The fans are on the edge of their seats after the exciting WNBA preseason games gave a preview of the upcoming thrills in the league. The new teams, players, and roster are all in for the ultimate prize. The broadcasters are also not behind with the Peacock network roping in A’ja Wilson, Sabrina Ionescu, and Paige Bueckers to promote their participation in the WNBA 2026 season.

The ad, designed to promote the WNBA on NBC/Peacock, features a “This is SportsCenter” style, with the stars passing through a “first day of work” tour of NBC offices. The big game players showed their interest and commented on various special photos the network had stored as memorabilia.

Moving through the passages, Bueckers stopped at Mariska Hargitay’s Olivia Benson and said, “Hard to believe she was a rookie once, too.” A’ja Wilson pointed at a photo of Weekend Update hosts-turned-sitcom stars Tina Fey and Amy Poehler and said, “These ladies changed the game, kinda like somebody else I know.”
