History

Historical Context

The WNBA was founded on April 24 1996, launching with eight teams under its first president Val Ackerman, who created the league’s initial disciplinary procedures. Those early rules set a precedent for later reviews, such as the August 8 2026 reversal of Caitlin Clark’s technical-foul fine. The continuity shows how the league’s original governance still shapes player accountability.
