The 2024 edition of the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup is off and running after an exciting weekend of basketball that saw the New York Liberty and Phoenix Mercury pick up big wins to take the early lead in the Cup standings. The action will continue Tuesday with three more games, including the Liberty vs. Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky.
Under a revamped format, teams will play five Cup games — which also count as regular-season games — over a two-week span from June 1-13. Each team will play the other five teams in its conference once, with three games coming at home and two on the road.
The team in each conference with the best record in those five games will advance to the championship game on June 25. That game will be played at the home arena of the team with the best overall record in Cup games, and a $500,000 prize pool will be at stake.
