2024 WNBA season

The 2024 WNBA season is the upcoming 28th season of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), a professional women's basketball league based in the United States.

2024 WNBA season
League	Women's National Basketball Association
Sport	Basketball
Duration	May 14 – September 19
Number of games	40 per team
Number of teams	12
TV partner(s)	ABC/ESPN/ESPN2 Ion CBS/CBSSN Amazon Prime Video NBA TV

Picked by	Indiana Fever

The regular season is scheduled to run from May 14 to September 19 with each of the 12 teams playing 40 games—four games against five teams from the same conference and two teams from the other conference, and three games against the remaining four teams. Five regular season games in early June will be played against teams in the same conference to determine qualification for the WNBA Commissioner's Cup, an in-season tournament first played in 2021; the final will be hosted by the team with the better win–loss record in qualifying games. The 2024 season includes a month-long break for the Summer Olympic Games that begins after the annual WNBA All-Star Game on July 20 in Phoenix, Arizona.

The eight teams with the best regular season records, regardless of conference, qualify for the WNBA Playoffs to determine the league's champion in the 2024 WNBA Finals. Since 2022, the playoffs have used a best-of-three series in the first round, where teams are seeded based on regular season performance, and a best-of-five format for the semifinals and WNBA Finals. The Las Vegas Aces are the defending champions, having won in the 2023 WNBA Finals to retain their title in back-to-back seasons.
