The 2024 WNBA season is coming to a close and the Fever and Sky are fighting to stay in the playoff picture.
WNBA teams have anywhere between eight to 10 games remaining and we're starting to get more clarity on how the postseason might shake out.
The Liberty, Lynx and Sun are the only teams that have clinched the playoffs, and the Storm and Aces are knocking on the door of a postseason berth. The Fever are creating separation from the first team out of the playoff picture, while the Sky, Dream and Mystics are battling for the final No. 8 seed.
Ahead of another highly anticipated matchup between rookie superstars Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese on Friday, take a look at the updated 2024 WNBA standings.

X: Clinched playoffs
WNBA playoff tiebreakers
The WNBA has five playoff seeding tiebreakers in place if two teams finish with the same record:
- Better record in head-to-head games
- Better winning percentage within own conference
- Better winning percentage against all teams with .500 or better record at the end of the season
- Better point differential in head-to-head games
- Coin toss
If there are more than two teams tied for the same seed, the tiebreakers are similar but have a slightly different twist:
- Better winning percentage among all head-to-head games involving tied teams
- Better winning percentage against teams within the conference (if all teams are from the same conference) or better record against teams in the opposite conference (if one or more teams are in different conferences)
- Better winning percentage against all teams with a .500 or better record at the end of the season
- Better point differential in games involving tied teams
- Coin toss
Fever remaining schedule
