WNBA teams get creative for 2023 schedule release

WNBA teams and fans can prepare for the upcoming season when the league releases its schedule on Wednesday.

The regular season begins on May 19, 2023 and ends on September 10. It will be a campaign of 40 games per team, a record for the association. All teams play on the final day of the regular season, adding some drama to the upcoming playoff race.

Now that teams have their schedules in hand, their social media accounts have found fun ways to showcase them to their followers.

Here’s a look at the WNBA’s most creative schedule releases:

Chicago’s 2023 schedule features inspirations from Taylor Swift’s “Midnights”, Kendrick Lamar’s “Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, Beyonce’s Renaissance, and Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti album covers.

“I hope I’m not too late,⁰
To get those June games in order.⁰
I know I kept you waiting,⁰
but how much can you take?”

Come next June and watch Mr Wade and the Eurostepper#skytown pic.twitter.com/mXrYOC165Y
