If you want a real-time snapshot of progress during Women’s History Month, look at women’s sports.
In this episode of Last Night’s Game, Amy and Scott break down the state of women’s sports in 2026, from Olympic gold medals to professional league expansion, rising participation, record-setting salaries, and meaningful revenue growth.
We cover:
U.S. women dominating the Winter Olympics
The continued rise of the PWHL
Women’s flag football’s explosive growth ahead of the 2028 LA Olympics
The WNBA’s revenue-sharing milestone and league expansion
Unrivaled basketball’s record-setting pay structure
Softball’s Olympic return and a new professional league
Pro volleyball’s national expansion
Women’s March Madness is continuing to grow in viewership
This isn’t about potential - this is proof. The leagues are here, the talent is present (and winning), and it’s all being built right before our eyes.
PS: Want to support women’s sports? Buy tickets or merch, follow on social and celebrate their accomplishments from the rooftops.

We break down what's happening in sports in an easy-to-understand, fun way without all of the statistics and jargon, so you never have to exit stage left when the chatter at the office, dinner table or networking event switches to sports.
