WNBA Playoffs free live streams: How to watch 2024 postseason basketball games without cable image

The 2024 WNBA regular season has concluded, and postseason matchups are officially locked in. Now, it's playoff time.

All eyes will be on the New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx, as they were the only teams in the league that racked up at least 30 wins during the regular season. They will be focused on reaching the WNBA Finals, but there is a group of gritty challengers looking to take them down.

The Liberty will meet the Atlanta Dream in the first round, and the Lynx will face the Phoenix Mercury. A'ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces are seeking their third straight title, but the Seattle Storm are standing in their way. Caitlin Clark and the Fever will collide with the Connecticut Sun in what should be a highly entertaining playoff battle.

Here is everything you need to know about the 2024 WNBA Playoffs, including how to stream games from each series.
