Ahead of the 2022 WNBA All-Star Game, league commissioner Cathy Engelbert announced that the 2023 schedule will expand to a record 40 games for each team, up from 36 this year. In addition, she revealed that teams will fly on charter planes during the 2022 Finals.
“For the WNBA Finals we’re going to provide charter flights to our players, so for all Finals games that’ll happen,” Engelbert said. “In the spirit of finding other ways to compensate our players, we’re planning to increase the postseason bonus pools by almost 50% to a half million dollars … we’re just trying to chip away and find ways for the players and to lift them and to pay them more.”
