Alright, so here’s the deal. The 2025 WNBA season is, like, practically knocking on the door—kinda wild how time flies, right? Anyway, so Meta’s back at it again, streaming a bunch of games on Quest. You know, that Xtadium app situation and Horizon Worlds’ NBA Arena gig.
Here’s the skinny: if you’re chilling with a Quest, you get to watch 20 live games. And hey, five of those are gonna be in 180-degree video. Sounds kinda trippy, if you ask me.
So, what’s the deal with Xtadium? Well, it’s a US-only thing—sorry, global folks. You get live stuff, on-demand, the whole shebang. And they’re doing these virtual watch party things, both private and public, ’cause why not? The public ones are at the NBA Arena in Horizon Worlds. Find it there for free.
Hold up, starting May 27th, you can snag WNBA avatar gear in Horizon Worlds. I mean, if dressing up your virtual self is your jam.
Now, don’t get too comfy. Geo-restrictions are a thing, like always, so depending on where you are—surprise!—some games might not show up. Gotta love those blackouts, right?
Oh, almost forgot, here’s the game rundown:
– May 18: Minnesota Lynx at Los Angeles Sparks, 3:00 pm PT.
