Then, in primetime, Kelsey Plum and the Los Angeles Sparks travel to Las Vegas to face three-time WNBA champion A'ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces at 8:00 PM ET. Most games will be preceded by the WNBA Tip-Off Show, a studio show featuring host Jenny Dell, analyst and WNBA Hall of Famer Lisa Leslie, and former WNBA standout Renee Montgomery.

Play-by-play commentator Jordan Kent, analyst Isis "Ice" Young, and reporter Tiffany Blackmon form CBS's lead WNBA commentary team, with additional announcers throughout the season for select games.

Jackie Young and the defending champion Las Vegas Aces get seven WNBA appearances on CBS this year, while Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever appear on CBS four times in 2026. Two notable Fever matchups are against Breanna Stewart and the New York Liberty on June 6 and July 18.

The Dallas Wings, who have two recent WNBA Draft No. 1 overall picks on their squad in Azzi Fudd and Paige Bueckers, are scheduled for three WNBA on CBS appearances.
