBA is coming off a 2024 season in which incredible basketball and countless memorable performances paved the way for the WNBA to deliver a record-breaking season,” said WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert. “Now, with so much excitement around the player movement that took place this winter through free agency and trades, the WNBA’s broadcast and streaming partners in 2025 will spotlight the league’s superstars, rising stars and must-see matchups like never before.”

CBS will get their 2025 WNBA coverage underway on Saturday, May 24 at 1:00 PM (ET) when three-time WNBA champion Breanna Stewart and the reigning WNBA champion New York Liberty clash with Aliyah Boston and the Indiana Fever from Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

Then, two weeks later, CBS will broadcast a historic WNBA game on Saturday, June 7 when Elizabeth Williams and the Chicago Sky host DeWanna Bonner and the Indiana Fever at 8:00 PM (ET) at the United Center in Chicago. As I mentioned earlier, CBS's telecast of Sky-Fever game marks the first time that a WNBA matchup is scheduled for a primetime slot on network television. An additional Chicago-Indiana game will have a primetime spotlight on Saturday, August 9 when the same two clubs battle in Indianapolis.

Several teams will have three appearances on CBS this season, including the Chicago Sky, the reigning WNBA champions New York Liberty & and the Indiana Fever.
