The women's pro basketball league was supposed to start its 24th season on May 15, but that start was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.  

On June 15, the WNBA announced that the entire season would be played behind closed doors at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.  Each team played 22 regular-season games, followed by playoffs and a championship series.

Live telecasts aired on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, CBS, CBS Sports Network, and NBA TV, Twitter, and Facebook.  All games not listed streamed on WNBA League Pass.
