Get this: The Golden State Valkyries can win their first WNBA championship just one year after the team’s inaugural season — and all before lunchtime back home in the Bay Area.
Game 6 of the 2026 WNBA finals between the Valkyries and Atlanta Dream tips off on Oct. 29 at 9:30 a.m. PT/12:30 p.m. ET and airs on USA Network, available to stream live via DirecTV (with a five-day free trial), Sling and Hulu + Live TV.
The potential title-clincher will also stream live on Peacock, and while the service doesn’t offer a free trial of its own, fans can claim two complimentary months of Peacock with any of DirecTV’s Signature packages, which offer the aforementioned free trial.

Where to Stream WNBA Finals Game 6 Online Free
Since Game 6 airs on USA Network, it will also be available to watch live on any streaming service that carries said network, including DirecTV (with a five-day free trial), Sling and Hulu + Live TV.
Thursday’s game will also be available to stream live on Peacock, and while the streamer doesn’t offer a free trial directly, fans can get two months of free Peacock access (thanks to a limited-time promo) through any of DirecTV’s Signature packages, which also offer the standard five-day free trial.
Here’s exactly how to claim DirecTV’s Peacock offer: Select your preferred signature package, then opt to add “Movies Extra Pack + Peacock Premium” where it instructs you to pick your add-ons. As indicated, you’ll automatically get two months of the Movies Extra Pack + Peacock included in your subscription (click here to see everything the add-on offers on top of Peacock). After two months, unless cancelled at any time, DirecTV’s Movies Extra Pack + Peacock will renew monthly at the then-prevailing rate.
For another savvy streaming hack, a subscription to Peacock is available through Prime Video and unlike direct subscriptions on PeacockTV.com, Peacock on Prime Video offers a seven-day trial period for the Premium Plus plan. Following the trial, unless cancelled at any time, the subscription will continue at the standard rate.
