The WNBA regular season is finally here, and after a tense offseason of negotiations, the league is ready to tip off this weekend. For Iowa women's basketball fans, there's plenty of reason to tune in: four former Hawkeyes have made final rosters, offering a great chance to see familiar faces shine on the biggest stage.

Let's break down where these former Hawks are playing and when you can catch them in action.

Caitlin Clark – Indiana Fever
Clark remains the most prominent former Hawkeye in the league. After a historic rookie season that earned her Rookie of the Year honors in 2024, she was limited to just 13 games last year due to injury. But she's healthy and ready for a monster comeback. The Fever open their season on Saturday, May 9, against the Dallas Wings at noon CST—catch it on ABC.

Megan Gustafson – Portland Fire
The longest-tenured Hawkeye in the WNBA now suits up for one of the league's two new expansion teams. The Portland Fire will play their first-ever regular-season game on Saturday, May 9, against the Chicago Sky at 8 p.m. CST. Watch the historic debut on NBA TV.

Kate Martin – Golden State Valkyries
Martin has carved out a reliable role in Golden State after spending her rookie season with the Las Vegas Aces. Whether starting or coming off the bench, she brings consistent production. The Valkyries open their season on Friday, May 8, against the Seattle Storm at 9 p.m. CST on ION.

Hannah Olsen – Washington Mystics
Olsen got a well-deserved roster spot after a strong offseason in Australia, where she honed her skills. She'll look to make an immediate impact when the Mystics visit the Toronto Tempo on Friday, May 8, at 6:30 p.m. CST—catch the game on ION.

Whether you're a die-hard Hawkeye fan or just love women's basketball, this season promises plenty of drama, star power, and Iowa pride. Grab your gear and get ready to cheer!
