I know a Cardinal fan who is going to all the women's basketball games this season, both home and away — WOW!
But most of us fans depend on media coverage of one sort or another to follow our team. Here's what's available this season.
You can find the links to all coverage of a given game, as soon as the information is available, here:
- The mini-schedule of upcoming games at the bottom of the FBC Home Page
- FBC Schedule & Results
- Stanford Athletics Women's Basketball Schedule
Television
I'm sure you've heard that there will be more televised coverage of Stanford women's basketball this season than ever before, which is true, but ...
The new Pac-12 Networks will cover 13 regular-season Stanford games, as well as the first three days of the Pac-12 tournament. However, nation-wide interest in West Coast women's basketball is not robust, and some large providers (for example, DirecTV and AT&T) aren't carrying the Pac-12 Networks. If you don't know whether or not you have access, go to the PAC-12 Channel Finder.
ESPN is covering three other regular-season games (UConn at Maples, Cal at Maples and UCLA in Los Angeles) and the Pac-12 Tournament Final.
The game in South Carolina will be covered by FOX Sports South and the game in Tennessee by SportsSouth. Your best bet to see these (unless you live in the south) is a sports bar — perhaps there'll be a Cardinal fan viewing party.
Webcasts
Pac-12 Networks is going to live-stream all non-televised Pac-12 women's basketball home games; i.e. those at a Pac-12 school, both conference and non-conference.
Access to these live streams is unrestricted. For Stanford games, just click on the link in the FBC or Stanford schedule at game time. You can find links to other schools' streamed women's basketball games in the Pac-12 Basketball (W) Schedule and Results (the WATCH links are live at game time).
Some of our non-conference opponents (for example, Gonzaga and UC Davis) may provide an All-Access video as they have in the past. That information isn't available yet.
Radio
KZSU 90.1 FM, the Stanford campus radio station, is planning to cover all the women's basketball games this season, both home and away.
Remember that you don't need to be in range of the station to hear the broadcasts. KZSU streams all its broadcasts to the internet. Just go to KZSU LIVE at gametime and select a channel — you can always find the women's basketball game on Channel 2.Don't worry if the KZSU Schedule doesn't show that a game is being broadcast. The schedule has not been kept well up-to-date in the past. Have faith!
GameTracker
And finally there's GameTracker, which provides current game action and stats, bandwidth willing. It's at least a bit better than postgame reports.
GameTracker will be covering most, if not all, of the Stanford games, but the links aren't available yet.

Thanks Marian!
I have xfinity tv. I am supposed to be able to watch live streaming on my very new iMac computer. I was not able to view the Corban and Vanguard games (click on Basketball W, click on WATCH). They kept shoving the meaningful football game that was on at the time. The 3 help chats I was on were not of help.
I can't explain your failure to watch Pac-12 live streaming. Neither the type/age of your computer nor your TV-provider should be a factor. I don't have a Pac-12 provider at all, and have no problem watching the live streams. In my experience, the stream is showing the scheduled event or nothing (because it's not up yet). Why don't you experiment with other games before the streamed Stanford/Fresno match on Friday? There's an OSU WBB game this afternoon and one at Arizona Monday night.
Good luck!
