Two days ago, I was puzzled to find that this list had no lead nor citations, so I took it upon myself to improve it to a good standard despite my relative lack of knowledge about basketball. In time for the 29th WNBA season, I present a list that I think is now worthy of featured status, and has been crafted by looking at works best in other FLs about sports league seasons.

Drive-by comment

As of the 28th season in 2024, each team plays 40 games during the regular season, which runs from May to September and includes a month-long break for the 2024 Summer Olympics that begins after the annual WNBA All-Star Game. This sentence is a bit odd given that the olympics aren't there every year. Maybe split into two? Nice improvement otherwise, especially since it was in just two days. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 03:58, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Went ahead and fixed that; once the 2025 schedule is released, I'll make it more clear that the Olympic breaks are a quadrennial thing. SounderBruce 05:02, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
