WNBA 2025 Season Preview

The 2025 WNBA season, the league’s 29th, began on May 16, 2025, and is set to conclude on September 11, 2025, with a record 44-game regular season per team due to the addition of the Golden State Valkyries, the first expansion team since 2008. The season features over 200 games, the fifth Commissioner’s Cup (June 1–July 1), the All-Star Game on July 19 in Indianapolis, and a best-of-seven WNBA Finals in October, a first for the league. Coming off a historic 2024 season with record viewership (170% increase), attendance, and merchandise sales, the WNBA is poised for its most exciting campaign yet, fueled by star power, coaching changes, and roster shake-ups.

The Liberty, 2024 champions with a 32-8 record, return their core of Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones, Sabrina Ionescu, and added Natasha Cloud for playmaking and defense. They’re preseason favorites to repeat, a feat not achieved since the 2022-23 Las Vegas Aces, but face challenges from a motivated Minnesota Lynx squad. Nyara Sabally’s emergence as a bench spark (nine points in Game 5 of the 2024 Finals) adds depth.

After a heartbreaking overtime loss in Game 5 of the 2024 Finals, the Lynx return their entire starting lineup, led by 2024 Defensive Player of the Year Napheesa Collier, an MVP contender. With additions like Karlie Samuelson for three-point shooting and young talents like Diamond Miller and Alissa Pili, Minnesota is ESPN’s preseason favorite to win a record fifth title.

Caitlin Clark, the 2024 Rookie of the Year, set records with 337 assists and 769 points in her debut season. With an offseason to refine her game (34% from three, 5.6 turnovers per game), Clark’s improved strength and scoring versatility (e.g., floaters, left-handed drives) make the Fever a playoff contender. New additions DeWanna Bonner, Natasha Howard, and coach Stephanie White bolster their title hopes.
