The foundation for the WNBA’s next television era is officially in place. As the league prepares for its debut season on a new national platform, USA Sports is finalizing key elements of its broadcast plans well ahead of tipoff.

Elle Duncan will continue her reign of WNBA coverage at USA Network as part of the inaugural sports show "USA Sports."

The WNBA made a big announcement on Wednesday.

Phantom found their rhythm at the right time, moving to 4-2 in the Unrivaled season with a 78-69 win over Vinyl. The tone was set by Aliyah Boston, who imposed herself early and often, blending touch with force in the paint.

Elle Duncan is returning to host USA Network's WNBA coverage starting in 2026, a move signaling the league's growing influence. This comes as the WNBA experiences record viewership, amplified by stars like Caitlin Clark.

The 2026 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup will take place next September in Berlin, and one can guess that Paige Bueckers and Caitlin Clark should be making their debuts for the senior national team on the world stage.

Caitlin Clark will return to a basketball arena on TV this weekend. NBC Sports announced Tuesday that Clark will make two appearances as a "special contributor" on Sunday Night Basketball, which debuts on Feb.
