Where to Watch on TV

If you have a traditional cable or satellite package that includes these channels, simply tune in. Check your local listings or channel guide, as channel numbers can vary by provider and market.

How to Stream Game 7

Cord-cutters have solid options:

  • Peacock is the most straightforward choice. It streams the entire 2026 WNBA Finals series, including this Game 7 (via simulstream of the USA Network coverage). A Peacock Premium subscription (with ads) starts at $12.99 per month. Premium Plus is available for an ad-lighter experience on most content.
  • Live TV streaming services that carry USA Network (and typically CNBC) include YouTube TV, DirecTV Stream, and Fubo. These offer trial periods in many cases and are good if you want a broader channel lineup.

Peacock is generally the most cost-effective dedicated option for just the Finals games.

Radio Options

Prefer audio? You can listen to live play-by-play on the SiriusXM app or via SiriusXM channel 85 (home, away, and national feeds are typically available during the Finals). A SiriusXM Sports Pass offers access; promotional first-month free offers are often available.

Quick Tips

  • Confirm the exact start time closer to tip-off in case of any adjustments.
  • For the best viewing experience on streaming platforms, use a strong internet connection and a large screen if possible.
  • Tickets for the game at Chase Center were available (starting as low as around $145 in some reports), but availability is limited for a championship-deciding Game 7.
