WNBA Playoff Schedule 2024: Results, News and Highlights


WNBA Playoff Schedule 2024: Results, News and Highlights

Can A’ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces win their third straight? How long will rookie Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever — who are back in the WNBA playoffs for the first time since 2016 — last this postseason? Is this finally the top-seeded New York Liberty’s year to win it all?

The 2024 WNBA playoffs have begun, and it wasn’t until the final day of the regular season that the first-round pairings were determined. The Atlanta Dream secured the eighth and final playoff spot on Thursday, while the Connecticut Sun edged out the Aces for the No. 3 seed. That means Las Vegas still has home-court advantage, but is seeded No. 4 and looks to become the second franchise to win three straight titles (the now-defunct Houston Comets won four straight from 1997-2000).

The first round begins on Sunday with the first-ever quadrupleheader. Every game of the WNBA playoffs will be broadcast on ESPN Networks. Here’s a look at the schedule:
