New York Liberty WNBA Season Preview: TV Channel, Start Time, Schedule

Sabrina Ionescu will look to lead the New York Liberty to another record-breaking season in 2025.

The New York Liberty will begin its season in a little over a week and Sabrina Ionescu will continue her leadership role with the hopes of bringing home the WNBA title. Joining Ionescu this season is Connecticut Sun standout Natasha Cloud who has the potential to make a big impact in New York. Last year, the team finished the season with a franchise-best tying record of 32-8 which was enough to claim the No. 1 seed in the playoffs. With its strong season, New York won the WNBA Finals against the Minnesota Lynx. Will the Liberty be able to find the same level of success in 2025?

Liberty 2025 Season Outlook/Stories To Watch

With the success New York found in 2024, the pressure for 2025 is on. The Liberty retained their championship core, including 2023 MVP Breanna Stewart, 2024 Finals MVP Jonquel Jones, All-WNBA guard Sabrina Ionescu and rising forward Leonie Fiebich. The foursome has set the stage for continued success as a program and with new additions in 2025 should see another strong finish and potentially another championship.

While Betnijah Laney-Hamilton will miss the 2025 season due to a knee injury, some new additions should help fulfill her role. Her absence opens opportunities for players like Fiebich and Burke to step up.

Will New York be able to repeat as the 2025 champions following a strong 2024 season?
