When training camp starts:
Training camp is set to begin on April 28. Players will have to lock in and get ready for preseason, which starts on May 3.
How it works:
This year’s WNBA draftees, as well as current players and those who receive an invite to camp will arrive in to their respective teams and begin training. Everyone is competing for a spot.

The date for final roster cuts is May 13.
What if my fav gets cut?
