How the WNBA works

THE 2024 WNBA season features 12 teams with the regular-season running from May 14 to September 9.

Each team plays 40 regular-season games – four against five teams from the same conference and two teams from the other conference, and three games against the remaining four teams.

The top eight teams in the league standings qualify for the playoffs – regardless of what conference they’re in.

The playoffs will use a best-of-three format in the first round while the semifinals and WNBA Finals are best of five.

This season also includes a month-long break for the Paris 2024 Olympics.

The Las Vegas Aces are defending back-to-back WNBA champions.

The WNBA has seen its popularity soar ahead of the new 2024 season, which begins Tuesday.

No. 1 overall pick Caitlin Clark blazed a trail for women’s basketball during her historic collegiate career.

Clark is set to make her eagerly-awaited debut for the Indiana Fever against the Connecticut Sun on Wednesday.

ESPN is rolling out a “WNBA Finals-like production” for Clark’s bow.

The 22-year-old recently signed a $28 million deal with sportswear giant Nike after leaving the Iowa Hawkeyes.
