LAS VEGAS and CINCINNATI (March 13, 2025)–The Las Vegas Aces and Scripps Sports today announced a historic multiyear partnership to make Vegas 34 the official broadcast home of the Aces.

Under the new agreement, Scripps Sports will televise all non-nationally exclusive Aces games – with distribution on cable, satellite and over-the-air television. Financial terms are not being disclosed.

Scripps Sports will air all locally broadcast Aces games on its local station Vegas 34.

In addition to game broadcasts, the Aces and Vegas 34 are also partnering to produce and air “In the Paint,” an award-winning weekly, 30-minute show featuring highlights, interviews and behind-the-scenes access to the 2025 Las Vegas Aces.

“We are beyond excited to partner with Vegas 34,” said Nikki Fargas, Las Vegas Aces president. “Looking at the upward trajectory the Aces are on, winning two WNBA Championships over the past three years and playing in front of sold-out crowds night after night, this partnership with Vegas 34 will allow even more fans the opportunity to watch this incredible team as we to strive for our third championship.”

“The Las Vegas Aces are one of the best teams in the WNBA, and their passionate fan base deserves to be able to see the Aces on the largest available broadcast platform. Scripps Sports couldn’t be more thrilled to bring the exciting action of Las Vegas Aces basketball to Vegas 34 as this team pursues its third WNBA championship,” said Brian Lawlor, president of Scripps Sports.

Scripps also owns KTNV-TV Channel 13, the ABC affiliate in Las Vegas, which will provide a strong marketing platform for the Aces telecasts.

“Vegas 34 is proud to be the home of champions – as the place to turn in Las Vegas to watch the Vegas Golden Knights and now, the Aces,” said John Cook, vice president and general manager of Vegas 34 and KTNV-TV.

The Aces’ complete local television schedule on Vegas 34 will be made available once the full WNBA national broadcast schedule is announced. The regular season begins Friday, May 16.

About the Las Vegas Aces
One of the WNBA’s original franchises, the Las Vegas Aces trace their lineage to the Beehive State where they began life as the Utah Starzz. The franchise relocated to San Antonio in 2003, before moving to the Sports & Entertainment Capital of the World prior to the 2018 season. Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis purchased the team in 2021, and Aces fans were rewarded with back-to-back WNBA Championships in 2022 and 2023, becoming the first WNBA team in more than two decades to repeat as champions. The 2022 team also became the first major professional sports franchise to bring a championship to the state of Nevada.

In addition to the Aces success on the court, they have been equally successful in their off-court endeavors. In March 2022, the team moved into a 50,000 square foot headquarters—the first complex built solely for use by a WNBA team. In March 2024, Las Vegas became the first WNBA franchise to sell out its season ticket allotment as well as the first to sell out the entirety of the season, and the Aces are on track to pack the house for all their home games again in 2025.
