After back-to-back WNBA Championship wins, the Las Vegas Aces are hoping a third is in the cards. With new silver-and black-uniforms to match another Las Vegas sports franchise (the NFL’s Raiders, who recently relocated from Oakland, Calif.) and leadership from two-time WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson, the Aces are without a doubt one of the most skilled teams in the WNBA — luck has nothing to do with it.
With the season already underway, Las Vegas Aces fans need to know how to watch their team. Here's our guide to how to watch televised Las Vegas Aces games without cable.
A certain set of core channels offer nationally broadcast WNBA games this season. Each team has its own local networks at home as well. Nationally broadcast games can be found on ABC, CBS, CBS Sports Network, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, NBA TV and ion, as well as streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Local Las Vegas Aces fans can find games on Silver State Sports & Entertainment Network, which also airs on Fox 5 KVVU in the Las Vegas Area.
