How to watch the Minnesota Lynx: Best options for 2025

What channels are Minnesota Lynx games on?

Minnesota Lynx fans can enjoy in-depth team coverage on FanDuel Sports Network North. Select national WNBA games can be found on ABC, CBS, CBS Sports Network, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, NBA TV and ION, as well as streaming on Amazon Prime Video. 

Watch the Minnesota Lynx on DIRECTV STREAM

DIRECTV STREAM is the most well-rounded live TV streaming service for Minnesota Lynx fans. The upgraded Choice plan includes ABC, CBS, CBS Sports Network, ESPN, ESPN2, NBA TV and ION. This tier also includes FanDuel Sports Network North without the added cost of a regional sports fee. 

All DIRECTV STREAM plans come equipped with unlimited DVR storage, although technically, recordings are saved for a maximum of nine months. Another very useful feature is the simultaneous streaming options: unlimited at-home streams and three out-of-home streams.

Watch the Minnesota Lynx on Fubo

Fubo is easily one of the best live TV streaming services for sports. Minnesota Lynx fans can keep up with their favorite team on the entry-level plan. That lineup includes ABC, CBS, CBS Sports Network, ESPN, ESPN2 and ION. FanDuel Sports Networks are also part of the Pro plan, but subscribers must pay a regional sports fee. Sports Plus with NFL RedZone adds NBA TV and more sports channels. 

One plus is the recent upgrade from 1000 hours of DVR storage to unlimited capacity. The 10 at-home streams are another perk.

Watch the Minnesota Lynx on Hulu + Live TV

Hulu + Live TV might not be top of mind when it comes to sports coverage, but it definitely belongs in the conversation. Among the platform’s channels are ABC, CBS, CBS Sports, ESPN and ESPN2. Hulu + Live TV does not carry NBA TV, ION, ESPN3 or RSNs like FanDuel Sports Network North. If you want extra sports action, subscribers can opt for the paid add-on that includes NFL RedZone, Tennis Channel, FanDuel TV, FanDuel Racing, MAVTV, Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel.

Subscribers also unlock Hulu’s impressive on-demand library, along with Disney Plus and ESPN Plus. By joining forces, these three bring a wealth of entertainment and sports content, including the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Disney's animated classics and UFC coverage. 

Like DIRECTV and Fubo, Hulu + Live TV offers unlimited DVR storage but only two simultaneous streams.

Watch the Minnesota Lynx on Sling TV

Sling TV is a stripped-down sports streaming service with two base plans - Sling Orange and Sling Blue. They can also be combined into the Orange and Blue plan. But if you’re specifically looking for Minnesota Lynx coverage, the Orange plan is the most practical option. ABC is available in select markets, plus you will have access to ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN3. There aren’t any RSNs, which means no FanDuel Sports Network North. CBS and ION aren’t part of the Sling TV family either. 

Subscribers can purchase the Sports Extra add-on for access to channels like ACC Network, SEC Network, beIN SPORTS, Tennis Channel and more. Sling TV is truly one of the best bargains on the market despite the meager 50 hours of DVR storage.

Watch the Minnesota Lynx on YouTube TV

YouTube TV’s 100-plus channel plan includes all the staples: ABC, CBS, CBS Sports Network, ESPN, ESPN2, ION and NBA TV. You can catch live Minnesota Lynx games when they’re broadcast nationally. You won’t find RSNs like FanDuel Sports Network North or access to ESPN3. But there are other sports essentials for your viewing pleasure, like Fox, FS1, Golf Channel, NFL Network and NFL RedZone. 

American football fans will appreciate the opportunity to subscribe to NFL Sunday Ticket, which broadcasts out-of-market games and is only available through YouTube TV. Plus, with YouTube TV's unlimited DVR storage, you can record an endless amount of sports content, stream on three devices at once and make up to six personalized profiles.
