2024 WNBA Playoff Schedule: Scores, News and Highlights

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

The 2024 WNBA playoffs are here, and it took until the final day of the regular season to finalize the first-round games. The Atlanta Dream clinched the eighth and final playoff spot on Thursday, while the Connecticut Sun edged out the Aces for third place. That means Las Vegas still has home-field advantage but a fourth-place finish as it looks to become the second franchise to win three straight titles (the now-defunct Houston Comets won four in a row from 1997-2000).

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