NESN To Broadcast 23 Connecticut Sun Games in the 2019 Season

The WNBA’s Connecticut Sun and NESN have partnered to televise 23 Sun games on NESN and NESNplus during the 2019 season.

“This new partnership is tremendous for the Connecticut Sun and its loyal fan base,” stated Amber Cox, Vice President, Connecticut Sun. “With 23 games locally on NESN combined with our national coverage, we can now showcase our exciting brand of basketball in households across New England. Ratings for the WNBA continue to rise – fans want to watch, attend and follow – and this helps us deliver on that. Not to mention, the promotional muscle NESN provides us through their other live programming allows us to expose new fans to our game, experience and players.”

NESN will begin televising Sun games on Tuesday, May 28 at 7 p.m. when the Sun host the Indiana Fever at Mohegan Sun Arena. That game can be viewed on NESNPlus. The complete Connecticut Sun on NESN schedule can be found HERE.
