It's time for the ladies to take over the basketball spotlight in primetime.
The WNBA will make its NBC primetime debut this weekend as the network embarks on a summer of intriguing matchups before broadcasting the WNBA Finals in October, concluding the league's 30th season.
As their male counterparts did in February, the WNBA on NBC will kick off "Sunday Night Basketball" on Sunday, July 12, when the defending-champion Las Vegas Aces face the league's top television attraction, the Indiana Fever. (9 p.m. ET, NBC/Peacock).
The star power is loaded for both teams, with league MVP A'ja Wilson and All-WNBA performer Jackie Young for Las Vegas, and Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell headlining the Fever.
The contest will be the first WNBA regular-season game on a Sunday in primetime on an over-the-air broadcast network. Zora Stephenson will handle play-by-play alongside ***** yst Sarah Kustok, with Ashley ShahAhmadi as the courtside reporter. Host Maria Taylor and Hall of Famers Cheryl Miller and Sue Bird will be on-site providing studio ***** ysis, instead of their usual perch at NBC Sports headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut.
