WNBA Triple-Header Set for Monday Night Broadcasts Across NBCUniversal Platforms

The Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) has a full slate of three games scheduled for tonight, August 3, 2026, featuring coverage across multiple platforms. The action tips off at 7:00 p.m. ET with two simultaneous matchups, followed by a late-night contest in the Western Conference.

In the early window, the Comcast Corporation-backed NBCUniversal will provide extensive coverage. The Las Vegas Aces will visit the Atlanta Dream at State Farm Arena, a game scheduled for broadcast on both Peacock and NBCSN. Concurrently, the Seattle Storm will face the New York Liberty. The evening concludes at 9:00 p.m. ET when the Phoenix Mercury take on the Chicago Sky, airing exclusively on USA Network.

Notably absent from the schedule are the Indiana Fever and star guard Caitlin Clark. The Fever, who are currently dealing with a back injury to Clark, do not play tonight. They are scheduled to return to the court on Thursday, August 6, 2026, for a 7:00 p.m. ET matchup against the Las Vegas Aces.

The broadcast rights for these games fall under the media portfolio of Comcast Corporation, which operates the Peacock streaming service and linear networks including NBCSN and USA Network. Shares of Comcast were trading up 3.3% in the current session, with a market capitalization of approximately $80.9 billion. The company derives significant revenue from its Media segment, which includes the distribution of live sports programming.
