looking to get the pass so i can see Liberty games, but i'm concerned about blackouts since i'm in Niagara Falls, NY. has anyone heard of how or if local blackouts may change this year?
if you have experience with this blackout crap, how soon after the game has finished live does it show on League Pass?
TIA

My recollection is that they are on within a half hour of the end of the game, but I could be wrong. I used to use a VPN to avoid blackouts, but I think they were able to detect that last year. I ended up hardly using League Pass at all because I mostly follow the Storm and they had non-ESPN away games on Prime or a local channel.

It's pretty quickly after the games. No commercials. They often don't have the post-game wrapups.
With all the different exclusivity agreements, it's hard to know what to expect. I have Amazon Prime Video, as an example, but because of the Storm contract with Prime Video, I couldn't watch from Chi-town until after the game ended in Seattle.

Very little of it was universally free last time around. They might all be on YouTube now, most of the games weren't streamed there for free when they were live.
Generally showing acceptance and support of a league they don't own is an interesting move from the WNBA/NBA. Makes you wonder if they might run some kind of off-season league of their own at some point (or just buy the basketball strand of AU). |

I’m from Buffalo and you will be blacked out because YES is carried locally.

I'm not aware of generic promo codes unless your team offers one.
The Sky is once again gifting STHs with a free sub - we received personalized codes.
Blackouts are a pain with all the exclusive deals in place. Some make no sense. But games tend to be available to view on League Pass shortly after they end. There are no commercials, and you can rewind to your heart's content. Often the final post-game commentary is missing - what they talk about after the final commercial.
You can still also rewatch games dating back to 2015.

Waiting for the New York Liberty to issue a promo code to STH's
like they did last year....Only last year they issued it after the date
that League Pass auto renewal took effect .
It was a pain getting a refund from WNBA League Pass and The Liberty
were of no help.
Does the "Cancel" button just Cancel the Auto Renewal if
you press it and not your Account?
It is not indicated and I wonder why auto renewals are not easy to cancel and straight forward?
Hoping the Liberty will issue their Promo Code soon , like many other teams have, BEFORE AUTO REWAL DATE .

On April 5, I received a message stating:

Your annual WNBA LEAGUE PASS subscription will renew in 30 days for $24.99 with no action required by you. To manage or cancel your subscription, visit leaguepass.wnba.com and sign into your account.
If you have any further questions, please reach out to us at leaguepasssupport@wnba.com. |
Ideally, the Libs will get you the information before May 1!
If you remove your card information (assuming you stored it for the "convenience" of autorenewal), that should do the trick.

Quick question: Does anyone know if we'll finally be able to watch preseason games?

i don’t think they’ve ever been broadcast, no radio either.

There's been the occasional preseason game shown over the years, usually when they're trying to work out if a new broadcast system is actually working before the regular season starts. If you go to League Pass right now, they currently have one listed to be shown - the Dallas @ Indiana game on Saturday May 13. I have no idea why that one would be picked out in particular, or if they'll actually show anything when the game rolls around.
You'd think they'd want to show the Sky-Lynx game in Toronto - on the same day as that Wings-Fever game - given they've supposedly sold out Scotiabank Arena. A WNBA preseason game drawing 20,000 people in a non-WNBA market is something you want as many people as possible to lay their eyes on. |

Doris Burke and Vera Jones on this itty bitty AM station that fuzzed out if you moved the radio six inches... good times.

Canada Game tomorrow was added to the League Pass schedule (as long as you're not in Canada), alongside that Indiana-Dallas game. |

Apparently, you'll also be able to add League Pass through YoutubeTV this season that'll make it a little bit easier to watch for some. I've not received the official email from Youtube though...only seen posts about it on facebook & twitter.

Yeah it's very on brand for YTTV to do so - same with my NBA League Pass. I've not gotten an email about it though and some on twitter & reddit were saying that they received it.
Very excited about it though. There's no WNBA app on my chromecasts so this just makes life much easier for me.
