WNBA preseason is short, but it has never mattered more. Played across two to three weeks in early-to-mid May, it is the first live look at rookies adjusting to the pro game, veterans in new systems, and lineups taking shape before the regular season tips off in late May. With the league at the center of a genuine popularity surge, even these exhibition games now draw real audiences - and this page collects every live preseason broadcast so you do not miss the first sightings.
The recent draft classes are the story. Caitlin Clark with the Indiana Fever and Angel Reese with the Chicago Sky turned preseason openers into must-watch television, and their games consistently carry the deepest set of backup sources because demand is so high. Around them are the established stars whose teams you will find here - A'ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces, Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu with the New York Liberty, Napheesa Collier and the Minnesota Lynx, plus the expansion Golden State Valkyries - all 13 franchises taking the floor.
Preseason games are typically streamed or aired regionally rather than on a single national platform, which is precisely why they are hard to find in one place; this page aggregates free third-party feeds, each with a backup channel tab in case a stream drops. Tip-off times vary by matchup and are usually in the evening, with a live countdown on each game so you know exactly when it starts. Once the regular season begins, WNBA games appear on the main TheTVApp homepage, and fans of the men's game can head to our NBA streams page or the college game on NCAAB streams.
Games are added as schedules are confirmed and feeds usually come online 30 to 60 minutes before tip-off. TheTVApp is a free aggregator that hosts no video of its own; every stream is a third-party link embedded here for convenience.
