 | This article includes a list of general references, but it remains largely unverified because it lacks sufficient corresponding inline citations. (December 2020) |
This is a complete listing of Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) playoff series, grouped by franchise. Series featuring relocated and renamed teams are kept with their ultimate relocation franchises. Bolded years indicate wins. Years in italics indicate series in progress.
