STAMFORD, Conn. – June 8, 2026 – USA Sports’ WNBA coverage on USA Network continues this week with two 2026 Commissioner’s Cup games, including A’ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces hosting the Seattle Storm tonight at 10 p.m. ET and Kelsey Plum and the Los Angeles Sparks visiting the Storm Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET.

This week’s WNBA coverage on USA Network begins tonight with Storm-Aces at 10 p.m. ET, as Carlan Gay (play-by-play) makes his USA Sports debut alongside Lea B. Olsen (analyst) and Paris Lawson (courtside reporter) live from Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Wash.

The defending champion Aces (7-3) have won three consecutive games, including an 84-79 win over the Valkyries on Saturday. 2025 Kia WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson led Las Vegas with a 28-point, 14-rebound double-double, while Jackie Young added 27 points in the win. The Storm (3-9) look to snap a five-game losing streak and earn their first 2026 Commissioner’s Cup win after they fell to the league-leading Lynx, 88-68, in their most recent game last weekend. 

On Wednesday, June 10, Meghan McPeak (play-by-play) will call the Sparks visiting the Storm on USA Network at 10 p.m. ET alongside Amy Audibert (analyst) and Edona Thaqi (courtside reporter) live from Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas, Nev. The Sparks (5-6) topped the Fire, 89-72, yesterday behind double-doubles from Nneka Ogwumike (20 points, 17 rebounds) and Dearica Hamby (22 points, 12 rebounds). Kelsey Plum, who recently returned from injury, leads the WNBA with 25.5 points per game this season.
