Women’s Sports Sundays is a new weekly prime-time programming franchise rolling out on ESPN this summer, anchored by WNBA and NWSL matches.
The new strand “represents a bold commitment to incomparable competition, consistency and storytelling, establishing women’s sports as the main event on Sunday nights,” the sports broadcaster says. ESPN will showcase the initiative across nine consecutive weeks with 12 games.
“Women’s sports are experiencing continued momentum, and Women’s Sports Sundays is ESPN’s next step in meeting that demand,” said Rosalyn Durant, ESPN’s EVP of programming and acquisitions. “This franchise is about more than showcasing games—it’s about building a consistent, high-profile destination that reflects the passion, excellence and cultural impact of women’s sports today, while giving athletes and leagues the stage they deserve.”
