The WNBA is thinking about making their season even longer! Get ready for 44 games in 2025, a whopping increase from the current 40 games. Commissioner Cathy Engelbert explained that this change is possible because there are no big international competitions like the Olympics or FIBA World Cup next year. With new teams joining the league in Golden State (2025) and Toronto (2026), the WNBA is set for a bigger future. They are already celebrating a record-breaking season with high attendance, viewership, and merchandise sales. They are also working on a media deal worth $2.2 billion, a big step for women’s sports. The league is also investigating the Las Vegas Aces for sponsorship deals and is looking to hold games all over the world, including Europe, Asia, and Mexico City.
