The 2016 WNBA season was the 18th season for the [[Connecticut Sun]] franchise of the [[Women's National Basketball Association|WNBA]]. It was the 14th season for the franchise in Connecticut. The season tipped off on May 14 in Chicago versus the [[2016 Chicago Sky season|Chicago Sky]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sun.wnba.com/schedule/#?season=2016&seasontype=02|title=2016 Connecticut Sun Schedule|publisher=Women's National Basketball Association|access-date=May 30, 2024}}</ref>

The Sun would lose their next three games, including a triple-overtime thriller against [[2016 Washington Mystics season|Washington]] 106–109. They defeated San Antonio again to break their losing streak before losing three straight games to finish June 2–8. July started much better for the Sun as they won three of their first four games, matching their win total from the first two months of the season. Their only loss came at home to [[2016 Atlanta Dream season|Atlanta]], 63–67. They lost two games and won to games to end the month 5–3. Upon return from the Olympic Break, the Sun went 2–1 in August, defeating [[2016 Minnesota Lynx season|Minnesota]] and San Antonio at home and losing to Atlanta away. They opened September with a win over [[2016 Phoenix Mercury season|Phoenix]], but lost their next three games. They finished the season with three wins and finished September 4–3.

The 2016 WNBA season was the 18th season for the Connecticut Sun franchise of the WNBA. It was the 14th season for the franchise in Connecticut. The season tipped off on May 14 in Chicago versus the Chicago Sky.[1]

The Sun went 3–0 in the preseason, but could not carry that momentum over to the regular season as they opened with a loss. They won their second game of the season over San Antonio before losing their next four straight games to end May 1–5. Their losing streak extended into June as they lost their first two games before defeating Seattle by a point. The Sun would lose their next three games, including a triple-overtime thriller against Washington 106–109. They defeated San Antonio again to break their losing streak before losing three straight games to finish June 2–8. July started much better for the Sun as they won three of their first four games, matching their win total from the first two months of the season. Their only loss came at home to Atlanta, 63–67. They lost two games and won to games to end the month 5–3. Upon return from the Olympic Break, the Sun went 2–1 in August, defeating Minnesota and San Antonio at home and losing to Atlanta away. They opened September with a win over Phoenix, but lost their next three games. They finished the season with three wins and finished September 4–3. Their 14–20 overall record saw them finish ninth overall, two games out of the final playoff spot.
