Details:
- Channel: ESPN (nationwide TV)[2][3][6]
- Live stream: ESPN app (and ESPN+) for those with a subscription or access to the streaming platform[6][2]
- Start time: Typically around 7:00–7:30 p.m. ET, with pre-show coverage such as a WNBA Countdown/Orange Carpet on ESPN platforms in prior years[3][6]
