2024 WNBA Season: Here’s the full opening week and Commissioner’s Cup schedule

The WNBA just released part of its 2024 regular season schedule, and May can’t get here fast enough.

The WNBA’s 28th season begins on Tuesday, May 14 and will conclude on Thursday, Sept. 19, followed by the WNBA Playoffs. Like the 2022 reason, the regular season has a 40-game slate and also includes new format changes to the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup.

The opening week of play starts with a colossal talent matchup that features Chelsea Gray, Kelsey Plum, A’ja Wilson, Jackie Young, and the back-to-back-champion Las Vegas Aces against the legendary Diana Taurasi and the Phoenix Mercury at 10 p.m. ET. Fans will also get to see three more matchups on the same night.

Here’s the full opening week and Commissioner’s Cup schedule (all times ET):
