How to watch Dallas Wings in 2026: TV schedule for Paige Bueckers, Azzi Fudd and company
For the first time in a long time, the Dallas Wings feels like must-watch TV. The WNBA obliged: 36 of Dallas’ 44 regular-season games are broadcast on national television, the second-most games in the league.
The Wings bring back second-year Paige Bueckers, fresh off her Rookie of the Year campaign. They add another top draft pick, Azzi Fudd, who won an NCAA national championship alongside Bueckers at UConn. Dallas also heads into this high-profile season with free agent Alanna Smith, last season’s co-Defensive Player of the Year. And bucket mainstay Arike Ogunbowale is chasing his fifth All-Star nod — and his first playoff berth in three years.

As the WNBA grows in reach and audience, its broadcast rights expand across over-the-air networks, cable channels and streaming exclusives. Consider this your one-stop guide to Wings TV programming, sorted by regional and national listings. Don’t forget to follow AthleticsWNBA coverage and the “No Offseason” podcast this season as well.
All times listed below are ET. All prices are updated as of May 2026.
You can watch in-market and nationally televised WNBA games on Fubo (stream for free now). Out-of-market viewers can stream regional games with the WNBA League Pass.
Out-of-market or in-market fans
For fans outside of the Wings market
The majority of Wings games are broadcast on national television, meaning they are available to fans across the United States without restrictions. The rotation includes ABC, ESPN, CBS, ION, NBA TV, NBC, Peacock/NBCSN, Prime Video and USA Network.

Most of them are accessible through a pay TV service – cable, satellite, Fubo, YouTube TV, Sling, etc. – although some require an extended plan or subscription.
However, whether you’re a devoted Dallas expat or a Bueckers-Fudd obsessive from the UConn days, all out-of-market fans need WNBA League Pass to watch this season’s eight games that aren’t on national television.
Average monthly cost: $85-$100 for pay TV and $14.99 (or $39.99/year) for WNBA League Pass.
For Wings Market Fans
All games outside of the nationally televised schedule fall under a team’s local broadcast partner. For Wings, it’s KFAA (channel 29). It offers 24 regular season matches this year, including eight exclusives.
