DirecTV is the best cable streaming option for sports fans, and it carries ESPN and ABC in a few packages for WNBA Finals livestreams. The most affordable plan with both channels is the MySports package, which costs $69.99 a month after a five-day free trial.

Fubo also carries both ESPN and ABC, plus up to 300+ other channels for more sports and entertainment. Get a five-day free trial to start before pricing kicks in at $55.99 a month for the service’s most affordable package.

ESPN’s new Unlimited app will let you livestream every WNBA Finals game. The service costs $29.99 a month, but does not offer a free trial. Right now, you can also get the ESPN Unlimited, Disney+, and Hulu bundle for the same price of $29.99 a month for 12 months, instead of $35.99 a month.

Sling also carries ESPN and ABC, but you’ll need to get their upgraded Orange + Blue package, which starts at $60.99 a month. Sling does not currently offer a free trial.
