How To Stream Women’s College Basketball
Why you should watch: There is so much intrigue as we head into the homestretch of the season. Under Dawn Staley, South Carolina continues to be the cream of the crop and will look to avenge last year’s Final Four loss to Caitlin Clark and Iowa. Clark has been the talk of the basketball world as the senior continues her next-level play. She’s averaging 32/7/7 and has the Hawkeyes poised to finish the deal this year. Defending champions LSU have had an up-and-down season, but under Kim Mulkey, they figure to be contenders, along with stalwarts NC State, Stanford, UCONN, and an impressive Colorado team that’s getting stellar play from guard Jaylyn Sherrod and three-point specialist Frida Formann.

How To Stream NBA Games

Why you should watch 2024 NBA games: The talent in the NBA is at an all-time high. There’s the ‘old guard’ of players 34-and-over like LeBron James, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, James Harden and Chris Paul, all of whom are still playing at an elite level. But the next generation is here, and it’s filled with exciting players, whether their teams are playoff-bound or not. Anthony Edwards, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Tyrese Maxey are all players leading their teams to promising postseasons. Then you have the defending champion Denver Nuggets plodding along during the regular season, as are the Eastern Conference-leading Boston Celtics. We’ve done a huge disservice by failing to name probably another 20 players, but you get the point: the Association shouldn’t be missed right now.
Channels you want: ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, TNT. You can also subscribe to NBA Team or League Pass.

How To Stream WNBA Games
Why you should watch: The WNBA season doesn’t start until May, but the league is coming off a season where it broke records for viewership, attendance, and digital engagement. The Las Vegas Aces are the team to beat, with the New York Liberty not far behind. Sprinkle in Caitlin Clark joining the mix as the likely number one pick for the Indianapolis Fever and the league is poised for another record-breaking year.
Channels you want: The WNBA is releasing the television and streaming schedule at a later date.
