Could this be the end for the Las Vegas Aces? That's the question surrounding tonight's WNBA semifinal game. Below, we've put together everything you need to know about where to watch the New York Liberty vs. Las Vegas Aces, including how to live stream it.
The Aces and Liberty will square off for a third, possibly final game tonight as part of the WNBA's Playoffs semifinals. The Aces finally return to their home court tonight, following two losses in a row in New York. The Aces, ranked fourth in the league this year, have had a less than stellar season, a shakeup from the past two years that saw them win the Championship title twice in a row.
The Liberty, ranked first in the league, is trying for its first-ever Championship win in league history after falling to the Aces in the Finals last year. Since Round 2 of the WNBA Playoffs is the best of five, another Liberty victory will send the Aces home for good. But if the Aces pull off a win, they'll live to fight another day with the potential Game 4 on Sunday.
Even if this is the end of the line for the Aces, the Sun vs. Lynx will still have at least one more game in their series. For info on upcoming match-ups, make sure to check out our WNBA Playoffs streaming guide.
How to watch New York Liberty vs. Las Vegas Aces in the US
The New York Liberty vs. Las Vegas Aces game will air at 9:30 p.m. ET on Friday, October 4, on ESPN2 in the US. The game will start immediately after the conclusion of the Sun vs. Lynx game. ESPN2 is available as a part of most major cable plans, but if you don't have access, you can live stream the network through a month-to-month live TV package. Sling TV, DirecTV Stream, and Fubo are three of the top options out there, and all three services made the cut on our roundup of the best sports streaming services.
Sling is the cheapest way you can live stream ESPN2. Sling's Orange plan offers ESPN, ESPN2, and 33 other live channels for $40/month. You can get your first month for $25 off right now, meaning that you'll only end up spending $15 tonight.
DirecTV Stream and Fubo are two other popular packages with ESPN2, plus tons of other live channels, which makes them a bit more expensive than Sling. These are great options if you're looking for a true cable replacement. Both services start at $80/month, although DirecTV Stream is about to go up to $87/month. DirecTV Stream offers a five-day free trial, and Fubo offers a seven-day free trial, so both options allow new customers to try them out.
