About this episode

The episode discusses the start of the WNBA's 30th season, highlighting historical season openers and the new rookie class.

23 of 29 WNBA champions won their season opener, but the exceptions are legendary. The 2003 Shock went worst-to-first after losing Game 1, the 2019 Mystics lost their opener by 15 before beating Connecticut in the Finals, and the 2025 Aces dropped Opening Night by 14 before winning the title. Now the WNBA’s 30th season is here, and 19 of 45 draft picks made opening day rosters. We’re breaking down the stacked rookie class featuring Azzi Fudd, Olivia Miles, Flau'jae Johnson, Lauren Betts, Raven Johnson and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
