The 2020 WNBA season will begin with a matchup between No. 1 picks when Breanna Stewart leads the Seattle Storm against Sabrina Ionescu and the New York Liberty. That's just the first game of an opening-day triple-header, and at least 64 national TV broadcasts.
Early on Monday afternoon, the league released the full schedule for its 24th season, which will be the most unique in history. Like all other sports organizations, the WNBA has been forced to take extreme measures due to the coronavirus, and in their case, it means bringing all 12 teams into a bubble on the campus of IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.
Because of the two-month delay -- the season was supposed to begin on May 15 -- each team's regular season schedule has been shortened to 22 games. The postseason format, however, will remain unchanged. So far, 10 players, including Liz Cambage and Jonquel Jones, have decided to sit out due to health concerns and a desire to continue fighting for social justice.
Here's how many games each team will be playing on national TV. The new-look Liberty, led by this year's top pick, Ionescu, lead the way with 16; the Dream and Fever are tied for the fewest with seven.
- Atlanta Dream -- 7
- Chicago Sky -- 9
- Connecticut Sun -- 10
- Dallas Wings -- 13
- Indiana Fever -- 7
- Las Vegas Aces -- 13
- Los Angeles Sparks -- 13
- Minnesota Lynx -- 8
- New York Liberty -- 16
- Phoenix Mercury -- 11
- Seattle Storm -- 13
- Washington Mystics -- 8
Ahead of opening day, here's a look at how to watch every single national TV game, 40 of which will be aired on the CBS family of networks. That includes an Aug. 29 matchup between the Aces and Liberty which will be the first game ever broadcasted on CBS Television Network.
