You might think that Europe would wait until after the WNBA season was over before starting their national professional leagues. No such luck. The women's league in Scotland (there's a women's league in Scotland?) has already tipped off and the first of the "major" European leagues - the French league - starts on September 22nd.

For the countries that we know about, here are the various start dates to the national season. Many thanks to Eurobasket.com for the information! (Give it a visit!)
