The WNBA Finals head to Minnesota for Game 3 between the New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx. We've compiled everything you need to know about where to watch the Liberty vs. Lynx, including cable and streaming options.
Game 2 tied up the series this weekend and saw the Liberty win 80-66. It was a stark contrast from Game 1, wherein the teams went into overtime, and the Lynx ultimately squeaked out a 95-93 win. The Liberty are vying for their first-ever Championship win, while the Lynx hope to add a fifth chip to their legacy, so the stakes are high for both teams. The Finals match-up is a repeat of this season's Commissioner's Cup, which the Lynx won 94-89 over the Liberty.
Tonight's game, Game 4, and the potential Game 5 will air on ESPN, so the streaming options we recommend will work for the rest of the series. Keep reading to learn more, and don't forget to follow our WNBA Playoffs streaming guide for additional information.
Game 3 of the WNBA Finals will air on ESPN in the US. The game tips off on Wednesday, October 16, at 8 p.m. ET. The network's WNBA Countdown coverage begins at 7:30 p.m.
If you don't have ESPN through traditional cable means, you can live stream the game via a month-to-month live TV package like Sling TV, DirecTV Stream, or Fubo. At $40/month, Sling is the cheapest of the three options. Sling's Orange plan carries ESPN and 43 other live channels, including ESPN2, ESPN3, and ESPN4K. Right now, customers can get their first month for half-off.
DirecTV Stream and Fubo are great options if you're looking for a true cable replacement since the streaming services offer tons of live channels (including ESPN). Fubo plans start at $80/month and come with a seven-day free trial, while DirecTV Stream subscriptions start at $87/month and include a five-day free trial. Right now, you can get $20 off your first month of Fubo. Each service has its relative merits, which you can read more about in our guide to the best sports streaming services.
If you're traveling outside the US, you can still keep up with the above streaming options using a VPN (virtual private network). VPNs are security-boosting tech tools that allow you to change your device's virtual location, enabling you to use all of your go-to websites and apps from anywhere. The services we've highlighted today require US forms of payment, so this option will work best for Americans who are just traveling away from home at the moment.
If you're interested in trying out a VPN, we recommend ExpressVPN. It's straightforward and comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee if you find that it's not what you're looking for. Our ExpressVPN review has all the details, and you can keep reading to learn how to use a VPN.
Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
