The New York Liberty are heading into 2025 with big goals and even bigger expectations. After winning the first championship in franchise history and posting a strong 32-8 record last season, they’re looking to keep the momentum going.
Breanna Stewart and Marine Johannès are back, and the Liberty have also added French center Adja Kane through the 2025 WNBA Draft to further strengthen the roster.
But the road won’t be easy. Teams like the Minnesota Lynx, Las Vegas Aces, and a reloaded Indiana Fever will be ready for them. With the 2025 schedule finally out, it’s time to mark those big games!
