The WNBA on NBC is the branding used for presentations of Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) games produced by NBC Sports and broadcast on the NBC television network in the United States.
NBC showed Women's National Basketball Association games from 1997 to 2002 as part of their NBA on NBC[3][4] coverage before the league transferred the rights[5] to ABC/ESPN.[6][7][8] Coverage of the WNBA on NBC is set to return in 2026 following along with the return of the NBA on NBC.[9][10]
