Women’s basketball is finally getting the full-scale fantasy treatment and it couldn’t come quick enough.
ESPN is launching ESPN Fantasy Women’s Basketball in early April for signups ahead of the May 6 start of 2022 WNBA season, the company announced Tuesday. It will be the first season-long fantasy game dedicated to a major women’s sport by any major national platform.
Like other fantasy games, the women’s basketball version will offer customizable settings for number of teams, scoring formats, roster options and public and private league options. It will also be supported with analytical tools and editorial insights to help with roster decisions, according to ESPN.
