Sophie Cunningham joining USA Network WNBA studio coverage
Free agent Sophie Cunningham is joining USA Network's WNBA studio coverage during the upcoming season.
As Sophie Cunningham enters her eighth WNBA season, the former Missouri Tiger continues to expand her media profile. Cunningham announced on Instagram Tuesday night that she’s joining USA Network as a contributor to studio coverage during the 2026 WNBA season. Cunningham's role with the network's WNBA coverage will be similar to Draymond Green's past role with TNT and Caitlin Clark with NBC—both active players who also serve as broadcasters in varying capacities as their schedules permit.
Last September, USA Sports reached an 11-year media rights agreement with the WNBA to televise at least 50 games per season, including select postseason games. In that deal, the network will broadcast a pair of marquee games on Wednesday nights. View this post on Instagram Cunningham was traded to the Indiana Fever last season, where she averaged 8.
6 points, 3. 5 rebounds, and 1. 2 assists per game on 46.
9% shooting from the field, 43. 2% from 3-point territory, and 87. 5% from the free-throw line across 13 starts in 30 games played.
