In a landmark deal, Amazon\u2019s Prime Video becomes the official streaming partner of the Seattle Storm and one of the first streaming services to hold local broadcast rights to a team in the WNBA.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nIn addition to coverage of the Storm, WNBA coverage on Prime Video returns with 17 exclusive, nationally televised in-season games, including the second annual WNBA Commissioner\u2019s Cup by Coinbase and the Cup Championship Game on July 26.

\u201cThe Seattle Storm is an iconic franchise and we are honored to bring its games to Prime members across the entire state of Washington,\u201d said Marie Donoghue, vice president of Global Sports Video at Amazon. \u201cWe are also thrilled to build on last year\u2019s success by again offering a full slate of exclusive WNBA matchups nationally, culminating in our exclusive coverage of the second annual Commissioner\u2019s Cup.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is special to partner with Amazon, another Seattle hometown team, on something this game-changing for the Storm organization and our fans,\u201d added\u00a0Alisha Valavanis, Storm president and CEO. \u201cA major focus for us is growing the visibility and reach of Storm basketball.
