WNBA Releases 2021 Schedule Ahead of League's 25th Season

The WNBA released its schedule for the 2021 season on Tuesday.

Each team will play 32 regular season games instead of 36 because of the Summer Olympics, which are set to begin in July.

Teams played an abbreviated 22-game season in a bubble last summer but will be welcomed back to their home arenas this year.

As part of the WNBA's effort to honor its 25th anniversary, the league is placing a new emphasis on highlighting star players. Last week, the WNBA revealed new uniforms that commemorate the league's milestone.

“As we tip-off this historic season with teams returning to play in their home markets, we celebrate the impact the WNBA has made on generations of young and diverse athletes and on sports and society since 1997,” WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert said.
