Golden State Valkyries games will be widely available free to Bay Area viewers this season
The Golden State Valkyries are set to launch their second WNBA season next week, and Bay Area basketball fans have reason to celebrate: most games will be broadcast for free on local TV. This season’s coverage expands on last year’s success, with games airing primarily on KPIX and KPIX+, giving easy access to fans across the region without a streaming subscription or cable package.
In addition to KPIX’s comprehensive broadcasts, an extra four Valkyries games will be nationally televised on major networks such as ABC and NBC. These can be received with a simple antenna, ensuring no barriers to watching one of the WNBA’s fastest-growing franchises.
Broadcasters and star players ready to energize the season
The local broadcast team returns with experienced voices: Jordan Kent provides play-by-play commentary, alongside color analyst Morgan Ragan. Hosting duties for pregame, halftime, and postgame shows are handled by Kerith Burke with analyst Zena Keita, while Matt Lively covers courtside reporting. This well-rounded team will bring fans closer to the action live from Chase Center, San Francisco.
On the court, rising star Kaitlyn Chen is battling to secure a spot on the Valkyries roster again this season, aiming to “run the show” with greater impact. Her dynamic play and determination symbolize the team’s ambitions as it builds on a record-breaking inaugural year.
Record attendance signals growing WNBA popularity in Bay Area
The expanded TV access reflects and fuels the Valkyries’ surging popularity. The team shattered WNBA attendance records last season by selling out all 22 regular-season games at 18,064 fans per game. These numbers mark the highest average attendance in league history and demonstrate deep community support.
For Bay Area sports fans, free TV coverage combined with thrilling basketball delivers unmatched access and excitement. The Valkyries’ rising profile on network and local channels underscores the growing mainstream appetite for women’s professional basketball nationwide.
Watch and support as the season tips off next week
Basketball viewers in Colorado and across the US can tune in during the Valkyries’ upcoming season opener and beyond. Widespread broadcast availability removes barriers, making it easier than ever to follow the team’s quest for championship glory in real time.
“We’re thrilled to bring the Valkyries to a broader audience,” said the KPIX sports director. “This season is set to be bigger and more exciting for fans.”
