Women's National Basketball Association
The premier women's professional basketball league, founded by the NBA in 1996 and first played in 1997. Franchise identity folds relocations and renames into one lineage, so the Detroit Shock's titles sit with the Dallas Wings and Utah Starzz history with the Las Vegas Aces. Defunct franchises are listed alongside the active ones below.
