The 2024 season for the Seattle Storm, a professional American basketball team based in Seattle, Washington, is their 25th season in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). It is their third full season with Noelle Quinn as head coach. [1] The Storm play their home games at Climate Pledge Arena in the Lower Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle; the 2024 season is their first at a new training facility, the Seattle Storm Center for Basketball Performance in Interbay. [2]

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]
