The 2025 WNBA season was the 29th season of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). The regular season began on May 16, 2025 and ended on September 11. The fifth edition of the WNBA Commissioner's Cup was held from June 1 to July 1. The 2025 WNBA All-Star Game was held on July 19, 2025, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The playoffs began on September 14th and the WNBA Finals between the Las Vegas Aces and Phoenix Mercury began on October 3, with the Aces winning the championship on October 10, for their third WNBA title. For the first time, the Finals used a best-of-seven format.

In August 2024, the WNBA announced that the Indiana Fever would host the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game and related events in July 2025 for the first time in franchise history. Tickets for All-Star weekend events went on sale on April 29, 2025, and sold out within seven hours.

The league expanded from 12 to 13 teams with the addition of the Golden State Valkyries, who were first announced in 2023. The Valkyries were the league's first expansion team since the Atlanta Dream in 2008.

For the first time in league history, all 15 preseason games were televised nationally or streamed online via League Pass.
