CBS and Paramount+ coverage for Golden State Valkyries at Las Vegas Aces: who is commentating tonight?
Match date:
Golden State Valkyries at Las Vegas Aces in the WNBA regular season will be shown in the United States on CBS and streamed on Paramount+, with Hailey Sutton presenting, Chris Lewis as lead commentator, and Debbie Antonelli alongside him in the co-commentary role. AJ Ross is listed as reporter, while Sydney Marsh and Erica Ayala are billed as pundits for the broadcast. The game is scheduled for Sunday, 21 June 2026, with the local tip-off time listed as 1:00 pm in Las Vegas, which is 21:00 UK time. [2][4]
This is a notable broadcast because CBS and Paramount+ have been central US destinations for selected WNBA coverage, while UK viewers typically rely on the relevant rights holder or streaming arrangement for live access rather than a UK terrestrial network. The matchup itself also carries weight: the Aces are the defending champions and were previewed at home against the Valkyries, who are making their mark in the Western Conference. [3][4]
Hailey Sutton has become a familiar face around WNBA and basketball coverage, known for her courtside presentation and interview work that keeps live broadcasts moving smoothly. Chris Lewis is the game’s lead voice, a role that usually requires clear play-by-play rhythm and strong game context, while Debbie Antonelli brings established colour commentary experience from years in basketball television and radio. AJ Ross is a seasoned sideline reporter across major US sports coverage, bringing live reaction and injury or tactical updates from the floor. Sydney Marsh and Erica Ayala add studio-style insight as pundits, rounding out a broadcast team built to cover both the tactical detail and the human angle of the contest. [2][3]
On the court, the fixture arrives with recent evidence that the Aces can control this matchup: Las Vegas beat Golden State 91-81 in a meeting on 31 May, with A'ja Wilson leading the way on 28 points and 15 rebounds. Jackie Young also produced a major all-round performance in that game, which underlines why Las Vegas remain the side to beat at home. [1]
For viewers wanting a quick reference point, the live game listing is also carried by ESPN’s WNBA game tracker, which confirms the contest as Valkyries vs. Aces on 21 June 2026. [4]
