The WNBA Playoffs 2020 are right around the corner, and after a shortened regular season, the stage is set for a normal postseason in the abnormal Wubble.
Two teams – Las Vegas and Seattle – have double byes to the semifinals, and another two teams – Los Angeles and Minnesota – have single byes to the second round. The next four teams will play in a single-elimination first round to narrow the field down to six before another single-elimination round to cut the teams to four. That’s when the five-game series will kick in and continue into the WNBA Finals. The teams are reseeded after each round.
Here is when, where and how you can watch every moment of the WNBA Playoffs 2020 action.
