WNBL set to reach record audience after huge deal
THE WNBL has signed a broadcast deal with Foxtel, Kayo and the ABC to air every game of the 2021-22 season, which will tip off on December 2.
The league’s Australian and international talent will be put on show, with more people than ever before given access to the competition.
All 84 regular-season games and finals will be broadcast live on Kayo, meaning fans have all their WNBL action available in one place.
In addition, up to two games a week will be broadcast live on Kayo Freebies and one game a week on Kayo Youtube, ensuring accessibility for all viewers.
The Foxtel Group has the largest audience of sports fans in Australia with more than 2.4 million households watching sport on Foxtel and Kayo. Both Fox Sports and ABC will feature a game of the round live each week in the premium 5pm Saturday timeslot.
The stakes have never been higher for women’s basketball with a World Cup in Sydney next year and an Olympics in Paris only three years away.
