The WNBA returns after a month-long hiatus, due to the WNBA All-Star Game and the Summer Olympics in Paris.

Before the break, the New York Liberty sits at the top of the league, while the Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever are holding on to the bottom of the playoff spots — thanks to rookie sensations Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark‘s, respectively, stellar gameplay on the basketball court.

For the rest of the 2024 regular season, games re-start with the Phoenix Mercury vs. the Chicago Sky on Thursday, Aug. 18 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on Prime Video.

Meanwhile, the Washington Mystics take on Commissioner’s Cup-winners Minnesota Linx at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on ESPN3 and the New York Liberty play against the Los Angeles Sparks at 9 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on ESPN. Click here for all upcoming games for the second half of the WNBA season.
