The WNBA enters its 30th season with momentum that’s impossible to ignore. Bigger player salaries, new expansion franchises, celebrity ownership groups, rising stars like Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers, and more national coverage have transformed the league into one of the most exciting stories in sports.
In this episode of the Last Night’s Game podcast, Amy and Scott break down what casual fans need to know about the 2026 WNBA season. They explain the league’s salary boom, why new teams in Portland and Toronto matter, how the WNBA compares to the NBA, and why this version of women’s basketball is must-watch.
Whether you’re already a fan or simply WNBA-curious, this episode gives you everything you need to sound smart when sports come up.
