Here’s the US women’s basketball team’s full exhibition and Olympic schedule

The U.S. women’s basketball team has an eighth straight Olympic gold medal on its mind, but it has a couple of warmup contests to prepare for before the action begins in Paris.

Team USA is in a league of its own when it comes to women’s basketball at the Olympics. Even with elite players like A’ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart, the squad will need a couple of contests to coalesce ahead of the 2024 Summer Games.

Here is a look at the U.S. women’s basketball team’s upcoming schedule, beginning with a showdown against the WNBA’s top talent.
