Candace Parker Signs Multi-Year Extension with TNT Sports, Expands Analyst Role

TNT Sports has signed a multi-year extension with Candace Parker, one of basketball’s most accomplished players, expanding her role across its basketball portfolio.

The three-time WNBA Champion and two-time league MVP will continue as an analyst for TNT Sports and CBS Sports’ NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship coverage, a position she has held since 2019. Parker will now also serve as an analyst for TNT Sports’ inaugural seasons of BIG EAST men’s and women’s basketball and Big 12 men’s basketball, while remaining a lead studio analyst for TNT’s coverage of Unrivaled and contributing to Bleacher Report and B/R W.

“I’m grateful to keep doing what I love with my TNT Sports family,” Parker said. “Getting to cover the Big EAST, Big 12, March Madness, and now Unrivaled — it all means a lot.”

Parker retired in April 2024 after a 16-season WNBA career that included three championships, seven All-Star selections, Finals MVP honors, and two Olympic gold medals. She was named to the WNBA’s W25 list of greatest players and became the first player to win MVP and Rookie of the Year in the same season.

Beyond broadcasting, Parker serves as President of Women’s Basketball for adidas and is part of the NWSL’s Angel City FC ownership group.
