WNBA teams take 2026 schedule release to social media
It’s been 103 days since the end of the previous WNBA season. But when one season ends, another one approaches.
On Wednesday, the WNBA released the 2026 regular season schedule, which includes 44 games for each team and extends through November for the 2026 FIBA World Cup.
The league’s opening weekend will take place on May 8-9, with notable matchups including Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings taking on Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever. The defending champion Las Vegas Aces will open their season in a 2025 WNBA Finals rematch against the Phoenix Mercury.
The 2026 season will also see a Toronto Tempo team make their official league debut at home against the Washington Mystics while the Portland Fire will make their debut hosting the Chicago Sky.
The teams revealed their schedule on social media in a creative way. Here is the schedule for each team revealed.
