How to watch Las Vegas Aces vs. Los Angeles Sparks: Live stream Cameron Brink's WNBA return
Cameron Brink is scheduled to make her return to the WNBA tonight. We've compiled everything you need to know about how to watch the Sparks vs. Aces, including live streaming options for those without cable. Following a 13-month recovery period, Brink has finally been cleared to return to action with the Los Angeles Sparks. The No. 2 overall 2024 draft pick tore her ACL early in her rookie season with the Sparks and has spent the past year recovering from the injury. Los Angeles will host the Aces at Arena for tonight's game. With an 11-14 regular-season record, the Sparks have already seen a much better season so far than last year, thanks in no small part to the addition of Aces alum Kelsey Plum. The Aces, who won the 2022 and 2023 WNBA championships, are 13-13, marking a much rougher season than the team is used to. A'ja Wilson, Jackie Young, and Chelsea Gray are at the helm of the Vegas team. Whether you're rooting for the Aces or the Sparks, we've got you covered when it comes to tuning in. Keep reading to learn some of the best ways to live stream the game, including services that will unlock a variety of other WNBA games this season. What channel is Aces vs. Sparks on? The Aces vs. Sparks game will air on NBA TV in the United States. The game, which takes place on the West Coast, is scheduled to tip off at 10 p.m. ET. How to watch Aces vs. Sparks in the US Cord-cutters or cable subscribers without access to NBA TV have a few different options for watching the channel. Some of the best live TV streaming services we've tested — including DirecTV, Sling TV, and Fubo — carry the channel in their lineups. These are month-to-month streaming services that function like cable alternatives, although you can cancel anytime and don't need to worry about long-term contracts. DirecTV is the best cable alternative you can stream, and the new genre packs allow people to stream top-rated channels at a reduced rate. The service's MySports pack carries NBA TV, and about 20 other popular live sports channels, including ESPN, TNT, and local channels (where regionally available). MySports also bundles in access to ESPN Plus. Subscriptions cost $70 a month, but new users can get a five-day free trial to decide whether the service is right for them. Sling TV is another popular way to live stream NBA TV. You'll need to subscribe to a base plan, either Sling Blue or Orange (for $46 a month), and then add on the Sports Extra ($11 a month). This will cost a total of $57 a month, but new users can get $23 off their first month of service. A base plan and the Sports Extra will unlock anywhere from 45 to 50+ popular live channels, including TNT, CNN, and AMC. WNBA fans can also live stream NBA TV through Fubo 's Elite plan. The Elite tier includes access to 200+ live channels, including nearly everything you'll need to watch the 2025 WNBA broadcast schedule. Subscriptions cost $95 a month, but new users can get their first month for $75 after a five-day free trial. How to watch Aces vs. Sparks from anywhere WNBA fans traveling outside the US don't need to worry about missing out on any of the action. They can keep up with their usual streaming methods from anywhere with the help of a VPN. Virtual private networks are easy-to-use tech tools that allow people to change their virtual locations. Plus, they're instant ways to boost cybersecurity. The services we've highlighted require US methods of payment, so this option will work best for Americans who are just traveling abroad at the moment. NordVPN is one of the best VPNs on the market, thanks to its user-friendly interface and impressive selection of global servers. Plus, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. You can learn more about the app in our official NordVPN review.

DirecTV cuts back a major service as consumers switch gears
It is no secret that consumers across the country have been ditching traditional cable TV for streaming services such as Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, and Paramount+ over the past few years. These services offer access to a wide variety of TV shows and films at significantly lower prices than cable. According to a recent survey from digital security firm All About Cookies, only 46% of Americans still use traditional cable or satellite TV services, and only 14% of cord-cutters regret cutting their cable. Also, 76% of Americans watch shows through paid streaming services. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Amid this growing trend, a recent report from MoffettNathanson found that traditional pay-TV providers saw a 12.6% decrease in subscribers during the second quarter of 2024. Cable providers lost 1.03 million subscribers, while satellite services, such as DirecTV and Dish, lost 495,000. Related: Comcast raises red flag about unexpected customer behavior In response to this major shift, DirecTV has recently ramped up its efforts to win back customers. Last year, the cable giant leaned further into the streaming business by offering them access to over 90 channels, such as MovieSphere, Fox Weather, Court TV, etc., for free through its MyFree DirecTV app. In January, it also launched its MySports streaming package, which offers access to over 40 sports and broadcast channels for $70 a month. The following month, DirecTV even introduced three new streaming bundles called Genre Packs. These bundles include MyEntertainment, MiEspañol, and MyNews, which all offer customers channels for under $50 a month, a cheaper option than DirecTV's traditional cable bundles. Image source: Fallon/Bloomberg via Getty Images While DirecTV is increasing its investment in streaming, it appears to be slowly phasing out its satellite TV service. According to a new message on DirecTV's website, the cable giant warns new customers looking to sign up for satellite TV that the service is no longer available in all areas. It encourages them to sign up for its paid streaming services instead. "DIRECTV Satellite is not currently available in all areas," said DirecTV on its website. "Check your service address by entering the ZIP Code of the address where you want DIRECTV service. Want the same package without the Satellite? Switch to DIRECTV Streaming App now by selecting that option below." Related: Spectrum struggles to reverse alarming customer behavior In a statement to TheStreet, a DirecTV spokesperson said this change is a "limited-time trial." "In select markets, this limited-time trial will increase awareness and adoption of our satellite-free streaming service, which has quickly become the preferred solution for new customers," said the spokesperson in the statement. According to a recent report from Cordcutter News, the areas that appear to be impacted by this change include large cities with solid high-speed internet access, which are great areas for DirecTV to push its streaming services. New customers in rural areas that have limited internet availability may, however, still have access to DirecTV satellite services. The move from DirecTV comes at a time when some Americans are starting to change their tune about paid streaming services, as a few recently raised their prices amid increased demand. According to a survey from digital security firm All About Cookies, 84% of respondents have canceled a streaming subscription in the past, and 44% said price hikes pushed them to make this decision.

For example, Paramount, which owns PlutoTV, revealed during an earnings call in May that PlutoTV "delivered its highest consumption ever" during the first quarter of 2025. That same month, Fox also revealed during an earnings call that its free ad-supported streaming platform Tubi faced "accelerating growth" during the same quarter.
