Where to watch the WNBA Finals: Golden State Valkyries vs. Atlanta Dream live streams, channel, odds, venue

The WNBA Finals are underway, capping off a thrilling 30th season. We've compiled everything you need to know about where to watch the WNBA Finals, including live streaming options for every Golden State Valkyries vs. Atlanta Dream game.

If you don't want to scroll any further, we've got you covered. You can live stream the entire WNBA Finals series on Peacock in the US. You can access your usual streaming options from anywhere with a VPN, such as NordVPN.

What channels are the WNBA Finals on?

The WNBA Finals will be split across NBC and the USA Network. Game 3 will air tonight on USA, while Game 4 (Saturday) will be broadcast on NBC. Games 5-7, if necessary, will air on USA.

Where to watch the Dream vs. Valkyries in the US

WNBA fans can live stream the entire series on Peacock in the US as it has feeds from both NBC and USA. Sports-friendly subscriptions start at $13 a month for Peacock Premium, but viewers can unlock ad-free on-demand content and a full NBC live stream by upgrading to Peacock Premium Plus for $20 a month.

If you'd prefer a service with channels beyond NBC and USA, or you're simply seeking a service with a free trial, YouTube TV is one of our top live TV recommendations. The streaming platform carries NBC, USA, and 100+ other channels in its Main plan, which costs $83 a month. However, a limited-time deal will knock your first five months down to $68 a month after a free trial. NBC and USA are also available in the cheaper Sports plan, which carries 30+ channels.

For the WNBA Finals, we recommend YouTube TV over live TV services like Sling and Fubo because they lack some necessary channels. Fubo doesn't carry USA, and NBC is only available in select markets on Sling.

How to watch the Dream vs. Valkyries from anywhere

WNBA fans traveling abroad can still access their usual streaming options with the help of a VPN, or virtual private network. VPNs are handy cybersecurity tools that let people temporarily alter the virtual location on their electronic devices. This way, their favorite websites and apps work from anywhere the same way they would back home. Since the services we've highlighted above require US payment methods, this option will work best for Americans who are currently traveling away from home.

If you're not sure where to start with VPNs, NordVPN is a great place to begin. It's one of the best VPN services we've tested, thanks to its impressive speeds and massive selection of global servers. Plus, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee if you find that it's not what you're looking for.
