Oxygen picked up a package of Tuesday night games this season. This was also the last season of the WNBA on NBC, as ABC would become the OTA partner of the league starting in 2003.

While there were no team changes this season, the WNBA Championship was renamed to the WNBA finals.

Much of this info was compiled by John Moynahan at the time of the games airing
