With ESPN losing its Sunday Night Baseball package, it has announced it will debut a new primetime franchise labeled as Women’s Sports Sundays.
ESPN announced it will feature top-tier WNBA and NWSL games in the window.
“Women’s sports are experiencing continued momentum, and Women’s Sports Sundays is ESPN’s next step in meeting that demand,” said ESPN Executive Vice President of Programming & Acquisitions Rosalyn Durant.
“This franchise is about more than showcasing games — it’s about building a consistent, high-profile destination that reflects the passion, excellence and cultural impact of women’s sports today, while giving athletes and leagues the stage they deserve.”
Across nine consecutive weeks and 12 different games, ESPN will deliver women’s sports matchups, providing what it labeled as “the biggest moments, rivalries and stars across women’s sports on ESPN networks in premium windows.”
