All-Star Weekend is underway, and dozens of top WNBA players have descended on Indianapolis to celebrate and showcase the league. We've compiled everything you need to know about how to watch the WNBA All-Star Game online in 2025, including some of the best live streaming services for those without cable.
Napheesa Collier of the Minnesota Lynx and Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever captain the two All-Star teams, although Clark will just serve as support this year instead of playing due to a groin injury. Team Clark includes Aliyah Boston, Sabrina Ionescu, and A'ja Wilson, among others, under New York Liberty head coach Sandy Brondello. Team Collier, under Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve, features players like Paige Bueckers, Skylar Diggins, and Breanna Stewart.
The 2025 All-Star Game, held at the Indiana Fever's Gainbridge Fieldhouse, will bring back the 4-point shot in select areas on the court located 28 feet from the rim (about six feet further than the standard 3-point line). Additionally, GloRilla is scheduled to headline the halftime show, so it's shaping up to be an action-packed event.
Below, you can find everything you need to know about catching tonight's game, including tip-off time, rosters, and streaming options. If you're not interested in reading any further: one of the cheapest ways to live stream the All-Star Game in the US is via ESPN Plus.
What channel is the WNBA All-Star Game on?
The WNBA All-Star Game tips off on Saturday at 8:30 p.m. ET on ABC. The network's WNBA Countdown coverage begins at 8 p.m. ABC has the game scheduled until 10:30 p.m., at which point the network will switch to a half-hour of WNBA All-Star Postgame coverage.
How to watch the WNBA All-Star Game in the US
If you don't have access to cable or an antenna, there are a few different live streaming services that will be able to help you out. Our top recommendation is ESPN Plus, which costs $12 a month. ESPN Plus unlocks live streaming for select sporting events, including some WNBA games, in addition to certain NFL, NBA, and NHL match-ups. This year, coverage will also be available on Disney Plus. You can combine ESPN Plus, Disney Plus, and Hulu for a discounted price in one of the Disney Plus bundles.
You can also live stream ABC through a live TV streaming channel package, such as Sling TV, DirecTV, or Fubo — three of the best services we've tested. DirecTV's MySports carries ESPN and ABC (in select regions), in addition to about 20 other popular sports channels, in its lineup. The genre pack also includes access to ESPN Plus, which is how you can watch the game if ABC isn't available on DirecTV in your region. Subscriptions cost $70 a month, but there's a five-day free trial for new customers.
With Sling, you'll want to opt for Sling Blue, which carries ABC and 40+ other live channels in its lineup, including the NFL Network, FS1, and CNN. Subscriptions cost $46 a month, but new users can get 50% off their first month of service. Local channels like ABC vary in availability from region to region on Sling, so we recommend looking up your ZIP code before subscribing to ensure you have access.
ESPN, ABC, and 150+ other live channels are available through Fubo 's base Pro plan. This tier costs $85 a month, making it the most expensive option today, but new users can get their first month for $65 after a seven-day free trial.
How to watch the WNBA All-Star Game from anywhere
WNBA fans traveling outside the US can still access their usual streaming services with the help of a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs are cybersecurity tools that let people change the virtual locations on their devices. This way, their usual websites and apps work from anywhere in the world, just like they would back home. The services we've recommended require US payment methods, so this option is best for Americans who are just traveling abroad at the moment.
NordVPN is our go-to recommendation. It's a user-friendly VPN, even for beginners, and comes with a wide selection of security features. Plus, it has a hassle-free 30-day money-back guarantee. You can read more about the app in our NordVPN review.
