The group stage for the 2024 WNBA Commissioner's Cup is complete and the championship game has been set. The defending champion New York Liberty went a perfect 5-0 to get back to the championship game and earn homecourt advantage, while the 4-1 Minnesota Lynx held off the Seattle Storm via point differential to secure their place. 

Under a revamped format, teams played five Cup games -- which also counted as regular-season games -- over a two-week span from June 1-13. Each team played the other five teams in its conference once, with three games coming at home and two on the road. 

The team in each conference with the best record in those five games advanced to the championship game on June 25. The Liberty will host the Lynx with a $500,000 prize pool at stake.
