The highly-anticipated 2024 WNBA season is just around the corner. Training camps are now underway, and the first preseason contests will begin on May 3. Before we know it, opening night will be here, and another exciting summer of basketball will be underway.
Caitlin Clark, the No. 1 overall pick in the draft, will make her debut for the Indiana Fever, the Las Vegas Aces will try join the Houston Comets as the only teams to win three straight championships and new-look squads with plenty of star power will make their debuts in Seattle and Phoenix. And those are just a few of the biggest storylines.
Before any of that happens, here’s a look at all the key dates for the upcoming season.
April 28: Training camps open
Rookies began arriving in their respective markets a few days ago, and so did some veterans to begin individual workouts. Teams cannot start practices until April 28, however, for the official opening of training camps. Like any sport, this is a crucial period for teams, especially ones that have made significant changes. It is even more important in the WNBA, however, given the short season of just 40 games.
May 3: Preseason games begin
The first time we’ll see teams in action…
