Women's National Basketball Association

Basketball is played with five players per side on a 94-by-50-foot court. The objective is to score by shooting the ball through the opposing team's basket, which is mounted 10 feet above the floor. WNBA games consist of four 10-minute quarters. The three-point line is set at 22 feet, 1.75 inches (the same distance as the NBA since 2025). Players may advance the ball by dribbling or passing. Personal fouls accumulate; a player fouls out after six. Team fouls result in free throws. A shot clock of 30 seconds (24 in the NBA) limits possession time. Overtime periods of five minutes resolve tied games.
