After a 2024 WNBA season that saw unprecedented fan interest, the 2025 season is locked and loaded.
The league announced Monday that its 2025 regular season will begin Friday, May 16, and conclude Thursday, Sept. 11. The 2025 season will introduce many new additions, including the debut of an expansion team, the Golden State Valkyries.
The season will also include 44 games for each team, 22 at home and 22 away.
Golden State will play its inaugural game at home against the Los Angeles Sparks, preceded by the 2024 WNBA Finals runner-up Minnesota Lynx taking on the Dallas Wings, who are expected to land UConn Huskies guard Paige Bueckers as the No. 1 pick in the 2025 WNBA draft.
Opening night will also include the Atlanta Dream facing the Washington Mystics.
Each team revealed its 2025 schedules on social media Monday, doing so in creative and comedic ways. Here are the schedule releases of each WNBA team.
