History

Historical Context

Founded in 1997, the WNBA opened with eight teams and a debut game where the New York Liberty beat the Los Angeles Sparks 67–57 before 14,284 fans at the Great Western Forum. Early TV deals and star signings, such as Sheryl Swoopes, set league credibility. That legacy of security and star power echoes today as the Las Vegas Aces clinch an overtime win over the Indiana Fever.
