The team's regular season schedule began on May 14 and includes 40 games against the other eleven teams in WNBA. Four games will be played against five teams from the Western Conference and two teams from the Eastern Conference; the Storm will play three games each against the remaining four teams from the Eastern Conference.[3] Five regular season games in early June will be played against teams in the same conference to determine qualification for the WNBA Commissioner's Cup, an in-season tournament first played in 2021.[4]
The Storm will play 10 road games out of their first 15 games and return to Seattle for nine consecutive games at home from June 23 to July 14.[3] The 2024 WNBA season includes a month-long break for the Summer Olympic Games that begins after the WNBA All-Star Game on July 20 in Phoenix, Arizona.[5][6]
