The Phoenix Mercury have announced their local broadcast schedule for the upcoming 2025 season. This schedule includes 36 regular season games, marking a franchise milestone for locally broadcast games, alongside two preseason matchups. These games are accessible both over-the-air on Arizona’s Family and via streaming on Mercury Live. In addition to local coverage, eight games are slated for national broadcast, with one airing on ABC and seven on ION.

The local game coverage begins with the Mercury's regular season opener on Saturday, May 17, against the Seattle Storm. This game is part of their home opener, held at the Fry’s Food Stores at 7 p.m. PT. The preseason schedule also sees coverage of games on May 6 against the Las Vegas Aces and May 11 versus the Golden State Valkyries.

Broadcasting duties will be carried out by Emmy-award winner Ann Schatz and basketball Hall of Famer Ann Meyers Drysdale. Additional commentary will be provided by Braiden Bell, known for his previous role as the Valley Suns' play-by-play announcer. Complementing the team, Arizona native Kate Longworth will take on the role of sideline reporter.
