Bell Media has secured the rights to broadcast and stream select WNBA coverage beginning with the 2026 season.
The pact also sees Bell becoming the official media partner of the Toronto Tempo. TSN will showcase comprehensive live coverage of the Canadian team, plus regular-season matchups from across the league, and marquee events such as WNBA All-Star, WNBA Playoffs, WNBA Finals, and WNBA Draft. Some Tempo games will be carried on CTV and its live stream on Crave.
Prime Video also has a media rights deal with the WNBA for a slate of exclusive games.
“The momentum around the WNBA in Canada is at an all-time high, and this partnership represents an important step in providing fans in Canada with unprecedented access to their favorite teams and players at a historic time of the first-ever Canadian team in the WNBA,” said Colie Edison, WNBA’s chief growth officer. “TSN shares our commitment to providing fans with best-in-class coverage that will elevate the WNBA and women’s basketball in Canada.”
Shawn Redmond, VP of Bell Media Sports, added, “As the home of basketball in Canada with a wide-ranging portfolio of women’s sports coverage, this partnership is an ideal fit for the TSN audience. We can’t wait to shine the national spotlight on the incredible athletes taking flight in the WNBA.”
