How to watch WNBA 2025: live stream games free from anywhere
You can watch WNBA 2025 from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free.
The 2025 WNBA season started on May 16 and will conclude in October. • U.S. — Ion, ESPN, ABC/ESPN3, NBA TV via Sling TV / Prime Video / CBS via Paramount Plus• Watch anywhere — Try NordVPN 100% risk free
The reigning champion New York Liberty, Atlanta Dream and Phoenix Mercury are locked in a three-way battle for the No.2 seed, which might well go all the way down to the wire. The Dream are in the groove right now, thanks to Allisha Gray and Brionna Jones, while their direct rivals have stuttered of late.
It feels almost miraculous that the Indiana Fever won the Commissioner's Cup, given the almost comedic number of injuries they've suffered. Caitlin Clark has barely played all year and Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald are now out for the rest of the season, but the Fever are still in the mix.
Unless their fortunes change dramatically, this season's shaping up to be a write-off for the Dallas Wings, Chicago Sky and Connecticut Sun, who are a long way off even the Washington Mystics and Los Angeles Sparks, who themselves are on the outside looking in.

Sinner and Alcaraz meet again
Yahoo Sports AM is our daily newsletter that keeps you up to date on all things sports. Sign up here to get it every weekday morning. 🚨 Headlines ⛳️ Scottie wins again: Scottie Scheffler won the BMW Championship on Sunday to give him 5+ victories in back-to-back PGA Tour seasons. The only other golfer to accomplish that over the past 40 years? Tiger Woods (six times). 🏀 Sue gets a statue: The Seattle Storm unveiled a bronze Sue Bird statue outside their home arena on Sunday, making the legendary point guard the first WNBA player to be honored in that way. ⚾️ Brewers streak snapped: Milwaukee's magical 14-game winning streak (franchise record) came to an end on Sunday with an extra-innings loss to the Reds. 🏈 Kaepernick doc scrapped: Spike Lee's docuseries on Colin Kaepernick is no longer moving forward at ESPN. This comes on the heels of the NFL acquiring a 10% equity stake in the network. 🏁 Byron clinches title: William Byron clinched the NASCAR Cup Series regular season title with one race to spare. The prize? 15 extremely valuable bonus points that he'll carry through the first three rounds of the playoffs. 🎾 The Big Two meet again Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz will face off this afternoon in the final of the Cincinnati Open. Because of course they will. Run it back: Sinner and Alcaraz are just the third duo this century to meet in the final of four consecutive big events (i.e. Grand Slams and Masters 1000). The other two? Roger Federer vs. Rafael Nadal in 2006 and Nadal vs. Novak Djokovic in 2011. Head-to-head: Alcaraz holds an 8-5 advantage in the all-time series, including a 2-1 record in the three finals comprising this historic streak. Italian Open (May 18): Alcaraz def. Sinner, 7-6, 6-1 French Open (June 8): Alcaraz def. Sinner, 4-6, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 7-6 Wimbledon (July 13): Sinner def. Alcaraz, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 The Big Two: It wasn't that long ago that Djokovic, Federer and Nadal ruled the court as the Big Three, winning a mind-boggling 66 of 80 majors from 2003-23. And while Sinner and Alcaraz have a ways to go before entering that territory, their reign as the Big Two at least warrants being mentioned in the same breath. Sinner has been ranked No. 1 for 63 consecutive weeks since first landing there last June, and enters today's final at 31-3 on the year, including a 26-match win streak on hard courts. Alcaraz, who's been ranked no worse than No. 3 since Sept. 2022, has gone 53-6 this year and seeks his Tour-leading sixth title of the season. And most importantly, at least from a historical perspective: They've combined to win the last seven Grand Slams in a row, and nine of the last 12. Further reading: "Changeover," a new book by author and Defector Media co-founder Giri Nathan that examines the Sinner-Alcaraz rivalry and this new era of men's tennis, comes out tomorrow. 🎓 Michigan case exposes NCAA's fragile authority The NCAA ruled on the Michigan sign-stealing scandal on Friday, hitting the Wolverines with a series of fines, suspensions and other sanctions but stopping short of punitive penalties such as a postseason ban or vacated wins. From Yahoo Sports' Jay Busbee: For whatever hardship the NCAA's penalty will cause Michigan — a few new T-shirt slogans in Columbus, some slightly postponed redecorations to a couple stadium luxury suites — the larger truth is this: the Michigan case has revealed how fragile the NCAA's authority is now. In its report released Friday, the NCAA indicated specifically that due to the severity of the violations and Michigan's status as a repeat offender, "a postseason ban is required in this case." However, just a few lines later, the report notes that "a postseason ban would unfairly penalize student-athletes for the actions of coaches and staff who are no longer associated with the Michigan football program. Thus, a more appropriate penalty is an offsetting financial penalty." That's it right there. The NCAA isn't hammering schools with program-wrecking postseason bans, it's just serving them with bills. And given the vast resources pouring into the game now, that's not a punishment that will leave a mark. There's no love lost between the NCAA and Michigan, and the NCAA swung as hard as it realistically could at the Wolverines. But the penalties will hit with all the force of a well-swung pillow. Bottom line: The days of the NCAA carpet-bombing an athletic department into submission (see: SMU) appear to be over. The game has grown too large for its regulators to regulate.

