The Golden State Valkyries visit the Las Vegas Aces in Game 3 with a chance to clinch a spot in the WNBA Finals. (Billy Cadden)
The Golden State Valkyries are one win away from the WNBA Finals, and now they get their first chance to finish the job on the road. After taking care of business at Chase Center with back-to-back wins over the defending champion Las Vegas Aces, the Valkyries head to Vegas with a 2-0 lead and all the pressure sitting on the other side. For a Bay Area fan base already watching one of sports’ wildest expansion stories, tonight could become another massive moment.
Las Vegas won’t go quietly, especially with A’ja Wilson, championship experience, and a home crowd behind it, but Golden State has already changed the tone of this series. The Valkyries won Game 1 comfortably, then held off the Aces 83-81 in Game 2, pushing the defending champs to the brink. A win tonight would send Golden State to the WNBA Finals, while a loss would give Las Vegas a little life. The Valkyries have a chance to end it here and now, making Game 3 must-watch basketball for the Bay Area.
Game 3 tips off tonight at 6:30 p.m. PDT at Michelob Ultra Arena, and basketball fans across the country can tune in on Peacock.

How to stream the Valkyries vs. Aces Game 3 without cable
The Valkyries can sweep the Aces tonight on Peacock, with Golden State one win away from its first trip to the WNBA Finals. We always recommend Sling TV for big games like this, but NBCSN isn’t available on Sling, so Peacock is the easiest way to stream Game 3.
Peacock Premium costs $12.99/month and includes live sports and events, making it the cheapest Peacock plan that works for tonight’s semifinal matchup. Peacock Premium Plus costs $19.99/month and includes the same live sports access, plus upgrades like no ads on most content (excluding most sports), more downloads, and local NBC live access.
Peacock is also the cleanest option for the rest of this series if the Valkyries drop one tonight. Game 3 is on Peacock and NBCSN, and any necessary Game 4 or 5 would use the same setup, so signing up now keeps you covered if the Aces extend the series.
While Peacock is the best fit for Valkyries vs. Aces and other live sports on NBC, fans who want a bigger channel lineup should look at these live TV streaming platforms that carry NBCSN:
-
fuboTV ($63.99 for the first month, then $88.99/month with a 5-day free trial)
-
Hulu + Live TV ($89.99/month with a 3-day free trial; also includes Disney+ and ESPN Unlimited)
-
YouTube TV ($59.99/month for the first two months, then $82.99/month with a variable free trial)
