In May 2021, the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) announced a three-year rights agreement with Amazon Prime Video.
The agreement marked the first time Prime Video acquired the exclusive global rights to a women's professional sports league.
The agreement gives Amazon the right to stream all Storm games not selected for exclusive national television in Washington state only.
Discovery (WBD), the parent company of TNT Sports, filed its lawsuit against the league in a Manhattan New York state court, seeking to delay the NBA's new 2025 media deals from taking effect and to rule that TNT's offer matched Amazon's deal.
[15] In September 2024, WBD accused the NBA of including "purposely onerous or immaterial" conditions in the Amazon contract that would have made it logistically impossible for TNT to match the contract, including a provision that the NBA coverage must be aired on a platform that also carries National Football League (NFL) games (alluding to Amazon's rights to Thursday Night Football).
