The matchups weren't finalized until the last day of the 2024 regular season, but the WNBA Playoff bracket is officially here.
The New York Liberty earned the No. 1 overall seed after finishing with a 32-8 record, and they will face the Atlanta Dream. The Las Vegas Aces, who are looking to become the first team to three-peat since the Houston Comets won four titles in a row (1997-2000), will meet the Seattle Storm in the first round.
Perhaps the most highly anticipated series is Connecticut Sun vs. Indiana Fever, which will mark the postseason debut of rookie sensation Caitlin Clark. The Minnesota Lynx, who won the Commissioner's Cup earlier this season, will battle the Phoenix Mercury in what could be the final series of Diana Taurasi's illustrious career.
Here is everything you need to know about the WNBA Playoff schedule, including TV and streaming options for the biggest games.
