In a major win for the sports-focused streaming platform, Victory+ is becoming the new and exclusive local streaming home of the Minnesota Lynx. The agreement means Lynx fans will be able to easily stream many games for free, and beginning with the 2026 season.
Key Takeaways
- Starting in the 2026 WNBA season, Victory+ will stream at least 18 Minnesota Lynx games for free to fans in the Minneapolis–St. Paul region.
- This marks Victory+’s first WNBA partnership and strengthens its growing portfolio of women’s sports coverage.
- The Lynx agreement also follows Victory+’s recent multi‑year content deal with the Dallas Cowboys.
The win for Victory+ is the result of a new multi-year agreement announced today between A Parent Media Co. Inc. and the Minnesota Lynx.
The agreement arrives ahead of the start of the 2026 WNBA season, which officially tips off on May 8, and just in time for the Minnesota Lynx’s early-season matchup against the Washington Mystics on April 25.
With the new agreement covering the 2026 season, fans across the Minneapolis/St. Paul region and surrounding markets will be able to stream a minimum of 18 Lynx games for free via the Victory+ platform during the season.
“As we looked for a new broadcast home for the Lynx, we focused on fan feedback and how people are watching games today,” said Lynx & Timberwolves CEO Matt Caldwell. “Accessibility is a priority for our ownership group, and we believe Victory+ offers fans a streamlined, easy way to follow Lynx basketball.”
From Victory+’s perspective, the new agreement marks the first time the platform has expanded into the WNBA. It also helps to further build out the platform’s general coverage of women’s sports, which already includes National Women’s Soccer League, Women’s National Football Conference, and League One Volleyball.
“The WNBA is one of the fastest growing major leagues in the world and Victory+ is uniquely positioned to drive continued audience growth and fandom with free access to Lynx games across all streaming devices,” said Katie Boes, Chief Content Officer, Victory+. “Victory+ is thrilled to announce the Lynx as our first WNBA team partner and we look forward to offering their devoted fans best-in-class game coverage, news, creator content and features all year long.”
The agreement between Victory+ and the Minnesota Lynx follows Victory+’s multi-year content distribution deal with the Dallas Cowboys. Announced earlier this month, the deal sees Victory+ becoming the first third-party streaming home of a wide selection of Dallas Cowboys original content.
