USA Sports Unveils WNBA Broadcast Team Led By Elle Duncan
The lineup arrives as USA Network begins a new WNBA rights package featuring weekly doubleheaders with select postseason windows.
Overview
- Duncan will host USA Sports’ studio coverage on USA Network, leading pregame, halftime, and postgame shows throughout the WNBA season.
- USA Sports also named Renee Montgomery to the studio team, with Kate Scott and Meghan McPeak handling play-by-play and Sarah Kustok serving as lead game analyst, alongside Paris Lawson and Edona Thaqi.
- Under the new deal, USA Network will air weekly regular-season doubleheaders, playoff games, and portions of the WNBA Finals in years aligned with NBCUniversal’s rights, beginning this season.
- Duncan joined Netflix in late 2025 after a long run at ESPN and her contract permits nonconflicting work elsewhere, with confirmed Netflix assignments including MLB Opening Night, the Home Run Derby, and contributions to NFL Christmas Day coverage.
- The hires reflect USA Sports’ post-spinoff strategy of building a distinct on-air roster for properties like the WNBA, complementing retained NBCU-era talent and positioning the network for a significant presence in the league’s new TV era.
