The Cup featured a transition away from the ten-game format to a five-game format, with some teams only having two home games.

The team with the best record in cup games from each conference will play in the championship game against each other, with the team having the best record hosting the game. This season, the cup shifted to a five-game per team format instead of the previous ten games per team. All games were played between June 1, 2024 and June 13, 2024.[1][4] The team with the best record hosted the Cup Final. With their 5–0 cup record, that was the New York Liberty. Their regular home arena, the Barclays Center, was unable to host due to the NBA draft being hosted there on June 26. Therefore, the final was hosted at the UBS Arena in the Nassau County community of Elmont.[5]
Each team selects a charity of their choice to represent, and support thought the Commissioner's Cup series.[6]
