The 2025 WNBA schedule is here, and it's already super spicy.
The season is just over five months away (May 16), but, the W wants to start chaos right now. The new schedule release is UNHINGED. (There. We said it. ) Admittedly, we live for parts of the mess. However, we really need to talk about the anticipated games. Some of these matchups are just wild.
For example, there will be FIVE Angel Reese versus Caitlin Clark matchups. (We're sure everyone will act totally normal .) The Liberty will host the Aces on the second day of opening week, the same night they get their championship rings. (Flexing on the team that ousted you last season ? Petty.) And there are four Caitlin Clark versus (we assume) Paige Bueckers matchups because WHY NOT?!
In honor of the chaos, here's 20 spicy matchups you'll want to watch:
