The E.W. Scripps Company announced today a new deal for ION to continue airing regular season Friday night WNBA games. ION has been the league’s Friday night national network home since 2023.
ION is available on pay TV, paid streaming services, and free streaming services. This season, ION is broadcasting 50 regular season games as part of its WNBA Friday Night Spotlight series, as well as the WNBA on ION Studio Show with exclusive, dedicated WNBA coverage.
“The WNBA’s partnership with Scripps has already delivered great results in expanding the league’s reach and visibility,” said WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert. “This new multi-year agreement reflects the growing excitement surrounding the league and the rising demand for WNBA games. Through Scripps’ ION Network Friday Night doubleheaders, we will continue to showcase the world-class talent of WNBA athletes to even more fans nationwide.”
“Since 2023, the WNBA Friday Night Spotlight on ION has enhanced the accessibility and reach of WNBA games for fans nationwide,” said Adam Symson, Scripps president and CEO. “Our robust partnership with the league has flourished, and we are thrilled to solidify ION’s status as the premier Friday night destination for WNBA action for years to come.”
