NCAA Women's Basketball TV Info
ESPN’s commitment to women’s basketball continues for the 32nd year with coverage of the entire NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship from start to finish. Beginning Friday, March 22, every round of the championship will be carried on ESPN or ESPN2. The Women’s Final Four will be live from Tampa on April 5 & 7.
Games will be available through WatchESPN, accessible on computers, smartphones, tablets and connected devices to fans who receive their video subscription from an affiliated provider.
First and Second Rounds – Regionalized & Home Market Protection
- In the home markets of the competing teams, ESPN or ESPN2 will televise the game of local interest. While constant updates from the other games will be provided in the home market, the networks will not switch to another game during live action, thereby establishing home market protection.
- For the first and second rounds, multiple games (as many as four) will begin within one telecast window. During those windows, the coverage will showcase the best action for viewers in the majority of the nation (except in the home markets of the competing teams).
- Select first- and second-round games will be aired in a full national telecast on ESPN or ESPN2, with supplemental coverage on ESPN App
- ESPN3 will carry the games in full that are not being aired in a national window.
