This WNBA season will feature an all-time high 36 regular-season games.[2] However, the plan for expanded games was put on hold on April 3, when the WNBA postponed its season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] Under a plan approved on June 15, the league is scheduled to hold a shortened 22-game regular season at IMG Academy, without fans present, starting on July 24.[4][5]

gollark: Yes, "better", whatever.
gollark: Where you go buy shiny better headphones, it is amazing and wondrous for a while, and then you get used to it and now can't bear worse stuff.

gollark: I listen to all things on £12 headphones using my laptop's builtin audio and I seem to have mild tinnitus going on.
