The WNBA Finals begin Wednesday with Game 3, this time in Minnesota. Below we’ve compiled everything you need to know about where to watch Lynx vs. Liberty, including its upcoming start time, channel and streaming options.

The New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx are tied heading into Game 3. While the Lynx won the first game 95-93 after an exciting night that ended in overtime, the Liberty prevailed in the second game with an 80-66 victory. While the Liberty led the league this year and were looking for their first championship win, the Lynx (ranked 2) have four titles, so it should be a tough battle for both teams until the end.
