How to Watch WPBL on Scripps Sports
Scripps Sports Network is a free, ad-supported streaming channel (FAST). It carries 11 regular-season WPBL games — not the whole season, and not the playoffs. The fuller watch guide is How to watch. U.S. paid path: ESPN+.

What “Scripps Sports” is (not a cable channel)
It is not a traditional linear TV number you can punch in. Awful Announcing and Yahoo Sports both reported that the ESPN/Scripps deal does not put games on ESPN, ESPN2, or ABC. At launch in March 2026, Scripps said the channel would be on The Roku Channel, Samsung TV Plus, LG Channels, Amazon Prime Video / Fire TV, Google TV Freeplay, Xumo Play, TCL tv+ / TCL Channel, Plex, Local Now, Sports.TV, and Tablo. A fan viewing guide also named Tubi. Availability varies by device and region — search “Scripps Sports” in your streaming apps rather than assuming every platform carries every game.
If you are outside the U.S.: YouTube (international). In Springfield you do not need a stream — tickets.
