About The 2024 WNBA Playoffs

The WNBA playoff format consists of three rounds. In the first round, teams play a best-of-three series, moving to a best-of-five for the semifinals and finals. The New York Liberty secured the No. 1 seed after a dominant 32-8 season, led by MVP candidate Breanna Stewart. They’re seeking revenge after falling short in the 2023 Finals to the two-time defending champion Las Vegas Aces, who will be looking for a historic three-peat. Meanwhile, the Indiana Fever made the dance as the No. 6 seed for the first time since 2016 on the back of former-college star Caitlin Clark. They’ll be looking to beat the No. 3 seed Connecticut Sun to advance to the semifinals. Don’t miss any of the WNBA playoff action across ABC, ESPN, and ESPN2.

Why We Like Hulu + LIVE TV For Watching The 2024 WNBA Playoffs

Hulu + Live TV is our favorite way to watch the 2024 WNBA Playoffs especially now that it offers a three-day free trial. And with plans starting at $76.99 per month, you can save a bit of money by going with this service. Not only does it carry ABC, ESPN and ESPN2 to watch all the WNBA playoffs games, but it also includes Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu in the price, which is a $14.99 monthly value. That makes Hulu + Live TV too good of a bargain to ignore for those who like to optimize their budgets.

Keep in mind that on Oct. 17, Disney will raise the price of nearly all of its streaming products, including Hulu + Live TV. Both the plan that includes the ad-supported Disney bundle and the one that comes with the ad-free option will increase by $6 per month. So, it might be worth looking into a lower-cost option when that kicks in.
