The New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx are back on the schedule on Saturday, and this one comes with all the useful details fans actually need: tip-off is set for 1 p.m. ET, the game is at Target Center in Minneapolis, and ABC will carry it live. For anyone trying to plan around the WNBA weekend slate, that is the entire point of a viewing guide — no guessing, no scavenger hunt.
These two already met once this season, with New York beating Minnesota 99-86 on July 3, so there is at least a recent reference point here. That game belonged to the Liberty, and it was the sort of result that makes a rematch worth watching closely. The Minnesota Lynx will want a far cleaner response on home floor, while the Liberty will be trying to back up that first meeting with another sharp performance.
How to watch Liberty vs Lynx
ABC is the television home for this one, which makes the broadcast side simple enough. For viewers looking to stream, DIRECTV and fuboTV offer the game and both services include free trials. That matters in a matchup like this, because there is no shortage of interest and no reason to make fans work harder than necessary to find the feed.
The first meeting between the teams was decided by New York’s balance and control, and that is the kind of template the Liberty will want to repeat. In that July 3 win, the box score did not leave much room for debate: Breanna Stewart had 22 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, while Sabrina Ionescu added 12 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists. Jonquel Jones also chipped in 29 points and nine rebounds, which is exactly the kind of depth that makes New York so difficult to handle.
But this is not just about revisiting a previous result. The Liberty come into Saturday off a Tuesday night 88-77 loss to the Dallas Wings, so there is a small edge of urgency here too. A team with championship ambitions does not want to spend too much time looking flat, even if the schedule keeps moving. Minnesota, meanwhile, gets the chance to turn the rematch into something more persuasive than a simple regular-season replay.
So the setup is straightforward: Liberty vs. Lynx, Saturday at 1 p.m. ET, Target Center in Minneapolis, on ABC. If you are looking for the live viewing details, that is the whole story — and for a matchup with this much recent history, it is more than enough reason to tune in.
