The 2026 WNBA season tips off this Friday with a triple-header, and for fans of former Marquette star Natisha Hiedeman, there's plenty to watch. The Seattle Storm, who signed the 2019 Big East Player of the Year and Marquette Hall of Famer this offseason, will kick off their campaign at home against the Golden State Valkyries. That opener airs on Ion as part of the network's Friday night WNBA package.

While not every Storm game will be nationally televised, 28 of their 44 regular-season contests will be available on major networks. That's a solid slate for fans who don't want to commit to a full League Pass subscription—unless, of course, you're a completist who needs to see every possession.

Here's how you can catch Hiedeman and the Storm on national TV this season:

- USA Network: 12 games
- Ion: 6 games
- NBA TV: 3 games
- ABC: 2 games
- Peacock: 2 games
- Prime Video: 2 games
- ESPN: 1 game

A quick heads-up on Ion broadcasts: some games may have regional availability restrictions. For example, Friday's 9 p.m. ET tip against Golden State is a standalone late game, but the July 17 matchup at Indiana (6:30 p.m. CT) coincides with Atlanta vs. Toronto and Los Angeles vs. Chicago. If you're determined to watch every Storm game, League Pass is your best bet. At just $40 for the entire season and full league access, it's a steal—provided you already have a cable package and don't mind missing the Prime Video or Peacock exclusives.

For Milwaukee-area fans hoping to see Hiedeman in person, there's one road trip opportunity: the Storm visit the Chicago Sky on Wednesday, July 15, for an 11 a.m. CT start at Wintrust Arena. Why the midday weekday tip? We're not sure, but if you're up for a quick drive south, that's your only chance this season.
