WNBA playoff schedule 2024: Scores, news and highlights - ESPN

Can A'ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces three-peat? How long will rookie Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever — back in the WNBA playoffs for the first time since 2016 — stick around this postseason? Is this finally the top-seeded New York Liberty's year to win it all?

The 2024 WNBA playoffs are here, and it took the final day of the regular season to finalize the first-round matchups. The Atlanta Dream locked in the eighth and final playoff spot Thursday, while the Connecticut Sun edged the Aces for the No. 3 seed. That means Las Vegas still has home-court advantage, but is a No. 4 seed as it looks to become just the second franchise to win three consecutive titles (the now-defunct Houston Comets won four straight from 1997-2000).

The first round opens Sunday with the first-ever quadruple-header. Every game of the WNBA playoffs will air on ESPN Networks. Here's a look at the schedule:

Game 1: Atlanta at New York, Sunday, Sept. 22 (1 p.m. ET, ESPN)
Game 2: Atlanta at New York, Tuesday, Sept. 24 (7:30 p.m., ESPN)
Game 3*: New York at Atlanta, Thursday, Sept. 26 (TBD, ESPN2)
