The 2026 WNBA Finals continued to deliver strong television audiences, with Game 4 between the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries averaging 1.9 million viewers across NBC and Peacock on Saturday, according to the network.
The audience total marked a rebound from Game 3, which averaged 1.71 million viewers on USA Network and Peacock. Game 4’s audience also came close to the series-high 2.1 million viewers who watched Game 1 on NBC and Peacock.
According to figures shared by Colin Salao, citing Nielsen and Adobe Analytics, viewership for the first four games of the Finals has varied depending on the broadcast.
2026 WNBA Finals Viewership
| Game | Networks | Viewers |
| Game 1 | NBC, Peacock | 2.10 million |
| Game 2 | USA Network, Peacock | 1.33 million |
| Game 3 | USA Network, Peacock | 1.71 million |
| Game 4 | NBC, Peacock | 1.90 million |
Game 4’s audience increased by approximately 11% compared with Game 3, adding roughly 190,000 viewers. Compared with Game 2, viewership rose by approximately 43%.
Through four games, the Finals have averaged approximately 1.76 million viewers per game.
NBC and Peacock Games Lead the Viewership Numbers
The two games carried on NBC and Peacock have drawn the largest audiences of the series so far. Game 1 leads at 2.1 million viewers, followed by Game 4 at 1.9 million.
Meanwhile, the two games aired on USA Network and Peacock averaged 1.52 million viewers.
The comparison highlights the audience differences across the broadcasts, though it does not establish that the network alone accounts for the change. Other factors, including scheduling, competition from other programming and the appeal of the matchup, can influence viewership.
With the Finals continuing to attract audiences approaching two million viewers, the latest numbers offer another encouraging snapshot of interest in the WNBA’s championship series.
Viewership figures are based on Nielsen and Adobe Analytics data, as reported by the network and shared by Colin Salao.
