All WNBA games played during the two-week period from June 1 to 13 will be Commissioner's Cup qualifying games and part of the team's 40-game regular season schedule.
The team from each conference with the top record in Commissioner's Cup games will compete for a $500,000 prize pool in the championship game on June 25. The team with the best record in Cup play will host the matchup.
