UNCASVILLE — In her preseason debut with the Connecticut Sun against the Toronto Tempo on Wednesday night, rookie center Raegan Beers realized she was really playing WNBA basketball the first time a jump ball was called. The NCAA rule is muscle memory for Beers, who was a two-time All-SEC first-team selection at Oklahoma. In college, possession is awarded to one team or the other based on an ...

If you walk back to just a decade ago, the litter of empty seats, 4,674 of 7,000 to be exact, during a Dallas Wings preseason game wouldn’t take you by suprise. Trumped by the NBAs mainstream popularity, broadcasters’ unwillingness to air more than 14 games a season and the overall sentiment of women’s sports being “unmarketable”, the situation was as troublesome as it was tragic.

The WNBA didn’t change overnight, but according to Lexie Brown, it didn’t stay the same either after April 15, 2024. Every now and then, a player enters the scene and changes the way a league is viewed.

The Dream added Caitlin Clark's rival, Angel Reese, via trade during the offseason.

Caitlin Clark is adamant that Kelsey Mitchell “embodies what the Indiana Fever are all about.” Clark may be the Fever’s cornerstone superstar, but the two-time All-Star herself will be the first to say that Mitchell is one of the most important players on the squad. A testament to this is that the organization wasted no time in extending Mitchell’s deal during the offseason.

With the WNBA season a week away from starting, Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark received some respect from Seattle Storm guard Lexie Brown. Brown, who has been in the WNBA since 2018, talked about the league's rise in popularity during an interview with Fox News Digital. She was more than willing ...

We're halfway through the preseason but can draw some big conclusions about how this season is going to go.

Sunday’s preseason matchup against the Connecticut Sun will be the final live opportunity for the Liberty to fine tune its offense before the start of the regular season. In last week’s 109-91 loss to the Indiana Fever, the team — as expected — looked like a work in progress playing in Chris DeMarco’s new system. DeMarco and his players now look forward to getting on the same page with the ...

In her first preseason WNBA game with the Dallas Wings, former UConn women’s basketball star Azzi Fudd got her ‘welcome to the league’ moment from the referees. Fudd, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft, came out strong and hit her first shot as a pro less than a minute into Dallas’s matchup against the Indiana Fever on Thursday night, dribbling into a textbook mid-range jump shot ...

PHOENIX — With the 2026 WNBA season just days away, Phoenix Mercury guard Kiana Williams looks to be a potential X-factor for the club based on her early preseason production and comfort level. Jul 16, 2025; Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA; Phoenix Mercury guard Kiana Williams (23) drives around Minnesota Lynx guard Natisha Hiedeman (2) in the fourth quarter at Target Center.

The Liberty’s valuation has tripled over the last two years as momentum around women’s sports continues to soar.

The Dallas Wings selected point guard Azzi Fudd out of the University of UConn with the first overall pick of the 2026 WNBA draft. While not a consensus first overall pick, Fudd was a First-Team All-American in her senior season with the Huskies and won the national championship in 2025 alongside Dallas’ first overall pick…
