A question that comes up pretty frequently is who is on the US Women’s basketball team for the 2024 Olympics? Team USA has selected the 12 primary players to represent the U.S. during the Paris Summer games. Team selections are highlighted by a number of WNBA stars to include A’ja Wilson, Kelsey Plum, and Breanna Stewart. Star rookie, Caitlin Clark from the Indiana Fever, was not picked to be on the roster for the Olympics.
Now even though you see a lot of noise on this front on social media, she is an alternate for the team. If anyone drops out due to injury or can’t get up to game speed, she can get added. We’ll just have to wait and see.

When is the First US Women’s Basketball Team Game in Paris?
The women’s basketball schedule in Paris starts on July 27th, 2024. The games run through the medal round that concludes on August 11th, 2024. All 12 teams for the women’s tournament are set. Team USA is in Group C and starts play on Monday, July 29th, 2024, against Japan. The team plays Belgium on August 1st, and then wraps up group play against Germany on August 4th, 2024. All of the games are being broadcast on NBC for the Summer Games. That is why you’ll see some of the game times taking place later than normal on several days in order for the network to be able to maximize the U.S. TV audience in prime time.
