2023 WNBA Season
The 2023 WNBA season is the 27th season of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). The Las Vegas Aces are the defending champions. The regular season was expanded to 40 games per team, becoming the most games scheduled in a single WNBA season. The 2022 season saw the schedule increase to 36 games and was the previous high for the regular season. This season will also be the second straight year that the playoffs will be an all-series format after returning to it in 2022. The first round will use a 2–1 format, with the higher seed hosting the first two games (differing from the 1–1–1 format previously used in 2015). The semifinals and the WNBA Finals will remain a best-of-five series.

For this season, players with more than two seasons of prior WNBA service who ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
