U.S. — All WNBA fans have officially been ruled out for the remainder of the 2025 season.
The fans have been out since July 15th, but the league had hoped for their return some time before the end of the season. However, the league can now confirm that no fans will be available until at least the beginning of the 2026 season.
"We were looking to get fans back sometime during the playoffs, but they have now been ruled out indefinitely," said commissioner Cathy Engelbert. "Fans tried to come back a couple of times during August, but they just couldn't play through the pain. They will sit out the remainder of the regular season as well as playoffs, and then will be re-evaluated at the start of next season."
WNBA fans had taken several nasty hits over the course of the season, with many warning that it was only a matter of time before they'd be sitting out. "If the refs had stepped up, we wouldn't be in this situation right now," said WNBA player Sophie Cunningham, herself also out for the season. "We just have to hope that the fans will still be able to come back like they were before."
At publishing time, the remainder of the WNBA players had been spotted cheering over the fans' inability to return.
