# 2023 WNBA season

The 2023 WNBA season was the 27th season of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). The defending champions, the Las Vegas Aces, repeated as champions after defeating the New York Liberty 3 games to 1 in the Finals.
The regular season was expanded to 40 games per team, becoming the most games scheduled in a single WNBA season. The 2022 season saw the schedule increase to 36 games and was the previous high for the regular season. This season was also the second straight year that the playoffs used an all-series format after returning to the format in 2022. The first round used a 2–1 format, with the higher seed hosting the first two games (differing from the 1–1–1 format previously used in 2015). The semifinals and the WNBA Finals remained a best-of-five series.
Arguably the most significant change to the league this season was the enforcement of the so-called "prioritization clause" in the collective bargaining agreement between the league and its players' union. For this season, players with more than two seasons of prior WNBA service who did not report to their teams by the designated start of training camp or May 1, whichever is later, faced mandatory fines. Those who missed the start of the regular season were suspended for the season. From 2024 on, those who miss the start of training camp will be suspended for the season.

## 2023 WNBA draft

The Indiana Fever won the first pick in the 2023 WNBA draft in the draft lottery. This was the first time in Indiana's franchise history that they won the first pick. They were followed by the Minnesota Lynx for second, Atlanta Dream for third, and the Washington Mystics for fourth. The Mystics received the fourth pick in the lottery after trading for the Los Angeles Sparks' pick during the 2022 season. The Dream had originally held the Sparks' pick, but traded it to the Mystics prior to the 2022 WNBA draft, when they acquired the first overall pick.

## Media coverage

In March 2023, the WNBA announced that they and ESPN would show up to 52 possible games throughout the regular season and playoffs. The first broadcast happened on May 19, 2023, when the Phoenix Mercury visit the Los Angeles Sparks on ESPN.
As far as the United States' WNBA television schedule, it showed 10 broadcasts on ABC including the 2023 WNBA All-Star Game, 10 on ESPN, and 5 on ESPN2. The All-Star Game was aired in primetime for the first time ever, as well.
WNBA Countdown is now available throughout the regular season with at least 10 editions immediately preceding game broadcasts.
On April 20, 2023, Ion Television signed on as a multi-year broadcast partner, with a doubleheader that includes nationally televised games and regional games on Friday nights. Their first broadcast was May 26, 2023, when the Washington Mystics visited the Chicago Sky.
