WNBA number of franchises limit
If we take 52 regular season games as the maximum number of games that can be realistically played in a season (as per the current CBA), preserve East/West conferences, and ensure each team can visit every other team at least once, then the maximum number of teams in the league is 22.
Playing teams in your conference 3 times (3X10) and teams in the other conference twice (2X11) = 52 regular season games. It's the neatest schedule.
So I think the WNBA intends to eventually expand to 22 teams with this 52 game regular season format. Playing teams no more than 3 times per season (to keep things fresh) but also playing every team once at home and away.
We have 3 Eastern Conference teams joining the league: Cleveland (2028), Detroit (2029), Philadelphia (2030). With Connecticut moving to Houston in 2027. Since the Western Conference currently has 8 teams to the 7 Eastern Conference teams, this preserves the conferences at 9 teams each.
This means there are 4 more potential spots, 2 for each conference. My guess is Boston, Miami in the East and Denver, Austin in the West will be the final expansion teams.
With 22 teams, playoffs will involve 12 teams with the top four getting a bye in the first round.
2026-08-15: Sun sign Ashlon Jackson rest-of-season contract and waive Rayah Marshall (again)
Apparently this was triggered in part by an offer for Ashlon Jackson from the Sparks???
Could be a coincidence…but still a little weird
Exact same scoreline…both Liberty and Lynx dominating by the end of 2nd quarter and both almost reaching almost 30-point lead at a point…both Sparks and Fire getting to a one-possession game in the 4th quarter…within days of each other (side note: a home game for the liberty??!?!?!?)
