While the Hawks and Falcons are in offseason mode and the Braves have stumbled well below .500, locals should lock in with the upstart Atlanta Dream. Star additions Brittney Griner and Brionna Jones have remade the interior defense. Allisha Gray and Rhyne Howard are balling around the perimeter. And the 2025 team has won eight of its first dozen games, a huge relief after six consecutive losing seasons.
Welcome to Atlanta, where the players play.
Here’s the thing, though … tracking WNBA broadcast rotations, streaming changes and those maddening blackout rules can undercut the impeccable vibes. Accordingly, we’ll use this space to review the remaining national TV schedule and explain how to access the regional games. First, make sure to follow the Dream and the WNBA on The Athletic. Senior writer Chantel Jennings is an integral voice in women’s basketball. Sabreena Merchant and Ben Pickman each cover the W with passion, from power rankings and bench observations to in-depth feature reporting on key players.

WPCH/PSN (Gray Media)
Every team has a regional sports network, or an RSN, that carries local matchups. Aside from the nationally televised action, all Dream games are on WPCH (Peachtree TV) and PSN (Peachtree Sports Network).
Angel Gray is back on play-by-play for her fifth straight season. She was previously the voice of the Los Angeles Sparks and called some prime-time women’s hoops on ESPN. Gray hails from Stone Mountain, Ga., approximately 25 miles from the team’s College Park venue and even closer to State Farm Arena in the city proper. Tabitha Turner-Wilkins, a former four-year letterer at Georgia Tech, holds down color commentary and analysis. The effervescent Autumn Johnson reports back to them from the sidelines.
What you need to watch these games: Fubo, DirecTV Stream (starting at $84.99 monthly), or YouTube TV (starting at $82.99 monthly)
How to watch the regional broadcasts on cable or satellite

How to watch the national TV games
ESPN
Ryan Ruocco is the primary play-by-play anchor for ESPN’s WNBA programming. His call is punchy and controlled, and his love for the game bleeds through the screen. Ruocco has sharpened his product with the MLB’s New York Yankees and the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets, and he’s narrated some of the modern classics in women’s March Madness. His signature refrain, “you bet!,” gets Caitlin Clark fired up.
UConn legend Rebecca Lobo does color commentary. She played center for the Huskies during their first perfect season and 1995 national title crowning. The Hall of Famer suited up for the inaugural New York Liberty campaign in 1997 and played for the Connecticut Sun, plus the now-defunct Houston Comets and Springfield Spirit. Holly Rowe is the lead sideline reporter; she talks to players and coaches after the final buzzer.
The network’s second team features Pam Ward, LaChina Robinson and the Dream’s own Angel Gray. Hello again, fateful friend! Some games will be broadcast on ESPN3, a live streaming platform within ESPN’s digital products (the app, the website, etc.).
What you need to watch these games: a TV plan with ESPN or an ESPN+ standalone subscription, which includes ABC games (starting at $11.99 per month or $119.99 annually)
Dream games on ESPN (and ESPN+):
June 22 vs. Chicago Sky (ESPN3)
June 29 vs. New York Liberty (ESPN3)
July 22 at Las Vegas Aces
July 30 at Dallas Wings (ESPN3)
Aug. 3 vs. Washington Mystics (ESPN3)
Aug. 13 at Seattle Storm (ESPN3)
ABC
There are a record 13 regular-season WNBA games on ABC this season, plus the 2025 All-Star Game. Conference finals and Finals play will be split between ABC and ESPN, which share the same ownership in Disney. The aforementioned ESPN talents are on the mic here, too.
The ABC/ESPN pregame programming is called “WNBA Countdown,” and it’s a thoroughly radiant affair. Women’s hoops expert Elle Duncan is the host. Alongside her is Chiney Ogwumike, the two-time WNBA All-Star who played for Connecticut and Los Angeles. It’ll be especially fun when ABC or ESPN gets a Seattle game this summer — Chiney’s sister, Nneka, now plays for the Storm after a decorated career with the Sparks.
Rounding out the “big three” is Andraya Carter. She shone during the 2024 NCAA championship broadcast and was among the last players to sign with Tennessee coach Pat Summitt. Other recurring personalities are Malika Andrews (host of “NBA Today”), Monica McNutt (studio for the NBA’s New York Knicks) and Carolyn Peck (Hall of Fame coach with a national title at Purdue).
What you need to watch these games: a broadcast antenna or a TV/streaming plan that includes ABC
