The 2024 Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) Finals were contested between the New York Liberty and the Minnesota Lynx. The Liberty's 3-2 victory in the best-of-five championship was watched by an average of 1.57 viewers on ESPN and ABC. This was an increase of 115 percent from the previous year, when the Las Vegas secured their second WNBA championship title. For the Liberty, silverware has been harder to come by, with the franchise's win in 2024 being its first title, despite having featured in five Finals previously.
