2025 WNBA season
This summer will mark the 29th season of the premier women's basketball league in the United States. For the first time, the New York Liberty - one of the league's charter franchises - began as defending champions. Meanwhile, the Golden State Valkyries enter as the WNBA's 13th team; as implied, their home court is the same as that of the Warriors, Chase Center in San Francisco.
Caitlin Clark, entering her second season with the Indiana Fever, once again dominates the TV and streaming landscape, with all but three of the Fever's 34 games scheduled for Disney, CBS, Ion, NBA TV, or Amazon Prime Video. Two of those - both against rival Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky - are to be shown by CBS in primetime, the first such over-the-air telecasts of regular season games in league history. In addition, Clark will be involved in two of at least four lineal pre-season telecasts scheduled, whereas there had been none before.
Speaking of which, this is the last year of the current deals; when a new contract takes effect in 2026 in tandem with new NBA deals from the previous fall, NBC will enter while CBS, Ion, and NBA TV will exit. All games not listed here will stream on WNBA League Pass.
