With the historic 30th WNBA season set to begin next month, CBS Sports has announced its 20-game regular-season schedule for 2026. As usual, CBS airs WNBA games on weekends (Saturdays and Sundays). CBS Sports has televised WNBA games on the CBS broadcast network every season since 2020, so CBS is entering its 7th season of WNBA coverage.

The 2026 WNBA on CBS schedule begins on Saturday, May 23, as Courtney Williams and the Minnesota Lynx visit Skylar Diggins and the Chicago Sky at 1:00 PM ET. 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 have seven WNBA appearances on CBS this year, while Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever have four on CBS 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.
