How Does the Olympics Impact the WNBA Playoffs?
The 2024 season is the 28th for the league. While the playoffs get started on September 22nd, 2024, there will be a 30 day pays for the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics. The pause is combined with the WNBA All-Star game (July 20th). The U.S. The Olympics women’s basketball team is already holding camps around the player’s professional schedules, so the team should be pretty set here soon (they have already qualified for the Olympics 5 x 5 and 3 x 3). There is no impact on the total number of games played in the regular season (40)….just the 30 days of not playing against other teams within the league.
