2024 WNBA Season Tip-Off: Schedule Games and How to Watch
The time is NOW. Hoops fans have been waiting to see Caitlin Clark, A’ja Wilson, Cameron Brink, Stewie, Sabrina and Angel in action. And today, history begins. The 2024 WNBA Tip-off has some dynamic matchups lined up that you will not want to miss.
There are several rookies making their debut this week. Names that you know; because they all went hard in the paint in college. But to help you plan your sports viewing accordingly. Here’s a quick graphic with a nice overview of WHO, is playing when.
Furthermore, the season is kicking off with Caitlin Clark’s team (no surprise), the Indiana Fever will face off against the Connecticut Sun. It’s going to be fun to see Clark back in competition. Especially, since the last time we all got to see her hitting those 3’s was a couple of months ago in the NCAA championship tournament against Carolina. But… on a side note you can also catch Clark’s former Iowa teammate, Kate Martin and the Las Vegas Aces (last season’s champions owned by the Raiders’ Mark Davis); play on Disney+ and ESPN 2 in their house at 7:00 PM PT.
Now, Angel fans will have to be a little patient. Her big WNBA debut is set for Wednesday, but her first prime time televised game is this Saturday (May 18) at 8PM ET. The Chicago Sky will take on the Dallas Wings.

However, the WNBA also provided their own overview for basketball fans through ESPN, regarding opening tip-off. They reveal,
“The ABC/ESPN/ESPN2 broadcast schedule gets underway on Tuesday, May 14, as part of WNBA Tip-Off presented by CarMax with a doubleheader that will feature the Indiana Fever, which is positioned to add the No. 1 overall selection in the 2024 WNBA Draft presented by State Farm (Monday, April 15 at 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN) to a roster that features 2023 Kia WNBA Rookie of the Year Aliyah Boston, visiting the Connecticut Sun (ESPN2, 7:30 p.m. ET). The Sun are led by Alyssa Thomas, the 2023 Kia WNBA MVP runner-up and the league’s all-time triple-doubles leader, and DeWanna Bonner, a five-time All-Star whose 6,881 career points rank third among active players.
In the second game of the night, Las Vegas – led by two-time Kia WNBA Most Valuable Players A’ja Wilson and Candace Parker, 2023 All-Stars Chelsea Gray, Kelsey Plum, and Jackie Young, and the 2023 Kia WNBA Sixth Player of the Year Alysha Clark – tips off its quest to become the first team to win three consecutive WNBA titles since the Houston Comets won the league’s first four championships from 1997-2000, when they host the Phoenix Mercury (ESPN2, 10 p.m. ET). Phoenix is led by WNBA career points leader Diana Taurasi, nine-time All-Star Brittney Griner and new additions in 2021 WNBA Finals MVP and three-time All Star Kahleah Copper and two-time WNBA All-Defensive Team selection Natasha Cloud. The game will be preceded by a WNBA Countdown presented by Google edition which will feature coverage of the Aces Championship Ring Ceremony and Championship Banner Unveiling at 9:30 p.m. ET.”
Nice! There’s plenty of games already on the broadcasting schedule. With more changes that may occur during the year. So if you want to catch some women’s basketball; there are plenty of opportunities.
Moreover, if you wish to actually attend a live game, you will be happy to know that many venues are being changed. In order to accommodate the larger crowds wishing to see their favorite players ball out. The WNBA is experiencing record breaking demand for tickets. And are working feverishly to lock down bigger arenas.
For instance, the Washington Mystics and Las Vegas Aces have had to move games to bigger locations because of sales. So then, be sure to check for team updates regularly, as things continue to change rapidly as much interest in the league continues to be heightened and shone.
