Friday, May 19

New York at Washington, 7:00 p.m. ET

It's the debut game of the NYC super team as Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones, Courtney Vandersloot, Sabrina Ionescu and company look for their first win against a Mystics squad featuring a healthy Elena Delle Donne, who enters the 2023 season without limitations.

Connecticut at Indiana, 7:00 p.m. ET

We get our first look at No. 1 overall pick Aliyah Boston as the Fever host a Sun team featuring a new coach in Stephanie White and a new starting center as the reigning Sixth Player of the Year, Brionna Jones, takes over for the departing 2021 MVP Jonquel Jones.

Chicago at Minnesota, 8:00 p.m. ET

These teams met Saturday in the first-ever WNBA Canada Game, with Kahleah Copper scoring 18 points to lead Chicago to the win. Minnesota looks to turn the tables in Friday's regular-season opener, which includes the debut of No. 2 pick Diamond Miller.

Washington at Connecticut, 1:00 p.m. ET

This is a rematch of the 2019 WNBA Finals, won by Washington in five games, with both teams still featuring many of the core pieces from that matchup: Alyssa Thomas, DeWanna Bonner, Brionna Jones and Natisha Hiedeman for the Sun; Delle Donne, Natasha Cloud, Kristi Toliver, Ariel Atkins, Myisha Hines-Allen, Shatori Walker-Kimbrough and Tianna Hawkins for the Mystics.

Indiana at New York, 2:00 p.m. ET

These two teams enter the season with disparate expectations. After their marquee offseason additions, the Liberty join the defending champion Aces as title favorites; meanwhile, Indiana looks to lay the foundation for future success and build with a young roster.

Tuesday, May 23

Connecticut at Washington, 7:00 p.m. ET

It's Game 2 of the 2019 WNBA Finals rematch, this time in Washington, DC. This will be the second meeting in three days between the Sun and Mystics as half of their season series will be completed in Week 1.

Atlanta at Minnesota, 8:00 p.m. ET

These two teams have a history, with Minnesota sweeping Atlanta to win their first two titles in 2011 and 2013. However, no players on either roster were a part of those Finals matchups. Both teams finished outside the playoffs last season at 14-22 and look to return to the postseason in 2023 and compete for championships again in the near future.

Friday, May 26

Washington at Chicago, 8:00 p.m. ET

This matchup features the 2019 and 2021 WNBA champions. Chicago has only three players returning from that title team from just two years ago (Copper, Dana Evans and Ruthy Hebard, who is out on maternity leave), while Washington still has seven of the 11 players from its title team from four years ago.

Dallas at Seattle, 10:00 p.m. ET

Let's make this prediction official: Jewell Loyd will win the 2023 scoring title. Loyd finished 10th last season while playing alongside scoring champ Breanna Stewart. With Stewart in New York and Sue Bird retired, expect a jump in usage for Loyd and more buckets as she takes center stage for the new-look Storm.

Saturday, May 27

Los Angeles at Las Vegas, 9:00 p.m. ET

The 2023 Aces look to become the first repeat champions in the WNBA since the 2002 Sparks. LA last won the title in 2016 and there are currently more players from that team on the Aces (Candace Parker and Chelsea Gray) than the Sparks (Nneka Ogwumike). This game also marks the return of Dearica Hamby to Las Vegas following a bitter exit over the summer, although she remains on maternity leave as the season approaches.

Sunday, May 28

Indiana at Atlanta, 3:00 p.m. ET

The two most recent No. 1 overall draft picks – Rhyne Howard (2022, Atlanta) and Aliyah Boston (2023, Indiana) – meet for the first time in the WNBA. Howard is the reigning Rookie of the Year, an award that has been won by the top pick 13 times in the award's 25-year history.

Dallas at Chicago, 6:00 p.m. ET

The Wings added a new coach (Latricia Trammell) and a pair of All-Stars (Diamond DeShields and Natasha Howard) as they look for their first winning season since relocating to Dallas in 2016. During their run to the 2021 title, Chicago eliminated Dallas in the opening round as Copper (23 points) outdueled Arike Ogunbowale (22 points).
