WNBA Signs $2.2 Billion Rights Deal With Disney, NBC, Amazon

July 24, 2024

After months of speculation, the NBA on Wednesday finally officially announced its partners for its new media-rights package: ESPN, NBCUniversal, and Amazon. The NBA rejected a competing bid for Amazon’s “C” package from Warner Bros. Discovery, which looks poised to take legal action in response, but for now, WBD will be on the sidelines come 2025.

As part of the NBA rights announcement, the WNBA rights are also now official. As had been reported last week, the new WNBA deal is worth $2.2 billion over the same period with the same three partners: ESPN parent company Disney, NBCUniversal, and Amazon. FOS
