# 2025 WNBA season

The 2025 WNBA season will be the 29th season of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), a professional women's basketball league based in the United States.
The league will expand from 12 to 13 teams with the addition of the Golden State Valkyries, who were first announced in 2023. The Valkyries will be the league's first expansion team since the Atlanta Dream in 2008.
The regular season runs from May 16 to September 11 with each of the 13 teams playing 44 games—four games against five teams from the same conference and two teams from the other conference, and three games against the remaining four teams. Five regular season games will be played against teams in the same conference to determine qualification for the WNBA Commissioner's Cup, an in-season tournament first played in 2021; the final will be hosted by the team with the better win–loss record in qualifying games. The 2025 season will feature a week long break for the annual WNBA All-Star Game in July 2025.
The eight teams with the best regular season records, regardless of conference, qualify for the 2025 WNBA playoffs to determine the league's champion in the 2025 WNBA Finals. Since 2022, the playoffs have used a best-of-three series in the first round, where teams are seeded based on regular season performance, and a best-of-five format for the semifinals and new this season, a best-of-seven WNBA Finals. The defending champions for 2024 are the New York Liberty.
