Prime Video Taps WNBA Legends for 2026 Broadcasts

Get ready for an incredible viewing experience as Prime Video gears up for the 2026 WNBA season! To celebrate the league’s 30th season and the debut of two new teams, Prime Video is assembling a broadcast lineup packed with legendary talent. This move is set to elevate the game’s presentation to match the high level of competition on the court.

A Lineup of Champions and Hall of Famers

Anchoring the new roster are WNBA Hall of Famers Cynthia Cooper, who will serve as a game and studio analyst, and Teresa (T-Spoon) Weatherspoon, joining as a studio analyst. They bring a wealth of knowledge and championship experience to the broadcast booth.

Joining them in the studio are two more icons: Candace Parker and Swin Cash. This powerhouse commentary team boasts a combined total of double-digit WNBA championships and MVP awards, promising insightful analysis and engaging perspectives. The talent pool also includes Duke University head coach Kara Lawson, Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach Lindsey Harding, and longtime analyst LaChina Robinson.

Fresh Perspectives and Expanded Coverage

Amina Hussein, Prime Sports head of on-air talent and development, highlighted that this team brings “championship experience, broadcasting excellence, and fresh perspectives.” The timing couldn’t be more perfect, coinciding with a historic season that includes the launch of the WNBA’s first Canadian franchise, the Toronto Tempo, and the Portland Fire.

Prime Video’s coverage will be extensive, featuring 30 exclusive regular-season games and the Commissioner’s Cup. Allie Clifton will host the new pregame, halftime, and postgame shows, while Michael Grady, Lisa Byington, and Mike Watts will handle play-by-play duties. JayDee Dyer, Kayla Grey, and Morgan Ragan are set as sideline reporters.

A Strategic Move for a Growing League

Industry analysts see this strategic talent acquisition as a key move to capitalize on the WNBA’s surging global popularity. The goal is to ensure the broadcast presentation matches the thrilling action on the court. The 30th WNBA season officially tips off on Friday, May 8.
