Atlanta returns to the Finals for the third time in four years and is in search of its first franchise title.

All games will be accessible online at WatchESPN.com, on smartphones and tablets via the WatchESPN app, through ESPN on Xbox LIVE to Gold members and on Apple TV to fans who receive their video subscription from an affiliated provider.

Many of the league’s best players will be on display during the Finals, including All-WNBA First Team selections Maya Moore and Lindsey Whalen (both Minnesota Lynx) as well as All-WNBA Second Team picks Seimone Augustus (Minnesota Lynx) and Angel McCoughtry (Atlanta Dream).

The trio of Ryan Ruocco, Rebecca Lobo and Holly Rowe will have the call while Carolyn Peck will offer analysis from ESPN’s Bristol, Conn., studio.
