Women's basketball is back! Here's how to watch the WNBA season on Sling with free options
With the draft and preseason in the books, it's time to begin the 2025 WNBA season with storylines aplenty.
Beginning with the draft, No. 1 overall pick Paige Bueckers brings a championship pedigree to a struggling franchise in the Dallas Wings as the team looks for major improvement alongside its other first round pick, Aziaha James.
Then there's the New York Liberty who look to go back-to-back for the WNBA championship. However, a hungry Minnesota Lynx team may have something to say about it after losing in heartbreaking fashion in the WNBA Finals.
