Blackouts are specific to your current location, which is determined by the IP address or location services (if turned on) of your device. Within the US, a zip code is used to determine what teams are covered by your local broadcast and subsequently blacked out on WNBA League Pass. If your location changes, your blackout restrictions for live, locally televised games could also change.
