June means that the WNBA regular season is starting to heat up! Teams are vying to compete for the Cup, an additional bonus, and for winnings towards a team charity. We could get a seriously great glimpse into emerging contenders for the Finals this year with the slate over the next eight weeks. 

From June 2 – July 22, the WNBA is unlocking 10 League Pass games for WNBA ID account holders. Each game will be available to stream live and remain unlocked on-demand for seven days – fans can simply go to the Watch page of WNBA.com or the WNBA App, sign in, and start streaming. We’ll be breaking down why you should tune into these 10 free contests below.

6/2 Las Vegas Aces @ Los Angeles Sparks

This one feels like a no-brainer: the Sparks took down the Aces most recently on May 23 behind 38 points from the former Ace, Kelsey Plum, as well as big buckets from Erica Wheeler down the stretch of the contest. Las Vegas, having just snapped a two-game skid on May 31, will be seeking their sixth win on the road against the Sparks.

A win here could help Las Vegas gain momentum ahead of some critical games against the Portland Fire, Minnesota Lynx, and Golden State Valkyries. A win for LA could also help them gain steam in a packed Western Conference.

6/9 Dallas Wings @ Minnesota Lynx

The Wings’ resurgence could’ve been predicted based on their free agency signings and their draft, but not to the extent that we’ve seen so far this year. They’re true contenders, but have to prove that they can beat battle-tested teams like the Lynx in the regular season to gain actual respect on that front. Plus, this is a homecoming for Alanna Smith and Jessica Shepard, who departed Minnesota for Dallas in free agency.

6/9 Phoenix Mercury @ Golden State Valkyries

Phoenix will be looking to do something similar to Dallas in this contest, which is to say, re-establish themselves as a threat in the standings. If they can take on the Valkyries offense, helmed by Veronica Burton as she’s on a huge tear, then they have a shot here. Golden State also has the tools to stifle the Mercury’s three-point shooting and paint presence, which could make for a fun duel.

6/17 Dallas Wings @ Golden State Valkyries

The top two three-point shooting teams in the WNBA clash in this game. It’ll be a battle of the bigs (Smith/Shepard against Gabby Williams/Janelle Salaun), as well as a battle between two physical guards in Paige Bueckers and Burton. 

This will be the first contest between these two teams in the regular season and the last day of Commissioner’s Cup play. Expect a hard-fought game, especially if things are tight between these two teams in the Western Conference for a spot in the championship game.

6/22 Toronto Tempo @ Atlanta Dream

Toronto has been a fun surprise so far this season, with them and the Fire following a similar blueprint for success to the one the Valkyries used in 2025. They may not be at the same level as Atlanta just yet, but they should still be able to test the Dream’s perimeter defense in this one. As for the Dream, they should have a huge rebounding advantage, which could make or break Toronto’s shot at shocking anyone in this game.

7/2 Seattle Storm @ Phoenix Mercury

Seattle has had a rough go of it to start the year, but that was to be expected with such a young squad. As for Phoenix, they have to win games like this to remain in the conversation for contention. 

This might just be a battle between fun rookies, with Jovana Nogic quickly establishing herself as yet another breakout international talent to follow for Phoenix, and with Seattle’s rookie class of Flau’jae Johnson and Awa Fam Thiam ready to figure out their chemistry. 

7/4 Portland Fire @ Seattle Storm

While this could be a budding rivalry between two Pacific Northwest squads, as of now, it feels like the Fire have a bit more wind under their sails than the Storm…ironically. 

Scrappy guards make up the DNA of this matchup, with Sarah Ashlee Barker likely set to match up well with Natisha Hiedeman in this game.

7/6 Golden State Valkyries @ Washington Mystics

The Mystics are the young, troublesome team that the league has to deal with this season. They’re finding great success behind their core of Sonia Citron, Kiki Iriafen, Georgia Amoore, and Shakira Austin, but could still use one or two more pieces to genuinely take the next step towards being a postseason threat. As for the Valkyries, they could prove in this contest their ability to contain a speedy, athletic team like Washington.

7/15 Los Angeles Sparks @ Minnesota Lynx

Kayla McBride versus Plum. That should be more than enough to get viewers to tune into what could be a shootout between these two teams. If Napheesa Collier is healthy by this game, this could be a fun battle between her and Cameron Brink in the post, as well.

7/22 Phoenix Mercury @ Los Angeles Sparks

Phoenix will have its hands full containing Los Angeles’ offense, especially Plum. They’re allowing opponents to shoot nearly 39 percent from three-point range on the year, and that has to look mighty enticing to someone as ready to let it fly as Plum. Brink against Natasha Mack could also be interesting if neither team is able to get things going from farther in the field.