Ralph Lauren Reveals 2025 Ryder Cup Uniforms for U.S. Team
The competition is expected to be fierce this year when the U.S. and Europe bring their best golf players to Long Island, N.Y., at the end of September to battle head-to-head for the Ryder Cup. And in terms of fashion, it'll be Ralph Lauren versus Loro Piana, both longtime apparel partners of the tournament. More from WWD Leonard Lauren, a Former Vice President of Ralph Lauren and Ralph Lauren's Older Brother, Dies Ralph Lauren to Stage Spring 2026 Collection Show at 650 Madison Avenue Ralph Lauren's Polo Bear Stars in New Short Film On Monday, Ralph Lauren unveiled the uniforms it has created for its seventh run as the official outfitter of the U.S. team. The 45th Ryder Cup will be played at the Bethpage Black Golf Course, the first time the tournament has been played on Long Island and in the greater New York area, from Sept. 26 to 28. The company will provide both practice and on-the-course uniforms as well as outerwear and tailored clothing for the opening ceremony and welcome dinner. Ralph Lauren will also outfit all caddies, spouses and partners of the U.S. Team, including the U.S. team captain and Ralph Lauren Ryder Cup ambassador Keegan Bradley. Not surprisingly, the 2025 U.S. Team's on-course uniforms will feature a palette of red, white and blue in performance fabrics. There will be both layering and weather-resistant pieces including cashmere hoodies, technical vests, half-zips and wind-resistant jackets. Each garment will offer advanced moisture-wicking technology, technical stretch and breathable fabrications. 'It's the best of best of American style,' Bradley said. 'The classic American flag sweater piece is a classic and a favorite. I love the red, white and blue, of course. It's always exciting to be wearing the uniform as a team, which is so unique to the Ryder Cup. And even more exciting this year.' 'It is an extraordinary honor to outfit the U.S. Ryder Cup Team as they represent our country at the most exciting event in the world of golf,' added David Lauren, chief branding and innovation officer of Ralph Lauren. 'And with the tournament coming back to New York for the first time in decades, Bethpage is going to be explosive. Defining the look and style of the U.S. to match that energy, while honoring the timeless style and heritage of the game is what we set out to do. These are the best golfers in the world, and we want them to step onto the course — together — looking and feeling their absolute best.' For fans, the company is also producing a commemorative collection of men's and womenswear RLX apparel that will include a navy and red satin jacket featuring embroidered New York and golfing motifs and the brand's signature Polo Bear outfitted in the U.S. Team uniform standing before Bethpage Black's legendary course signs. There will also be novelty prints and graphics such as the 13th Man camp shirt — a printed statement piece that honors fans as the unofficial '13th player' on the team. The Ryder Cup collection will be sold on the brand's website, the Ryder Cup site, select golf clubs, resorts and stores, as well as Bloomingdale's. The Bethpage Golf Shop will also sell the RLX Ralph Lauren seasonal collection along with the U.S. Team uniforms and fan collection. During the tournament, Ralph Lauren will also host guests at an exclusive hospitality suite. And during the Ryder Cup week, the company will be involved in the celebrity all-star match and first tee experience held before the official tournament begins. The final 12-player rosters for the Ryder Cup have not yet been finalized but number-one ranked Scottie Scheffler, J.J. Spaun, Xander Schauffele, Russell Henley, Harris English and Bryson DeChambeau have already qualified for the U.S. squad while Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood have earned automatic qualifications on Team Europe. The remaining top three European qualifiers will be named after the Betfred British Masters on Aug. 24. The captains of each team will select the remaining six players that will compete. In addition to the Ryder Cup, Ralph Lauren also works with the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Teams, the PGA Championships, Wimbledon, the U.S. Open, the Australian Open and the American Junior Golf Association. The company sponsors golfers Andrea Lee, Billy Horschel, Davis Love 3rd, Tom Watson, Zach Johnson and others.

Highlights: Fever defeat Sun in historic comeback
Look back at the biggest moments from Sunday's WNBA action, where Kelsey Mitchell and the Fever rallied against the Sun, and the Phoenix Mercury escaped the Storm in a tight win.
