2002 Portland Fire season

The 2002 WNBA season was the 3rd and final season for the Portland Fire franchise. The team improved compared from their first two seasons, but playoff hopes were denied when they finished one game back for a playoff berth. The team later folded after the season.

A new Portland Fire will begin play in 2026.
