Friday nights could make for great appointment TV if you’re a fan of the WNBA, as the 2025 season officially kicks off on May 16. Regular season games will be broadcast on national and local channels, but if you want to stream games without cable and without a paid streaming subscription, you can watch 50 matchups via Samsung TV Plus.
The free streaming platform is offering access to a selection of league games on ION under State Farm’s WNBA Friday Night Spotlight. Viewers with a Samsung device can tune in to channel 1510 to see an upcoming lineup that includes tonight’s national broadcasts: the Minnesota Lynx versus the Dallas Wings and the Los Angeles Sparks versus the Golden State Valkyries. Things get started at 7:30 p.m. ET.
Each Friday is set to feature a doubleheader with back-to-back games, and depending on where you live, local games will air, too. Fans can look forward to seeing Caitlyn Clark and the Indiana Fever face off against the Connecticut Sun in May, while Angela Reese’s team, the Chicago Sky, will take on the Atlanta Dream in June. Programming will also include halftime commentary, highlights and pregame shows.
Though free games are available on Samsung TV Plus, viewers can also stream Friday night WNBA games at no cost on Tubi, Pluto TV or Sling Freestream. For the full WNBA on ION schedule, visit the TV platform’s dedicated site.
