How to watch the Wings vs. Mystics game without cable:

This week’s WNBA matchup between the Wings and Mystics will be available on NBC Sports Network, which means it’ll be streaming on platforms like DirecTV and YouTube TV. It will also be available on Peacock.

For $11/month, an ad-supported Peacock subscription lets you stream tons of live sports and events including many of this year's WNBA games. Plus, you'll get access to thousands of hours of shows and movies, including beloved sitcoms such as Parks and Recreation and The Office, every Bravo show, and much more.

For $17/month, you can upgrade to an ad-free subscription, which includes live access to your local NBC affiliate (not just during designated sports and events) and the ability to download select titles to watch offline.

DirecTV's Choice tier (currently $104.98/month after fees for your first three months) gets you access to nearly every channel you need to watch sports throughout the year, especially for the WNBA: NBCSN, ION, NBC, ABC, CBS, ESPN, and NBA TV (plus an abundance of local RSNs). DirecTV Choice (and most other DirecTV plans) also come with free ESPN Unlimited, which gets you access to every ESPN channel, an amazing value and a must for watching tons of sports all year round.

DirecTV offers a free trial on any tier, so you can try it all out at low risk. After your free trial and new subscriber month deal on DirecTV's Choice tier, the monthly price goes up to $115/month (after fees). If you're interested in trying a live TV streaming service but aren't ready to commit, we recommend starting with DirecTV.

YouTube TV gets you nearly every channel you'll need for the 2026 WNBA season, including NBCSN, USA, ION, NBC, ABC, CBS, ESPN, and NBA TV. While the platform has announced it intends to give subscribers complimentary access to ESPN Unlimited, that integration has been delayed for the time being.

That being said, you can get a great deal on YouTube TV right now: $67.99/month for your first five months, then $82.99/month thereafter.

One thing to note: YouTube TV livestreams tend to run a slight delay, which isn't ideal if you're trying to keep up with the live game down to the exact second.
