The WNBA season is expanding to a 36-game schedule and adding the Commissioner’s Cup tournament. The league had a 34-game schedule since 2003.

“The transformative collective bargaining agreement and expansion to a 36-game season signals the positive trajectory of our league,” said Storm CEO and general manager Alisha Valavanis. “We are eager to carry this momentum into this season of Storm basketball.”

There will be a break in this year’s schedule for the Tokyo Olympics from July 11 to Aug. 16.

The Storm will host 10 games at Alaska Airlines Arena before the break and resume games at Angels of the Winds Arena in Everett as construction of the Arena at Seattle Center continues.

Former league MVP Breanna Stewart will make her return from an Achilles’ tendon injury that sidelined her last year.
