The WNBA is known for its world-class talent and thrilling on-court action, but this week, the league’s teams proved they’ve got serious game off the court as well. As anticipation builds for the 2025 season, WNBA franchises took to social media to reveal their schedules in the most hilarious and unexpected ways imaginable, setting the internet ablaze with laughter and excitement.
A Social Media Spectacle
From the moment the first schedule dropped, it was clear this would be no ordinary reveal. Teams pulled out all the stops, showcasing their creativity, humor, and marketing savvy in a dizzying array of viral-worthy content.
The Atlanta Dream kicked things off by inviting fans to a virtual “cookout” complete with mouthwatering graphics of burgers, hot dogs, and a larger-than-life 2025 schedule “menu.” Not to be outdone, the Chicago Sky dropped a mock true-crime documentary trailer investigating the “curious case of the leaked Sky schedule,” complete with dramatic music and incriminating evidence.
We wanted to do something that would really get people talking and show off the personality of our team and our city. The reaction has been incredible—our fans are loving it!

Memes, Mascots, and More
As more teams got in on the action, the reveals grew increasingly elaborate and side-splitting. The Dallas Wings spoofed popular food review shows with players hilariously rating each game as if it were a gourmet dish. The Indiana Fever pitted their mascot against the front office staff in a heated game of “Pictionary” to unveil each matchup.
Even expansion newcomers the Golden State Valkyries got in on the fun, releasing a hype video of their newest star reading the schedule in dramatic slam poetry fashion as iconic Bay Area landmarks whizzed by in the background.
Fan Engagement Reaches New Heights
The unorthodox approach to what’s typically a rather mundane announcement paid off big for the WNBA, with fan engagement metrics rocketing to record highs. Social media exploded with reactions, memes, and anticipatory chatter about the upcoming season.
I’ve never been more hyped for a season to start, and it’s all because of these wild schedule reveals. The WNBA is really showing how to connect with fans and build momentum in the digital age.
