All is now set for the playoff phase of the 2024 WNBA championship as Atlanta Dream claimed the last slot of the last day of the regular season. Many records are waiting to be broken this season, as the first games of the playoffs are set for Sunday. No WNBA franchise has won three consecutive championships since the Houston Comets won four straight in the league's first four seasons. Can Aces break this record? The New York Liberty and the Connecticut Sun have never won the WNBA championship. Can any of these sides win it? Below are analyses of the top sides and winner odds.

• Teams from the Western Conference have won 12 of the last 15 WNBA championships.
• Teams from the Western Conference have won 8 of the previous 10 WNBA championships.

• Teams from the Western Conference have won 4 of the last 5 WNBA championships.

• The No. 1 seed in the regular season has won 7 of the last 10 season’s championships.
• The Aces and the Sparks are the only active sides with back-to-back titles. No other active sides have won three in a row.

New York Liberty continue their fight for their first WNBA championship title in history. They are appearing in this playoff phase for the 20th time and have been to the final 5 times, including last season, where they lost to the Aces. To be more fair to them this season, the No. 1 seed in the regular season has won 7 of the last 10 season’s championships. The Liberty ended the regular season with the top seed, matching their 32–8 record last season.

Despite finishing the regular season with No. 4 seed, the Aces remain a force to reckon with in the title race. They won the last two championships, the first time a team had repeated championships since the Sparks in 2002. They are now on the verge of becoming the first team in history to win 3 successive championships since the Houston Comets won four straight in the league's first four seasons. A’ja Wilson is having the best of the season, and Jackie Young, Chelsea Gray, Kelsey Plum, and others are available to help.

The 2017 champions, Minnesota Lynx, finished the regular season with the No. 2 seed and hope to get their second and second titles for the Eastern Conference in 7 years. Since winning the championship in 2017, only Chicago Sky (2021) won it as an Eastern team. The Lynx lost their last game of the season 68-51 after resting All-Star and Olympian Napheesa Collier and Kayla McBride. That obviously affected their offensive output. The Lynx (30-10) have a home advantage against seventh-seeded Phoenix in the best-of-three opening round on Sunday.

Connecticut Sun continue their fight for the first title in the franchise history since establishment in 2003. They have now made the playoffs for the 8th time in a row and have played in the playoffs 16 times before this season. They have made 4 finals, including the 2019 and 2022 finals. Last season, they were eliminated in the semifinals. They will continue in the race until the end after an impressive performance in the regular season that earned them the No. 3 overall seed with a 28-12 record.
