Prime Video is making a major investment in its WNBA schedule for the 2026 season.
On Thursday, the media company announced its full roster of on-air talent for "WNBA on Prime," ahead of the league's 30th season. Hall of Famers Candace Parker and Swin Cash were previously named as part of the star-studded group leading WNBA coverage, but Prime Video's roster now includes additional iconic women's sports figures.
Hall of Famer Cynthia Cooper leads the media company's latest additions to its 2026 WNBA talent list. Two-time Olympic gold medalist and Duke women's basketball head coach Kara Lawson is also joining the lineup. Cooper and Lawson are part of a larger list of additional contributors, including Hall of Famer Teresea Weatherspoon, former WNBA stars Lindsey Harding and Ty Young and Emmy Award-winning broadcaster LaChina Robinson.
Cooper, who helped set the foundation for the WNBA, led the Houston Comets to four consecutive championships from 1997 to 2000. She was also named WNBA Finals MVP each time. The two-time Olympic medalist was the league’s leading scorer for three consecutive seasons and is a two-time regular-season MVP.
"Prime is just hot on the trails of everyone. They just do a fantastic job with their production and their graphics and the studio. Little things that they do to bring the fan into the game, and I wanted to be a part of that," Cooper shared with USA TODAY Sports."Women's basketball is so popular now. The W is huge, and I wanted to be a part of that energy and the energy that Prime brings to broadcasting the W games."
Lawson has been the head coach of Duke women's basketball since 2020 and, in 2025, was named the head coach of Team USA women's basketball. The Olympic gold medalist and WNBA champion also previously served as an analyst for ESPN and the Washington Wizards before transitioning to coaching.
